**[00:03] islander 1**
Princess!
**[00:04] islander**
Princess!
**[00:04] islander 2**
Your Highness!
**[00:14] (Flashback) Aya**
Allow her to go.
**[00:19] Takeru**
Shouldn't you have spoken to her?
**[00:23] Miyako**
She'll probably come back soon enough.
**[00:27] Takeru**
Ah, yes.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Aya**
The princess will discover a new world.
**[00:34] Miyako**
*A new world...*
**[01:02] [SONG] OP**
Looks like it started before I knew it
**[01:10] [SONG] OP**
Thanks to you, I'm all smiles
**[01:17] [SONG] OP**
The usual townscape lends charm to the two of us
**[01:25] [SONG] OP**
Funny how it looks like a starry sky
**[01:34] [SONG] OP**
Suddenly buying flowers
**[01:36] [SONG] OP**
Standing around in the kitchen
**[01:38] [SONG] OP**
Sending a photo, because the setting sun is pretty
**[01:41] [SONG] OP**
Trying to spend as much time with you as I can
**[01:46] [SONG] OP**
This is all new for me
**[01:51] [SONG] OP**
I hope tomorrow is like today
**[01:57] [SONG] OP**
I've never felt this way before
**[02:03] [SONG] OP**
We'll go on a date this weekend if possible
**[02:09] [SONG] OP**
But it's fine if we stay home
**[02:16] [SONG] OP**
I can't wait to see you
**[02:23] (Flashback) attendee 1**
They're so young, too.

Crunch Time with the Princess
**[02:25] (Flashback) attendee 2**
I feel sorry for Machi-chan and her family.
**[02:27] (Flashback) attendee 1**
What are they going to do?
**[02:29] (Flashback) Machi**
Ichiro.
**[02:31] (Flashback) Machi**
What'll happen to us now?
**[02:33] (Flashback) Ichiro**
Don't worry.
**[02:35] (Flashback) Ichiro**
I'll take care of everything, somehow.
***SIGN*** rough sketches by 10AM!
**[02:51] Ichiro**
Oh, no!
**[03:01] Chihiro**
You got that, Machi-chan?
**[03:03] Machi**
Yep.
**[03:04] Machi**
The food Ichiro makes is easy to prepare.
**[03:12] Fumio**
Thank you.
**[03:14] Chihiro**
You're welcome.
**[03:17] Chihiro**
Is Ichiro-kun busy again?
**[03:19] Machi**
There's a deadline coming.
**[03:23] Machi**
Ichiro, here's breakfast.
**[03:26] Ichiro**
Man, oh man!
**[03:29] Fumio**
You okay?
**[03:31] Ichiro**
I-I-I'm fine.
**[03:34] Machi**
You must've overslept.
**[03:36] Chihiro**
You still haven't found an assistant?
**[03:39] Ichiro**
Right.
**[03:40] Ichiro**
It's hard to find anyone who'll
do the finishing touches by hand.
**[03:44] Chihiro**
And Sano-kun and Akita-kun both
suddenly did the solo debut thing.
**[03:50] Ichiro**
*My deadline's 7:00 the day after tomorrow.*
**[03:53] Ichiro**
* After rough sketches,*
* I've got ten more pages to ink.*
**[03:57] Ichiro**
*For backgrounds... I've got zilch.*
**[04:01] Ichiro**
Don't worry! I'll be sure to get it done!
**[04:03] Ichiro**
And then, with the pay,
we'll all go out for steak!
**[04:07] Machi**
Steak? Come on, Ichiro.
**[04:10] Chihiro**
Don't overextend yourself.
**[04:14] Ichiro**
* After I graduated high school and debuted*
* as a manga artist, our father passed away.*
**[04:20] Ichiro**
* I was already serialized in a magazine,*
* so instead of finding a job,*
**[04:23] Ichiro**
* I began living off manuscript fees and the*
* rent from the apartment building I inherited.*

**[04:29] Ichiro**
*My stuff doesn't sell well, to be honest.*
**[04:32] Ichiro**
* But I've got to work hard to send*
* my sister and brother to college.*
***SIGN*** Masahiro Morikuni
**[04:42] Ichiro**
Hello, Kuga speaking.
**[04:43] Machi**
It's Morikuni.
**[04:46] Ichiro**
You found an assistant?!
**[04:50] Ichiro**
Understood!
**[04:55] Machi**
I'll predict your future!
**[05:04] Machi**
See you later!
**[05:06] Fumio**
Later.
**[05:07] Ichiro**
Wait! Tell me my fortune!
**[05:10] Chihiro**
What was his fortune?
**[05:14] Machi**
It came up colorless.
**[05:17] Machi**
Both his future and his
manuscript are blank! Get it?
**[05:21] Chihiro**
Right...
**[05:24] Ichiro**
I'd better get going!
**[05:32] (Flashback) Morikuni**
They were traced, but her
backgrounds are pretty good!
**[05:35] Ichiro**
*Seriously? That'd be great!*
**[05:38] (Flashback) Morikuni**
I only just saw it via email,
so no guarantees.
***SIGN*** Accepting

***SIGN*** Dance
***SIGN*** Ballet
**[05:41] Ichiro**
*Hey, I'm just thankful you got one at all!*
**[05:45] (Flashback) Morikuni**
Go and meet up with her.
Seems she doesn't know the area.
**[05:49] Ichiro**
*Will do.*
**[05:51] Ichiro**
*At this point, I'd go any distance.*
**[06:04] Ichiro**
Excuse me.
**[06:15] Ichiro**
Um, are you the assistant?
**[06:20] Shiori**
Are you Momo-Tea Kokone-sensei?
**[06:26] Ichiro**
Please call me by my real name,
not my pen name!
**[06:29] Ichiro**
It's Ichiro Kuga.
**[06:33] Ichiro**
*If word gets around that it's me,*
**[06:35] Ichiro**
* it might end up being embarrassing*
* for Machi and Fumio.*
**[06:37] classmate 1**
Your brother draws manga?
**[06:40] classmate 2**
Is he famous? Get us his autograph!
**[06:42] Machi**
Shut up.
**[06:44] Shiori**
I beg your pardon.
**[06:45] Shiori**
I am Shiori Goshiki,
and I hope to be your assistant.
**[06:49] Shiori**
It's nice to meet you.
**[06:52] Ichiro**
Likewise.
**[06:53] Ichiro**
W-Would you mind if we got right to work?
**[06:57] Shiori**
All right.
**[07:01] sign**
Hiiragi Apartments
**[07:09] Ichiro**
I apologize.
**[07:11] Ichiro**
I would have liked to give you
a day to get used to things.
**[07:14] Ichiro**
But we're in a rush today,
so we need to get to work.
**[07:17] Shiori**
Okay.
**[07:18] Ichiro**
You can use the art tools here
or ones you're already used to.
**[07:23] Ichiro**
Here are the storyboards
and some past works.
**[07:26] Shiori**
All right.
**[07:29] Ichiro**
Um...
**[07:32] Ichiro**
There's a room where assistants can
change their clothes, if needed.
**[07:37] Shiori**
That's okay. I always dress like this.
**[07:40] Ichiro**
Well...
**[07:48] Ichiro**
Here.
**[07:50] Ichiro**
Please borrow this,
since your clothes look expensive.
**[07:53] Shiori**
Is that so?
**[07:54] Ichiro**
Don't worry if it gets dirty.
**[08:02] Ichiro**
Okay, please start by doing panel
borders and backgrounds for these.
**[08:06] Shiori**
Will do.
**[08:11] Ichiro**
*Sh-She's fast! And skillful!*
**[08:14] Ichiro**
*And also, very beautiful.*
**[08:18] Ichiro**
Your line work is beautiful!
**[08:21] Ichiro**
Have you been an assistant for long?
**[08:23] Shiori**
No, this is my first time.
**[08:25] Ichiro**
For real?!
**[08:28] Shiori**
I learned using this book,
*Shojo Manga Lessons*.
**[08:32] Ichiro**
That book's pretty old.
**[08:35] Ichiro**
Oh, but it was compiled by
Funeko Horehoro-sensei.
**[08:39] Ichiro**
Not bad.
**[08:41] Shiori**
Excuse me.
**[08:42] Shiori**
What should I do next?
**[08:44] Ichiro**
Oh, sorry.
**[08:46] Ichiro**
Let's see.
**[08:48] Ichiro**
Ink the highlights on this hair.
**[08:49] Shiori**
All right.
**[08:52] Shiori**
I'm done.
**[08:53] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[08:55] Ichiro**
Would you mind scraping this screentone?
**[08:57] Shiori**
Sure.
**[09:01] Shiori**
Finished.
**[09:03] Shiori**
What's next?
**[09:06] Ichiro**
*I'm* so *grateful! I'll* definitely *
make the deadline now!*
**[09:10] Shiori**
Um...
**[09:13] Ichiro**
It's flawless!
**[09:14] Machi**
We're home!
**[09:16] Fumio**
Home.
**[09:23] Ichiro**
Welcome back.
**[09:26] Machi**
Are you a gemstone princess?!
**[09:29] Shiori**
No, children, not gemstone.
**[09:32] Ichiro**
Machi.
**[09:34] Ichiro**
This is Shiori Goshiki-san,
who became my assistant in a hurry.
**[09:38] Machi**
Welcome.
**[09:39] Machi**
Wait, have you been working her non-stop?
**[09:42] Machi**
Taking breaks improves efficiency!
**[09:44] Ichiro**
I-I'm sorry.
**[09:46] Machi**
Does she know where to
find the sink and bathroom?
**[09:49] Ichiro**
Oh, that's *right!*
**[09:51] Machi**
Don't forget these things!
**[09:54] Machi**
Ten-minute break!
**[09:55] Machi**
I'll show you around!
**[09:58] Shiori**
Please do.
**[10:00] Machi**
Each of these has a bedroom,
dining area, and kitchenette.
**[10:03] Machi**
You're guaranteed privacy,
and there's also a common area.
**[10:06] Machi**
They're "social apartments."
**[10:08] Shiori**
Social apartments?
**[10:10] Machi**
All sorts of people live in them:
a manicurist, an office worker, etc.
**[10:14] Machi**
Also our cousin, Chibi-chan.
**[10:17] Shiori**
Chibi-chan?
**[10:19] Machi**
Ichiro is a live-in landlord
and manga artist!
**[10:23] Shiori**
Now I see.
**[10:25] Machi**
This is the communal kitchen and lounge.
**[10:28] Machi**
There's an oven, so those who
want to cook use this it a lot.
**[10:32] Machi**
The rooms besides ours only have showers,
but there's a public bath nearby.
**[10:37] Shiori**
That's good to know.
**[10:39] Machi**
So, this is the vacant room that
assistants use for staying overnight.
**[10:43] Shiori**
It's lovely.
**[10:46] Machi**
You'll use it, right?
**[10:50] Machi**
Food's here!
**[10:56] Ichiro**
Huh? Where's Goshiki-san?
**[10:59] Machi**
She said she'd eat alone
in the assistant's room.
**[11:03] Ichiro**
* Maybe I should have told*
* her to go out to eat.*
**[11:06] Machi**
Maybe...
**[11:07] Machi**
She has a mouth on the back of her head!
**[11:10] Machi**
Or she's an animal spirit
who's repaying you.
**[11:12] Ichiro**
Don't be weird about it.
**[11:14] Ichiro**
You know what she is? She's pro-level.
**[11:17] Ichiro**
No, goddess-level!
**[11:19] Machi**
Okay!
**[11:20] Machi**
I sure hope she stays on.
**[11:22] Fumio**
Stays on.
**[11:37] Ichiro**
Think I'll make some tea.
**[11:39] Shiori**
I'll do it.
**[11:40] Ichiro**
No, that's okay.
**[11:42] Shiori**
I just finished this work I was doing.
**[11:49] Machi**
Huh?
**[11:51] Machi**
You knew where the tea was?
**[11:53] Shiori**
Yes. Would you like some?
**[11:55] Fumio**
Uh-uh.
**[11:57] Machi**
We'd just have to go to the bathroom again.
**[11:59] Machi**
Why don't you stop for the day?
We don't wanna turn into a sweatshop.
**[12:05] Shiori**
I can keep going.
**[12:07] Shiori**
Actually, I thought I'd get
even fewer breaks than this.
**[12:11] Shiori**
I heard it's a tight schedule.
**[12:12] Machi**
Oh, yeah.
**[12:15] Machi**
Ichiro's no good at asking
for help, even with work.
**[12:18] Machi**
He said he's saving up money
so he can send us to college.
**[12:23] Machi**
He says he has to be like a parent to us.
**[12:29] Machi**
And he tries to take care
of everything by himself.
**[12:34] Shiori**
Even without connection, you guys have
some great communication going on.
**[12:39] Machi**
Commu...
**[12:41] Machi**
What?
**[12:46] Machi**
Well, anyway, get some sleep.
**[12:49] Shiori**
Okay.
**[12:59] Ichiro**
So cute.
**[13:02] Shiori**
Here.
**[13:04] Ichiro**
Thank you. Go ahead and stop for the day.
**[13:11] Shiori**
Just these panel borders.
**[13:13] Ichiro**
Thanks, I appreciate it.
**[13:18] Ichiro**
Want the radio on to keep you awake?
**[13:21] Shiori**
No, thank you.
**[13:22] Shiori**
I know. Why don't I tell you about myself?
**[13:26] Ichiro**
Sure.
**[13:30] Ichiro**
I'm nearly 19, and before this year,
I had never read any manga.
**[13:35] Ichiro**
Wow, that's unusual.
**[13:38] Ichiro**
Well, not unheard of.
Your parents didn't let you?
**[13:43] Shiori**
That's correct.
**[13:45] Shiori**
It's just that my grandmother loved books,
**[13:49] Shiori**
and she let me alone see her collection.

**[13:51] Shiori**
Your manga was part of it.
**[13:54] Ichiro**
Huh?!
**[13:55] Shiori**
I was surprised.
**[13:57] Ichiro**
*Did I draw something weird?*
**[14:00] Shiori**
I never realized such
flights of fancy existed.
**[14:04] Ichiro**
*That's not a compliment.*
**[14:06] Shiori**
A misunderstanding leads to a quarrel.
**[14:08] Shiori**
But a mysterious fever called love
somehow grows out of it all.
**[14:14] Shiori**
There are so many such stories,
ever in different forms.
**[14:19] Ichiro**
Yeah, that's shojo manga for you.
**[14:22] Ichiro**
Constant ups and downs.
From one problem to the next.
**[14:28] Shiori**
But I found all that
discomfort to be touching.
**[14:33] Ichiro**
Hey, Goshiki-san...
**[14:35] Ichiro**
Usually, the workload is a little
more evenly paced around here.
**[14:39] Ichiro**
So can I continue to count on you?
**[14:42] Shiori**
Yes!
**[15:05] Ichiro**
Could you...
**[15:07] Shiori**
Hair highlights, right?
**[15:09] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[15:16] Ichiro**
The day's already gone by?!
**[15:19] Ichiro**
Thanks, Goshiki-san.
This is enough for today.
**[15:23] Shiori**
I can keep going.
**[15:25] Ichiro**
Thank you.
**[15:27] Ichiro**
But once this page is done,
that just leaves finishing touches.
**[15:31] Ichiro**
I can do those myself.
**[15:33] Shiori**
I'm reluctant to stop.
**[15:35] Ichiro**
If you push too hard, you'll burn out.
**[15:38] Ichiro**
Let's see, the finished manuscript
is... one page, two...
**[15:49] Shiori**
What's the matter?
**[15:51] Ichiro**
It's missing... one.
**[15:53] Shiori**
Missing one?
**[15:57] Ichiro**
Hold on! Hold on!
**[15:59] Shiori**
Um, what do you mean the
manuscript's missing one?
**[16:00] Ichiro**
Don't tell me...
**[16:02] Ichiro**
No, it's here! I think
I remember drawing it!
**[16:06] Ichiro**
Found it!
**[16:14] Ichiro**
*I barely even touched it!*
**[16:16] Machi**
Blenk.
**[16:20] Shiori**
I can keep going.
**[16:22] Ichiro**
No, it's okay! I'll figure something out.
**[16:25] Ichiro**
* Rough sketch, inking, finishes.*
* That'll take 2-3 hours.*
**[16:30] Ichiro**
*Maybe I* should *ask Goshiki-san to...*
**[16:32] Ichiro**
* No, an all-nighter is too much to*
* ask when she's not permanent yet.*
**[16:38] Ichiro**
*I'll finish just in time, if I don't sleep.*
**[16:40] Shiori**
I am unable to guess your feelings.
**[16:46] Shiori**
If you really do want help,
please tell me honestly.
**[16:53] Shiori**
Do you need assistance?
**[16:56] Ichiro**
*I just can't afford to miss the deadline.*
**[16:59] Ichiro**
*I'd lose a month's worth of manuscript pay.*
**[17:02] mother**
* I know I'm your mother,*
* but I have a new life now.*
**[17:06] Ichiro**
* Worst case, I could submit*
* it with just inks and fills.*
**[17:09] Ichiro**
* This one page could have some*
* white space left in it.*
**[17:13] (Flashback) Machi**
Work hard at the manga, Ichiro.
**[17:15] Ichiro**
*If I just do the best I can do...*
**[17:19] Shiori**
Do you...
**[17:22] Shiori**
need assistance?
**[17:27] Ichiro**
I'm sorry, Goshiki-san!
**[17:29] Ichiro**
I don't really want to cut corners!
**[17:32] Ichiro**
Please work with me all night!
**[17:35] Ichiro**
I'll give you overtime pay!
**[17:39] Shiori**
I will work with you.
**[17:51] Ichiro/Shiori**
F-Finished!
**[17:56] Ichiro**
I'll make copies, send an email,
and check it over.
**[18:02] Ichiro**
You sleep, Gohiki-han...
**[18:04] Shiori**
Right.
**[18:11] Ichiro**
*I'm so tired.*
**[18:13] Ichiro**
*I've kept such regular hours lately.*
**[18:16] Ichiro**
*I haven't... done an all-nighter... in ages.*
**[18:26] Ichiro**
Shoot, I fell asleep briefly.
**[18:30] Ichiro**
And Goshiki-san didn't get far, either.
**[18:34] Ichiro**
Huh?!
**[18:38] Ichiro**
*There's a G-pen sticking her!*
**[18:41] Ichiro**
Look out!
**[18:46] Ichiro**
*O-Outer space?*
**[19:01] Shiori**
Now you and my stinger have been linked.
**[19:08] Shiori**
That amounts to the two of us vowing
to bind our destinies together!
**[19:14] Ichiro**
I just had some kind of hallucination.
**[19:19] Shiori**
I'm saying that in my land,
**[19:21] Shiori**
it's an act permitted only to
those in a marital relationship.
**[19:25] Ichiro**
Marital?
**[19:27] Shiori**
I never thought you were the type to touch
someone's body while they're asleep!
**[19:31] Ichiro**
W-Wait, you've got the wrong idea!
**[19:34] Ichiro**
I thought, well, there was a
sharp object stuck in you!
**[19:38] Shiori**
Sharp object?
**[19:43] Ichiro**
This is how it looked!
**[19:48] Shiori**
You were trying to save my life?
**[19:50] Ichiro**
Yeah, and I messed up!
**[19:52] Ichiro**
I mean, sorry.
**[19:54] Ichiro**
If I hadn't been half asleep,
I might not have mistaken it.
**[20:00] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, I realize I'm the one who
asked you to pull an all-nighter.
**[20:04] Ichiro**
I'm sorry.
**[20:06] Shiori**
I'm sorry, too.
**[20:09] Shiori**
If it looked like a sharp object
was sticking me, then thank you.
**[20:14] Ichiro**
*That stinger thing.*
**[20:17] Ichiro**
*It was like a tail.*
**[20:19] Ichiro**
*Are there people with tails?*
**[20:22] Ichiro**
* No, if that's the case,*
* asking about it might be rude.*
**[20:27] Shiori**
You and I only just met,
and you don't know anything.
**[20:32] Shiori**
Maybe it was lucky that you
happened to touch me this way?
**[20:36] Ichiro**
We only just met, but I already
know that you're reliable,
**[20:40] Ichiro**
and you do meticulous work.
**[20:43] Ichiro**
That's why I feel really sorry.
**[20:46] Ichiro**
I would say I feel awkward.
**[20:49] Ichiro**
Not lucky.
**[20:53] Shiori**
Then, sure enough.
**[20:55] Shiori**
Physical contact must be wonderful
between those who trust one another.
**[21:00] Shiori**
Like in the stories.
**[21:04] Ichiro**
Just who are you, Goshiki-san?
**[21:07] Shiori**
I am the princess of the Star People.
**[21:10] Ichiro**
Huh?!
**[21:11] Shiori**
I don't desire marriage born of mishap.
**[21:14] Shiori**
I figure that love should come first.
**[21:18] Ichiro**
No, wait a minute!
**[21:20] Ichiro**
You shouldn't joke like that with
a coworker you don't know well!
**[21:23] Ichiro**
I'm raising young kids. I can't
have weird rumors going around!
**[21:29] Shiori**
I wouldn't say I don't know you well.
**[21:33] Shiori**
I thought your art was the
simplest in that magazine,
**[21:37] Shiori**
so as practice, I started out by copying it.
**[21:40] Shiori**
The more I traced, the more I could tell how
much time and care was spent creating it.
**[21:47] Shiori**
That's why I would say
I know you by your work.
**[21:52] Shiori**
I suppose you could say I'm your fan?
**[21:56] Ichiro**
Well, in a way that makes it even worse.
**[22:00] Shiori**
Oh, right.
**[22:02] Shiori**
We'll start as friends, then.
**[22:07] Shiori**
Here's hoping for the best.
**[22:10] Ichiro**
Y-Yeah...
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:46] Machi**
I'm glad such a great person has come!
**[23:49] Machi**
He said she's "goddess level"!
**[23:50] Fumio**
They've gone somewhere together.
**[23:52] Machi**
The heat is on!
**[23:53] Fumio**
He's burning up.
**[23:55] Machi**
Why?!

**[00:00] Shiori**
I am the princess of the Star People,
and I wandered here from outer space.
**[00:06] Ichiro**
*Princess?*
**[00:07] Ichiro**
*She might be dangerous...*
**[00:10] Shiori**
Our customs dictate that a marital union be
formed with the one linked by my stinger.
**[00:16] Ichiro**
Are those your family's customs?
**[00:20] Shiori**
Yes.
**[00:21] Shiori**
I was supposed to marry a
partner of my parents' choosing.
**[00:26] Shiori**
But I learned from manga how wonderful
an unfettered love and life can be,
**[00:32] Shiori**
and I decided to leave the island.
**[00:36] Shiori**
And so Kuga-san, you and I must
first attempt to fall in love.
**[00:41] Ichiro**
You don't want to obey
those customs, do you?
**[00:44] Shiori**
Correct.
**[00:45] Ichiro**
Then, is there any need to
force yourself into love?
**[00:51] Ichiro**
I mean, falling in love is fine,
but choose your partner carefully.
**[00:56] Shiori**
I see your point.
**[00:58] Shiori**
I do have the choice to not fall in love.
**[01:01] Ichiro**
Besides, it's always possible
I already have someone.
**[01:06] Shiori**
Do you?
**[01:07] Ichiro**
I don't at the moment.
**[01:10] Ichiro**
But let's just forget that
whole thing. It's problematic.
**[01:14] Shiori**
You've already been chosen, though.
**[01:22] Ichiro**
Oh, sorry. We'll come back to this.
**[01:24] Shiori**
Um, would you mind if I got some rest?
**[01:29] Ichiro**
No problem. Feel free to take a nap.
**[01:38] Ichiro**
*What really is her deal?*
**[01:53] [SONG] OP**
Looks like it started before I knew it
**[02:01] [SONG] OP**
Thanks to you, I'm all smiles
**[02:08] [SONG] OP**
The usual townscape lends charm to the two of us
**[02:16] [SONG] OP**
Funny how it looks like a starry sky
**[02:25] [SONG] OP**
Suddenly buying flowers
**[02:27] [SONG] OP**
Standing around in the kitchen
**[02:29] [SONG] OP**
Sending a photo, because the setting sun is pretty
**[02:32] [SONG] OP**
Trying to spend as much time with you as I can
**[02:37] [SONG] OP**
This is all new for me
**[02:42] [SONG] OP**
I hope tomorrow is like today
**[02:48] [SONG] OP**
I've never felt this way before
**[02:54] [SONG] OP**
We'll go on a date this weekend if possible
**[03:00] [SONG] OP**
But it's fine if we stay home
**[03:07] [SONG] OP**
I can't wait to see you

with the Princess
**[03:18] Morikuni**
Hey, good work.
**[03:21] Morikuni**
What's wrong?
**[03:22] Ichiro**
I had a bit of a scare.
**[03:24] Ichiro**
I thought I was going to miss the deadline.
**[03:27] Morikuni**
Yeah, that'd be scary.
**[03:30] Morikuni**
Speaking of scary, I recently
saw two horror flicks in a row.
**[03:34] Ichiro**
Oh, impressive. Were they any good?
**[03:38] Morikuni**
I think you could handle them, Kuga-kun.
**[03:40] Morikuni**
They both had to do with villages with
strange festivals, customs, rituals, etc.
**[03:43] sign**
customs
**[03:46] Ichiro**
No, I would pass.
**[03:48] Morikuni**
But they're entertaining.
**[03:52] Morikuni**
Oh, hey, why not draw some color pages?
**[03:55] Morikuni**
I like your coloring.
**[03:58] Ichiro**
Of course!
**[03:59] Morikuni**
Cool, take today off.
**[04:03] Ichiro**
Yes!
**[04:05] Ichiro**
My first color pages in a year!
**[04:21] (Flashback) Shiori**
Good morning, everyone.
**[04:24] (Flashback) islander 1**
Good morning, princess.
**[04:26] (Flashback) islander 2**
Good morning.
**[04:40] Shiori**
*Sure enough.*
**[04:43] Shiori**
* I guess when I'm this far away from*
* my people, our bond will weaken.*
**[04:53] Machi**
We're having barbecue tonight!
**[04:55] Fumio**
Great.
**[04:56] Chihiro**
Where's Ichiro-kun?
**[04:58] Machi**
Still asleep, right?
**[05:02] Shiori**
Excuse me.
**[05:04] Machi**
Goshiki-san, you're awake!
**[05:07] Chihiro**
Good morning.
**[05:08] Shiori**
Um...
**[05:09] Chihiro**
Oh, I'm Chihiro Ibusuki from room 201.
**[05:14] Shiori**
Chibi-chan!
**[05:17] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[05:18] Chihiro**
Would you like to go get lunch?
**[05:21] Shiori**
No, thank you.
**[05:23] Shiori**
I'm going to head home first.
**[05:27] Chihiro**
All right.
**[05:33] Machi**
Ichiro, it's about dinnertime.
**[05:42] Chihiro**
He has a fever.
**[05:44] Machi**
You need to get decent sleep!
**[05:51] Shiori**
I'd better text him where to send my pay.
**[05:55] Fumio**
Text message.
**[05:56] Chihiro**
Who could it be?
**[05:57] sign**
bank info.txt
**[05:57] sign**
Please send my payments to this bank account.
**[05:58] sign**
I have a fever and will respond to you later.
**[05:59] Machi**
Hey! Fumio, that's not your phone!
**[06:06] Fumio**
Ichiro!
**[06:08] Ichiro**
Fumio! Get away, or you'll catch this!
**[06:14] Machi**
Get us sick! We'll split it into thirds!
**[06:18] Ichiro**
Chibi-chan, could you keep
them isolated from me?
**[06:20] Fumio**
Into thirds.
**[06:21] Chihiro**
S-Sure.
**[06:21] Machi**
Hurry and get better!
**[06:28] Ichiro**
* I'm so drained. Was this*
* usually how colds feel?*
**[06:33] Ichiro**
*I wonder if Goshiki-san's all right.*
**[06:42] Shiori**
Kuga-san, please hold my hand!
**[06:47] Shiori**
I apologize for this, but it seems
you're under my influence.
**[06:52] Shiori**
Your fever appears to have formed because
we moved away from each other physically.
**[06:57] Ichiro**
A fever because you and
I got too far apart?
**[07:01] Shiori**
Yes. It's more like my
power than my influence.
**[07:05] Shiori**
Do you feel a little better
now that I've returned?
**[07:08] Ichiro**
Better than before, now that you mention it.
**[07:13] Shiori**
I'm sorry.
**[07:15] Shiori**
You're receiving retribution.
**[07:18] Shiori**
For being my betrothed,
yet being far apart from me.
**[07:23] Shiori**
It's all to protect me, as princess.
**[07:27] Shiori**
Neither I nor you can control the
intentions of the Great Star.
**[07:33] Shiori**
An accident may have led to this,
**[07:35] Shiori**
but I never meant to put you
through this unreasonable ordeal.
**[07:40] Shiori**
I'm sorry.
**[07:43] Ichiro**
Hey, um...
**[07:45] Ichiro**
This whole scenario of yours?
**[07:47] Ichiro**
You don't need it either, do you?
**[07:50] Shiori**
Oh, please don't get up.
**[07:55] Shiori**
I'll lie down next to you.
**[08:06] Ichiro**
Y-You can get up!
**[08:09] Shiori**
It's no problem.
**[08:10] Ichiro**
It seems awkward!
**[08:13] Shiori**
Machi-san said you're doing work for your
siblings' sake that isn't what you want to do.
**[08:19] Ichiro**
She said that?
**[08:22] Shiori**
Yes.
**[08:22] Ichiro**
Well, it's true that I didn't have
any luck with shonen magazines.
**[08:26] Ichiro**
And I was happy to be told that
I'm cut out for shojo manga.
**[08:29] Ichiro**
But it's not only for
Machi's and Fumio's sakes.
**[08:33] Shiori**
Is that so?
**[08:35] Ichiro**
I'm just lucky that what I like to do and
what I have to do happen to overlap.
**[08:42] Shiori**
You accept your burden and
search for the best path forward.
**[08:47] Ichiro**
I've never thought of it as a burden.
**[08:51] Ichiro**
Isn't it a tiresome idea that people need to
be given things like burdens and retribution?
**[08:58] Shiori**
Yes, I've long wondered if it's possible
to share feelings with someone
**[09:01] Shiori**
without controlling them!
**[09:04] Shiori**
Like in those beautiful stories I've read.
**[09:12] Shiori**
What's this?
**[09:14] Ichiro**
Rough color sketches.
**[09:15] Shiori**
Color! It's been a year since you've done any.
**[09:18] Ichiro**
Yeah, I was so excited I drew a bunch.
**[09:23] Ichiro**
Which do you like best?
**[09:28] Shiori**
I like this one.
**[09:30] Ichiro**
O-Okay, maybe I'll try expanding
on this pattern a little more.
**[09:35] Shiori**
Don't overdo it.
**[09:38] Ichiro**
Will I... get better if we hold hands?
**[09:42] Shiori**
Physical contact should lessen the burden.
**[09:51] Ichiro**
I-If you would.
**[10:11] Ichiro**
*That's kinda comfy.*
**[10:13] Ichiro**
* I see. She's been telling*
* the truth from the start.*
**[10:20] Ichiro**
*No matter how silly it might sound.*
**[10:38] Ichiro**
Fumio, where's Goshiki-san?
**[10:41] Fumio**
Ichiro!
**[10:43] Ichiro**
Sorry about that. I'm fine now.
**[10:56] Ichiro**
Uh, about what you said.

I'm still staying somewhere temporarily,
so I'm looking for a place.
**[11:07] Shiori**
Can I rent a room?

As a friend, I recommend the place.

Developing a relationship from
friendship is lovely, too.

How do I explain that to Machi and Fumio?
**[11:47] Shiori**
Excuse me.
**[11:48] Shiori**
I'll help out.
**[11:51] Ichiro**
No, it's okay. It's part
of my landlord duties.
**[11:54] Shiori**
Well, I also want to chat.
**[11:58] Ichiro**
Yeah, we do need to discuss
what to do from here.
**[12:12] Shiori**
You want to know if it's
possible to annul our pact.
**[12:19] Ichiro**
*Is* it possible?
**[12:20] Shiori**
I don't know yet, but I arranged for
my staff on the island to look into it.
**[12:26] Ichiro**
Th-Thank you.
**[12:28] Shiori**
Is that enough?
**[12:30] Ichiro**
That was quick!
**[12:31] Ichiro**
Th-Thanks. This helped me finish up early.
**[12:34] Shiori**
No problem.
**[12:36] Shiori**
I have a favor to ask of you, too.
**[12:38] Ichiro**
*Th-This timing makes it hard to refuse.*
**[12:42] Shiori**
I want to go shopping.
Could you come with me?
**[12:46] Ichiro**
Oh, is that all?
**[12:54] Shiori**
Work clothes, everyday clothes,
and daily necessities.
**[12:57] Shiori**
Is it okay if I go look?
**[12:59] Ichiro**
Go ahead.
**[13:03] Ichiro**
* Machi still gets clothes from the children's*
* section, so I never come to this floor.*
**[13:09] Shiori**
Kuga-san, Kuga-san!
**[13:10] Ichiro**
Yes?
**[13:14] Shiori**
What do you think?
**[13:19] Shiori**
Either this...
**[13:21] Shiori**
...this...
**[13:23] Shiori**
...or this. I can't decide.
**[13:25] Ichiro**
I'm sorry, I can't tell the difference!
**[13:29] Shiori**
I'll think on it a bit more, then.
**[13:32] Shiori**
I-If I mix this in like this...
**[13:38] Shiori**
What do you think?
**[13:40] Ichiro**
Well, it... looks like a school uniform.
**[13:44] Shiori**
Does it?!
**[13:45] Ichiro**
Um...
**[13:47] Shiori**
I guess nobody but students would wear this.
**[13:51] Ichiro**
Uh, no.
**[13:52] Ichiro**
It's fine for you to wear
it because you like it.
**[13:55] Ichiro**
Did your school not have uniforms?
**[13:59] Shiori**
They were correspondence
courses, so no uniforms.
**[14:01] Shiori**
I've always wanted to try wearing one.
**[14:05] Ichiro**
*Goshiki-san...*
**[14:06] Ichiro**
Then go on and buy it!
**[14:09] Shiori**
I-I will!
**[14:14] Shiori**
They have a lot more books than
my grandmother's library!
**[14:18] Shiori**
I-It's a gold mine! Wonderful!
**[14:22] Shiori**
I might prefer some over others,
**[14:24] Shiori**
but I suspect all the books out
there in the world are interesting.
**[14:28] Shiori**
I want to purchase one, for the occasion.
**[14:30] Shiori**
Should I make it one of yours?
**[14:32] Ichiro**
No, don't worry about that.
**[14:36] Ichiro**
*She sure is straightforward.*
**[14:43] Shiori**
I bought some!
**[14:45] Ichiro**
Good for you.
**[14:47] employee**
Your custard pudding, miss.
**[14:49] Shiori**
This is wonderful!
**[14:52] employee**
Your strawberry brûlée parfait, sir.
**[14:55] Shiori**
From me, to all the Star People.
**[15:02] Ichiro**
Are you... praying?
**[15:05] Shiori**
No, it's a habit before eating.
**[15:08] Shiori**
I thought I'd try connecting with my people.
**[15:10] Shiori**
But maybe because of the
distance, there's no response.
**[15:14] Ichiro**
Are you saying you can use
telepathy with the islanders?
**[15:18] Shiori**
It's something like that.
**[15:22] Shiori**
Oh, my!
**[15:25] Shiori**
This pudding is wonderful!
**[15:28] Ichiro**
Hey, I found the island's site.
**[15:31] Shiori**
Site?
**[15:33] sign**
Island legends
**[15:33] sign**
Island life
**[15:33] sign**
Sightseeing
**[15:33] sign**
Access
**[15:33] Ichiro**
I mean this.
**[15:35] Shiori**
There's so much I don't know.
**[15:38] Ichiro**
Hey, I never look at *my* local tourist sites.
**[15:42] Ichiro**
So, there's a page about
legends told on the island.
**[15:47] Ichiro**
One day, the children of the
island found a shooting star.
**[15:52] Ichiro**
The star fell at the foot of a
mountain and began to cry and cry.
**[15:59] Ichiro**
A concerned island child came close,
and the star's tears soaked into her.
**[16:04] Ichiro**
She could sense how sad
the star was feeling.
**[16:08] Ichiro**
"I'm going to tell everyone else."
**[16:12] Ichiro**
She distributed the tears to other children,
**[16:15] Ichiro**
and they too could understand
the star's feelings.
**[16:19] Ichiro**
It was so lonely, it couldn't stand it.
**[16:22] Ichiro**
For every tear the star shed, it grew smaller,
and eventually disappeared altogether.
**[16:29] Ichiro**
But don't worry.
**[16:31] Ichiro**
The star's feelings got through to the
people of the island, and it's not lonely anymore.
**[16:37] Ichiro**
Do the Star People you mentioned
come from this story?
**[16:43] Shiori**
It's been made easy for
children to understand.
**[16:46] Shiori**
I was taught it too, when I was little.
**[16:50] Shiori**
It was a meteorite rather than a star,
**[16:52] Shiori**
and I heard it brought with it
some kind of microorganism.
**[16:56] Ichiro**
Doesn't that mean it's
some kind of parasite?
**[16:59] Ichiro**
And that means, you...
**[17:01] Shiori**
According to my grandmother,
it's coexistence rather than parasitism.
**[17:05] Shiori**
She was the first Star Child,
two generations before me.
**[17:09] Shiori**
I never had any deep conversations
with her when I was young,
**[17:14] Shiori**
A year ago, when my mother's rule began,
**[17:17] Shiori**
my grandmother started teaching me stories.
**[17:20] Ichiro**
I see.
**[17:22] Shiori**
They were exciting for me, as until then,
I'd only had limited contact with books.
**[17:28] Shiori**
History filled with revolutions,
everyday activity in foreign lands...
**[17:33] Shiori**
Huge schools, with tyrannical
student councils.
**[17:36] Shiori**
The amusing fellows who stand up to them!
**[17:38] Ichiro**
Huh?
**[17:39] Shiori**
The fire in my heart blazed up,
and before I knew it I was copying away!
**[17:44] Ichiro**
Uh, what's your grandmother doing now?
**[17:48] Shiori**
She passed away.
**[17:50] Ichiro**
Oh.
**[17:51] Shiori**
Mother was against me leaving the island,
**[17:54] Shiori**
but it was my grandmother who supported it.
**[17:58] Ichiro**
Then it must be hard for you
that I have to stick close,
**[18:03] Ichiro**
now that you've finally managed to leave home.
**[18:07] Shiori**
Just so you know, the reason
I'm looking into how to annul the pact
**[18:12] Shiori**
is not because I'm dissatisfied with you.
**[18:15] Shiori**
If I desire a genuine romance with you,
**[18:19] Shiori**
would I really have wanted it
to be based on an accident?
**[18:22] Shiori**
It's therefore important to me to be sincere
**[18:26] Shiori**
as we move forward with
proper marital relations.
**[18:29] Ichiro**
Well, it doesn't have to be
me if we annul the pact!
**[18:33] Ichiro**
We'll find someone else good for you!
**[18:43] Ichiro**
Sorry, I suddenly...
**[18:45] Ichiro**
I'll go wash my hands!
**[18:49] Ichiro**
*That was a surprise!*
**[18:52] Ichiro**
*You never know* what *she'll say.*
**[18:55] man 1**
Sure, I love manga.
**[18:55] man 2**
That's great!
**[18:57] Shiori**
Kuga-san.
**[19:00] Shiori**
These two said they wanted
to talk about manga.
**[19:03] Shiori**
This must be one of those
so-called offline gatherings!
**[19:06] Ichiro**
No, it's not!
**[19:08] man 1**
Hey, let's at least exchange contact info.
**[19:10] man 2**
What's your name?
**[19:11] Ichiro**
Let's go.
**[19:13] Shiori**
Ow!
**[19:16] Shiori**
Kuga-san, let go of my hand!
**[19:26] Shiori**
Kuga-san!
**[19:27] Ichiro**
Blood?
**[19:29] Shiori**
Are you all right?
**[19:30] Ichiro**
I am.
**[19:33] Ichiro**
Shall we go?
**[19:34] Shiori**
Yes.

**[19:38] Ichiro**
Uh, it's stopped and I'm fine now.
**[19:42] Ichiro**
Sorry to worry you.
**[19:45] Shiori**
Please don't apologize.
**[19:47] Shiori**
I was the cause of both the
sneeze and the nosebleed.
**[19:52] Ichiro**
Fevers aren't the only thing?
**[19:55] Shiori**
The retribution for unwelcome
**[19:58] Shiori**
forceful contact manifests as
a range of physical maladies.
**[20:02] Ichiro**
But it was to get you away
from those sketchy guys.
**[20:06] Ichiro**
I never meant to cause you harm.
**[20:10] Shiori**
I didn't understand that.
**[20:13] Shiori**
And because of that, I hurt you.
**[20:20] Shiori**
If I hadn't left the island,
this never would have happened.
**[20:25] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san!
**[20:27] Ichiro**
You had never even drawn
manga before, right?
**[20:31] Shiori**
Right.
**[20:33] Ichiro**
If you became that good in such a short time,
**[20:37] Ichiro**
you must have practiced a heck of a lot.
**[20:40] Ichiro**
You were able to work at it that
hard because you enjoy it, right?
**[20:44] Shiori**
Yes.
**[20:45] Ichiro**
Then don't say you wish you hadn't
done it because of someone else.
**[20:54] Shiori**
Why are you crying?
**[21:00] Ichiro**
I-I'm not crying!
**[21:02] Shiori**
But...
**[21:03] Shiori**
May I touch you, then?
**[21:14] Shiori**
See?
**[21:17] Ichiro**
*Oh, my sinuses cleared.*
**[21:19] Shiori**
Thank you for being considerate.
**[21:23] Ichiro**
I do... want you to find out
how to annul the engagement.
**[21:29] Shiori**
Right.
**[21:31] Ichiro**
But if you're going to live here,
I want to help you.
**[21:35] Ichiro**
I'll learn the rules of being with you.
**[21:38] Shiori**
O-Okay.
**[21:48] Machi**
Why are you embarrassed?
**[21:49] Shiori**
I've never worn pants before.
**[21:52] Machi**
You two must be getting along well,
though, if you went shopping together.
**[21:57] Chihiro**
They did?
**[21:59] Ichiro**
Stop that, Machi.
**[22:00] Shiori**
It's true!
**[22:01] Shiori**
I was glad when he said he
wanted to know more about me.
**[22:08] Shiori**
Maybe I should have kept that our secret?

I-Ichiro?!

**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us

**[00:07] protagonist A**
Darn it! There was nothing I could do!
**[00:10] protagonist A**
Am I not good enough?!
**[00:14] master**
You're not giving up, are you?!
**[00:18] protagonist A**
That voice!
**[00:20] master**
I don't recall raising anyone to
get discouraged after losing!
**[00:25] protagonist A**
N-No way!
**[00:27] protagonist A**
No, it can't be!
**[00:29] protagonist A**
I saw it happen with my own eyes!
**[00:32] master**
We've been apart for a while, but my
heart's been by your side all the time!

Master!

**[00:56] Shiori**
It's so good!
**[01:05] Ichiro**
Are you all right?
**[01:06] Shiori**
I am.
**[01:08] Shiori**
I was reading *Master of the Lion's Fist*
yesterday and it was so interesting,
**[01:12] Shiori**
I ended up binging fifteen volumes of it.
***SIGN*** Hiiragi Apartments
**[01:15] Ichiro**
Oh, you've already finished *Lion Fist?*
**[01:18] Shiori**
Yes.
**[01:19] Ichiro**
That one *is* good. Can't say I blame you.
**[01:23] Shiori**
When the master died in
volume one, it was a big shock.
**[01:26] protagonist A**
Master!
**[01:27] Shiori**
I really sympathized with the protagonist,
but then the master reappears in volume eight!
**[01:32] Shiori**
I couldn't stop myself from
restarting at volume one!

**[01:36] Ichiro**
That intense bond between the master
and the protagonist is really great.
**[01:42] Shiori**
Yes! No matter how far apart they get,
**[01:44] Shiori**
they're sure to meet again as long
as they keep caring for one another!
**[01:48] Shiori**
It gave me such inspiration and courage.
**[01:51] Ichiro**
Agreed.
***SIGN*** Hiiragi Apartments
**[01:53] Ichiro**
So, let's start figuring out
how distance works for us.
**[01:57] Shiori**
Ah, yes.
**[01:58] Ichiro**
It looks like retribution hits
me if I get too far from you,
**[02:03] Ichiro**
so let's use today to figure out
precisely how far apart is still safe.
**[02:08] Shiori**
Yes, let's test this together!

Looks like it started before I knew it
**[02:30] [SONG] OP**
Thanks to you, I'm all smiles

**[03:47] Ichiro**
I got a fever before when
we were two stations apart,
**[03:50] Ichiro**
so let's gauge things from
here to that station.
**[03:53] Shiori**
Okay. I'll be back, then.
**[04:07] Ichiro**
I wonder if she's on the train by now.
**[04:09] Ichiro**
At the moment, I'm fine—
**[04:17] Ichiro**
Did something happen?
**[04:19] Shiori**
The packed train made me too uncomfortable.
**[04:31] Ichiro**
Looks like your mental state
affects how I feel, too.
**[04:35] Shiori**
I'm sorry.
**[04:37] Ichiro**
Oh, don't worry!
**[04:38] Ichiro**
After five attempts without any real trouble,
**[04:41] Ichiro**
we know we're fine if we're
just one station apart.
**[04:46] Ichiro**
Shall we check on the other thing, now?
**[04:49] Shiori**
Yes, you mean "contact."
**[04:51] Shiori**
Last time, I was surprised
when you yanked on my arm.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Ichiro**
Let's go.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Shiori**
Ow!
**[04:59] Ichiro**
I'm sorry.
**[05:00] Shiori**
It's okay.
**[05:01] Shiori**
When it comes to things
I wouldn't want people to do...
**[05:04] Shiori**
Let's see what I can find in
*Master of the Lion's Fist*.
**[05:08] Ichiro**
*You're getting ideas from* that?**
**[05:10] Shiori**
This background character's
behavior isn't nice.
**[05:14] Ichiro**
Of course we can rule out
violence! Please switch genres!
**[05:18] Shiori**
Then we'll use my favorite from the '00s,
that huge shojo manga hit: *Prom!*
**[05:25] high school boy**
Guess who.
***SIGN*** Guess who.
**[05:26] school girl**
Eek!
***SIGN*** Eek!
**[05:27] Shiori**
The prank of sneaking up behind
someone and touching their face.
**[05:32] Ichiro**
The way you say it...
**[05:35] Ichiro**
But, we *could* do this one.
**[05:38] Shiori**
Well, then...
**[05:39] Shiori**
Go ahead.
**[05:43] Ichiro**
*Calm down, this is an* experiment!**
**[05:48] Ichiro**
P-Pardon me!
**[05:53] Ichiro**
*Her head's so small! And her hair so silky!*
**[06:00] Ichiro**
N-Nothing much happens.
**[06:02] Shiori**
I see.
**[06:05] Shiori**
Why are you sweating?
**[06:07] Ichiro**
It's because I'm nervous. I think.
**[06:10] Ichiro**
That makes sense.
**[06:13] Ichiro**
Things like this are bad.
**[06:16] Ichiro**
That, huh?
**[06:17] Shiori**
And please say the line!
**[06:18] Ichiro**
Right.
**[06:22] Ichiro**
W-Want to have some fun?
**[06:25] Ichiro**
*Silky! Smooth!*
**[06:32] Ichiro**
P-Please don't laugh!
**[06:34] Shiori**
I'm sorry.
**[06:36] Shiori**
It's just so amusing to me
when it's pre-arranged.
**[06:40] Shiori**
Let's continue. This has
been on my mind, too.
**[06:50] Shiori**
When someone else's face gets this close,
**[06:53] Shiori**
wouldn't I react strongly against
it even if it's pre-planned?
**[06:56] Ichiro**
Well, it *would* be intense to have
this actually done to you!
**[07:00] Shiori**
It's an experiment!
**[07:03] Ichiro**
*She's enjoying this, isn't she?*
**[07:07] Shiori**
Go ahead.
**[07:08] Ichiro**
All right.
**[07:10] Ichiro**
H-Here goes!
**[07:13] Shiori**
Okay.
**[07:25] Machi**
Ichiro, your phone was ringing!
**[07:39] Machi**
Making out here at home?
**[07:40] Machi**
Think of the children!
**[07:42] Ichiro**
That's not it!
**[07:43] Ichiro**
This is, um...
**[07:46] Shiori**
Machi-san, this isn't making out.
It's an experiment.
**[07:51] Machi**
An experiment?
**[07:53] Shiori**
I was having Kuga-san help me.
**[07:56] Shiori**
Thank you for going along with it.
**[07:58] Ichiro**
Oh, sure...
**[08:01] Machi**
Well, whatever.
**[08:02] Machi**
I did tell you about the phone!
**[08:07] Shiori**
Are you all right?
**[08:08] Ichiro**
Yeah, sorry.
**[08:12] Shiori**
What's the matter?
**[08:14] Ichiro**
I went beyond the peak of embarrassment.
**[08:20] Ichiro**
How about we stop for now
and get back to work?
**[08:25] Shiori**
Sure.
**[08:26] Ichiro**
As we explore like this, I hope you
think of more things you'd like to do.
**[08:32] Shiori**
Things I'd like to do...
**[08:34] Shiori**
There are so many, it's hard
to keep them straight.
**[08:37] Ichiro**
When think of them, why not
start by writing them down?
**[08:40] Ichiro**
It might help sort out your feelings.
**[08:47] Ichiro**
*It's Morikuni-san.*
**[08:48] Ichiro**
* Maybe it's about the plot and color*
* rough sketches I sent this morning.*
**[08:51] Ichiro**
Hello, Kuga speaking.
**[08:53] Morikuni**
* Kuga-kun, good work.*
* Those sketches were great.*
**[08:57] Ichiro**
Thank you.
**[08:59] Morikuni**
* I personally like A, but B would*
* work well in terms of composition.*
**[09:04] Ichiro**
Then I'll use the expressions from A.
**[09:06] Morikuni**
*Yes, please do.*
**[09:09] Morikuni**
*I've got a little something to discuss.*
**[09:11] Ichiro**
Yes?
**[09:16] Shiori**
Let's see...
**[09:18] Shiori**
Practicing with digital
manuscripts on a computer.
**[09:21] Shiori**
And looking into how that's done.
**[09:23] Shiori**
Working digitally sounds like fun.
**[09:27] Shiori**
If we can be one station apart, maybe I can
get another assistant gig in the neighborhood.
**[09:32] Shiori**
And it sure was fun shopping yesterday.
**[09:39] manga**
Alice and the
Knight of Thorns
**[09:40] (Flashback) Ichiro**
Reconsider upcoming developments?
**[09:42] (Flashback) Morikuni**
Yeah. Your art's been on fire
lately with all the combat scenes,
**[09:48] (Flashback) Morikuni**
but a lot of people are musing that it'd be
good to also focus on the primary love story.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Morikuni**
After all, emotion is important!
**[09:57] (Flashback) Ichiro**
I-I'll think about it.
**[09:59] Morikuni**
*Yeah, please do.*
**[10:01] Morikuni**
*Once you redo the plot, let's go over it.*
**[10:06] Ichiro**
*That means it's no good the way it is.*
**[10:19] Machi**
Uh oh, Ichiro's doing chores to avoid work!
**[10:23] Machi**
A-Are you okay?
**[10:26] Machi**
Want to touch Fumio's cheeks?
**[10:29] Ichiro**
Cheeks, huh?
**[10:34] Ichiro**
Squishy.
**[10:35] Fumio**
Squish, squish.
**[10:38] Machi**
*This is serious.*

Well... sort of. What's up?
**[11:13] Shiori**
I finished my list of things to accomplish!
**[11:17] Shiori**
I thought I'd start with introducing
myself to my new neighbors.
**[11:20] Shiori**
And sure enough, you're first.
**[11:23] Shiori**
Once again, thank you for all your help.
**[11:27] Shiori**
This is just a little something.
Feel free to choose one.
**[11:30] Ichiro**
Oh, thanks!
**[11:33] Ichiro**
Let's see, maybe I'll go with a towel.
**[11:36] Ichiro**
I'll cycle an old one into a rag.
**[11:38] Shiori**
Don't tell me you do all the
cleaning here by yourself?
**[11:41] Ichiro**
Oh, no.
**[11:43] Ichiro**
I do have a cleaning company come in.
**[11:46] Shiori**
Oh, that's a relief.
**[11:49] Ichiro**
Are you going around to the other residents, too?
**[11:51] Shiori**
Yes! See you when I'm done.
**[11:54] Ichiro**
They might not be here during the day!
**[12:03] Shiori**
Looks like everyone is out.
**[12:06] Ichiro**
You might be able to get away
with not worrying about it.
**[12:09] Ichiro**
It's common these days not to
greet neighbors when people move.
**[12:12] Shiori**
But I'm sure this is the way to treat
those who live under the same roof as me.
**[12:19] Ichiro**
I can't speak for other places, but the
people here don't go out of their way to mingle.
**[12:24] Shiori**
O-Oh, is that how it is.
**[12:29] Ichiro**
Then how about writing letters, and leaving
them with the gifts in the package boxes?
**[12:33] Shiori**
Letters?
**[12:35] Ichiro**
I think I'd be happy to receive a letter.
**[12:38] Shiori**
That's a good idea! Way to go, Kuga-san!
**[12:41] Ichiro**
Don't mention it.
**[12:43] Shiori**
Letters... That's exciting!
I'll work hard to make them nice.
**[12:47] Ichiro**
Yeah!
**[12:49] Ichiro**
By all means, give it a go.
**[12:55] Chihiro**
I'm home.
**[12:57] Shiori**
Chihiro-san, welcome back!

I apologize for not offering a

Oh, no problem. I'm Chihiro Ibusuki!

**[13:27] Chihiro**
Um, have you not gotten to the others?
**[13:29] Shiori**
No, none of them were home.
**[13:32] Shiori**
I wrote letters and was just about
to leave them in their package boxes.

**[13:52] Chihiro**
Minakami-san would likely
be happy with anything.
**[13:55] Shiori**
Maki-san seems picky about the things
he uses. So maybe not cleaner.

**[14:00] Shiori**
Oh! But that doesn't mean
you have to go that route!
**[14:04] Shiori**
We should be friends, if you'd like.
**[14:07] Chihiro**
A-All right!
**[14:09] Ichiro**
Oh, Chibi-chan's home.
**[14:12] Ichiro**
You met one of them on your own.
**[14:13] Shiori**
I did!
**[14:14] Chihiro**
She gave me some cleaner and a letter.
**[14:17] Shiori**
I have one for you too, Kuga-san.
**[14:19] Ichiro**
For me, too?
**[14:20] Shiori**
Of course.
**[14:23] Ichiro**
Th-Thanks!
**[14:25] Shiori**
No, thank *you*.
**[14:27] Shiori**
This wasn't the same as typical
new-neighbor greetings,
**[14:30] Shiori**
but it was plenty of fun in its own way.
**[14:33] Shiori**
I have you to thank.
**[14:44] Ichiro**
*She writes so politely.*
**[14:47] Ichiro**
*Her personality really comes through.*
**[14:51] Ichiro**
*"I wish for us to be friends"?*
**[14:54] Ichiro**
*"Don't hesitate to approach me"?*
**[14:56] Ichiro**
*That sounds a bit risky!*

**[15:58] Ichiro**
It's no use! I don't have *any* ideas!
**[16:02] (Flashback) Morikuni**
After all, emotion is important!
**[16:09] Shiori**
He seems very worried.
**[16:12] Machi**
Yeah. He said he had to redo the... plot?
**[16:18] Shiori**
The plot.
**[16:20] Shiori**
* Maybe it will cheer him up*
* if I can help somehow.*
**[16:28] Machi**
She's here!
**[16:31] Momoka**
Hi! Here I am.
**[16:33] Machi**
Welcome, Moka-nee! You weren't busy?
**[16:36] Momoka**
I had just finished working and was baking.
**[16:39] Momoka**
The usual apple pie.
**[16:41] Machi**
Yay!
**[16:42] Momoka**
Are you a new resident?
**[16:44] Shiori**
Yes. My name is Shiori Goshiki.
**[16:48] Momoka**
I used to live here, too.
**[16:50] Momoka**
My name's Momoka Morikuni.
**[16:54] Ichiro**
Moka-nee? What brings you here?
**[16:57] Momoka**
I brought a pie. Let's have some tea.
**[17:07] Shiori**
*It's good.*
**[17:09] Machi**
Moka-nee is Ichiro's childhood friend!
**[17:12] Machi**
And now she's married
to his editor, Morikuni!
**[17:17] Ichiro**
We still call her "Moka-nee" out of habit.
**[17:20] Ichiro**
Moka-nee, Goshiki-san is
working as my assistant.
**[17:24] Momoka**
Oh, yeah? I draw manga, too!
**[17:26] Shiori**
Oh, my! Really?
**[17:28] Ichiro**
She created *Master of the Lion's Fist*.
**[17:31] Ichiro**
She's Beefcake-sensei.
**[17:33] Momoka**
Have you read it?
**[17:37] Shiori**
I-I did read it! It was highly entertaining!
**[17:40] Momoka**
Thanks.
**[17:42] Shiori**
Oh, wow!
**[17:44] Shiori**
Uh, I really like the master,
and I ended up crying at that one part!
**[17:49] Shiori**
I-I know! Could I ask you for an autograph?!
**[17:53] Momoka**
Sure thing.
**[17:54] Shiori**
Wow! Wow!
**[17:57] Ichiro**
Good for you, Goshiki-san.
**[17:59] Momoka**
What kind of manga are you drawing?
**[18:01] Ichiro**
*Oh, yeah. I haven't heard, either.*
**[18:04] Shiori**
I-I've started out with copying and
studying art. I have yet to write a story.
**[18:10] Ichiro**
She said it's only been a year since
she started reading manga or drawing.
**[18:15] Momoka**
Is that so! Then you still
have so much potential.
**[18:19] Momoka**
I envy that. Good luck!
**[18:21] Shiori**
A-Are you taking on new assistants?
**[18:25] Momoka**
Assistants? I have enough at the moment.
**[18:28] Momoka**
But maybe you could help
out as a guest sometimes.
**[18:30] Momoka**
Are you good at working digitally?
**[18:32] Shiori**
I don't have any experience with that yet.
**[18:36] Momoka**
I see. Last year I got married
and went full digital,
**[18:40] Momoka**
so all my assistants ask to work from home.
**[18:43] Shiori**
Oh, all right.
**[18:46] Momoka**
I have a tablet I'm not using. You want it?
**[18:49] Momoka**
It's old, but it might do for practice.
**[18:52] Shiori**
Wh-Why would you do me such a favor?
**[18:54] Momoka**
I love manga, and I want the
world to be more full of it!
**[18:59] Shiori**
Thank you!
**[19:00] Ichiro**
That's good. I don't know much about digital,
so I wasn't sure what to do.
**[19:05] Momoka**
Do you still feel bad about
losing my data that one time?
**[19:09] Momoka**
I keep telling you, I still had the line
drawings, and it didn't make me late.
**[19:13] Shiori**
Kuga-san, you used to be
Beefcake-sensei's assistant?
**[19:17] Ichiro**
Yeah, just for a bit.
**[19:19] Machi**
It's Moka-nee who taught
him all about manga!
**[19:24] Shiori**
That makes sense.
***SIGN*** Hiiragi Apartments
**[19:28] Ichiro**
Thanks for everything.
**[19:29] Momoka**
Did this help distract him?
**[19:32] Momoka**
Machi messaged me that I should come over
because her brother was down in the dumps.
**[19:35] Machi**
That's a secret!
**[19:37] Ichiro**
Yeah, I feel better.
**[19:39] Momoka**
Cool, I'll drop by again sometime.
**[19:42] Momoka**
See you later.
**[19:44] Shiori**
Thank you so much for
today, Beefcake-sensei.
**[19:48] Momoka**
Don't mention it! And you don't
have to use my pen name.
**[19:51] Shiori**
Um, Moka-san... Momoka-san...
**[19:55] Shiori**
Momo-Tea!
**[19:57] Momoka**
You're sharp!
**[19:58] Momoka**
Ichiro-kun was stressing over his shojo
manga pen name, so I gave him my name.

Cut that out.

See you!

Bye.

Bye-bye.

* Moka-nee always has the best*

**[20:25] Ichiro**
* I don't have any confidence,*
* and I can't be like her...*
**[20:30] Ichiro**
...but this is where it counts.
I'll make it entertaining, or else!
**[20:35] Ichiro**
*Huh?*
**[20:36] Ichiro**
Th-This feeling... *Uh oh!*
**[20:41] Shiori**
Yes?
**[20:42] Ichiro**
Uh, it's me.
**[20:44] Ichiro**
So, hopefully it's my imagination,
but are you feeling bad?
**[20:56] Shiori**
Momoka-san is a good person.
**[20:59] Ichiro**
That's true.
**[21:00] Ichiro**
Is this about her?
**[21:02] Shiori**
When it occurred to me that she
must hold a special place for you,
**[21:09] Shiori**
I felt a sense of gloom in my heart.
**[21:12] Ichiro**
Well, I owe her a lot.
**[21:14] Ichiro**
But she's married. There's no
need for weird suspicions.
**[21:18] Shiori**
But I won't calm down unless
I find out what this gloom is!
**[21:24] Shiori**
Am I unhappy with your relationship?
**[21:26] Shiori**
Why? You're both good-natured.
I have no reason to dislike her.
**[21:32] Shiori**
Am I... jealous?
**[21:37] Shiori**
Love?
**[21:41] Shiori**
Kuga-san, I'm in... love with you.
**[21:50] Ichiro**
G-Goshiki-san! Uh...
**[21:53] Shiori**
Wait!
**[21:54] Shiori**
For tonight I want to savor
this wonderful feeling!
**[21:58] Shiori**
Please don't say anything. Good night!
**[22:05] Shiori**
This is love!

No, wait! I need to calm down!

**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond

**[00:42] Machi**
How about the zoo today?
**[00:44] Machi**
Can we go?
**[00:47] Ichiro**
Yeah, let's go! I did promise you.

Okay! Great!

You know, Fumio?
**[01:19] Ichiro**
M-Machi...
**[01:24] Machi**
It's fine. We'll go another time.
**[01:28] Ichiro**
You sure? We could at least go eat.
**[01:31] Machi**
No, I'll play with Fumio.
**[01:33] Machi**
You can feel free to work, Ichiro.
**[01:37] Ichiro**
W-Want to at least bake something
together this afternoon?
**[01:40] Machi**
Sure.
**[01:53] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[01:55] Ichiro**
I'll hurry and finish up with work!
**[01:58] Ichiro**
Let's see...

A scene where the heroine goes to

**[02:07] (Flashback) Ichiro**
Reconsider upcoming developments?
**[02:10] (Flashback) Morikuni**
Yeah. Your art's been on fire
lately with all the combat scenes,
**[02:15] (Flashback) Morikuni**
but a lot of people are musing that it'd be
good to also focus on the primary love story.
**[02:21] (Flashback) Morikuni**
After all!
**[02:23] (Flashback) Morikuni**
Emotion is important!
**[02:25] Ichiro**
More and more emotion.
**[02:27] Ichiro**
I thought way too much
about emotion yesterday.
**[02:37] Ichiro**
Almost to the point of emotional collapse.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'm in love with you.
**[02:45] Ichiro**
No, no, no! She got all
carried away, not me!
**[02:51] Ichiro**
And nothing else has happened since.
**[02:53] Ichiro**
I know, maybe it's that instinct to
bond with the first thing you see!
**[02:59] Shiori chick**
Cheep!
**[03:04] Ichiro**
Stop getting carried away, Ichiro!
**[03:08] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'm...

**[04:57] Shiori**
I thought I could go to the library to
look for materials, but it's raining.
**[05:04] Shiori**
I want more assistant gigs,
**[05:06] Shiori**
but if I'm going to work from here,
that requires going digital.
**[05:14] Shiori**
I might as well study up
until I can get that tablet.
**[05:31] Shiori**
I did it again without even thinking!
**[05:39] Shiori**
It's... This is...
**[05:46] Shiori**
*This is love!*
**[05:49] Shiori**
Of course.
**[05:50] Shiori**
That time I couldn't resist encouraging
Kuga-san was because I was being drawn to him.
**[06:00] Shiori**
A date?!
**[06:01] Shiori**
That was a shopping and
shrine date, wasn't it?!
**[06:08] Shiori**
That stuff, too! I could
have savored it more!
**[06:14] (Flashback) Shiori**
Developing a relationship from
friendship is lovely, too.
**[06:18] (Flashback) Shiori**
I suppose you could say I'm your fan?
**[06:27] Shiori**
How did I say those things
with a straight face?
**[06:34] Shiori**
* Then again, I already went*
* and told him how I feel.*
**[06:38] Shiori**
* So much for my beloved pattern of neither*
* side knowing the other loves them,*
**[06:44] Shiori**
* and building up a relationship*
* over ten volumes.*
**[06:48] Shiori**
*What am I supposed to do from here?!*
**[06:52] Shiori**
*O god of shojo manga! Please save me!*
**[06:58] Shiori**
*Besides...*
**[07:04] Shiori**
*I've already stung Kuga-san.*
**[07:11] Shiori**
*How am I supposed to act around him?*
**[07:27] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[07:28] Ichiro**
G-G-Good morning.
**[07:31] Shiori**
Those two don't seem too happy.
**[07:39] Ichiro**
Yeah, the rain kept us
from going to the zoo.
**[07:43] Ichiro**
Machi in particular was going on
about wanting to see a baby giraffe.
**[07:48] Shiori**
That is unfortunate.
**[07:53] Shiori**
Well, I canceled plans to go to the library
due to the rain, and I have some time.
**[08:01] Shiori**
I wonder if I should say something to them.
**[08:04] Ichiro**
You mean like... play with them?
**[08:08] Shiori**
Yes, I'm hoping we could all enjoy that.
**[08:14] Ichiro**
Honestly, that'd be a big help.
**[08:17] Ichiro**
Oh, and I'll join in as soon as I can.
**[08:21] Shiori**
I'm on it.
**[08:24] Shiori**
May this day end up being a
lovely day for all of us.
**[08:29] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[08:30] Ichiro**
Okay, I'll leave them to you.
**[08:33] Shiori**
Right.
**[08:41] Ichiro**
* I-Is it going to be like*
* yesterday never happened?*
**[08:48] Shiori**
* I ended up acting like*
* nothing ever happened!*
**[08:51] Shiori**
*It's... It's hard to look him in the eye!*
**[08:56] Shiori**
No, I need to devote myself
fully to those two right now.
**[09:04] Shiori**
Good morning, Machi-san, Fumio-san.
**[09:08] Machi**
Oh, Goshiki-san. Good morning.
**[09:11] Fumio**
Morning.
**[09:13] Shiori**
What's that?
**[09:15] Machi**
These?
**[09:16] Machi**
"Machi-rot" cards.
**[09:17] Machi**
They're original fortune-telling
cards Ichiro made for me way back.
**[09:21] Shiori**
Wow, lovely!
**[09:23] Shiori**
Machi-san, could you tell me my fortune?
**[09:27] Machi**
I guess.
**[09:30] Ichiro**
* Lose the combat scene and draw some solid*
* interaction between Alice and Mimi.*
**[09:37] Ichiro**
* There, they ought to find*
* this touching. I hope.*
**[09:40] Ichiro**
*Okay, that'll do for now.*
**[09:43] Ichiro**
Hey, I'm finally done!
**[09:50] Ichiro**
What's the matter?
**[09:53] Shiori**
Kuga-san...
**[09:54] Shiori**
Well, I tried to have
her tell me my fortune...
**[10:02] (Flashback) Machi**
Pick a card.
**[10:03] (Flashback) Shiori**
Okay.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Shiori**
I choose this one.
**[10:18] Shiori**
But I ruined a card.
**[10:24] Machi**
No, no!
**[10:26] Machi**
It was already worn out
and held together with tape!
**[10:29] Machi**
That's why I told her she doesn't
need to worry about it.
**[10:36] Ichiro**
Oh, the ones I made when
you were in kindergarten.
**[10:41] Ichiro**
I'll remake them, then. I'm done with work.
**[10:46] Machi**
You don't have to.
**[10:49] Ichiro**
Would you rather they be more traditional?
**[10:52] Machi**
No, not really.
**[10:55] Machi**
I liked the ones you did.
**[10:58] Machi**
You really don't need to worry about it.
**[11:00] Machi**
If you were to redo them, I'd want
to see the source materials.
**[11:03] Machi**
You know, something like
my favorite fortune-teller's book.
**[11:08] Machi**
So, it can wait until the weather's nicer.
**[11:11] Shiori**
Machi-san, who's your
favorite fortune-teller?

Fruit Migahara-sensei.
**[11:18] Shiori**
Then I will go pick up a copy.
**[11:21] Machi**
Like I said, it doesn't have to be today.
**[11:25] Ichiro**
Plus it's raining heavily.
**[11:27] Shiori**
I was originally planning to
go to the library anyway.
**[11:30] Shiori**
Pay it no mind.
**[11:33] Shiori**
I'd rather see your new creation
than wait for a sunny day.
**[11:42] Shiori**
See you later!
**[11:46] Machi**
Wh-Why?
**[11:48] Machi**
Why'd she end up going?!
**[11:49] Ichiro**
I'm not sure, either.
**[11:51] Ichiro**
But she was saying she wanted to
make the day lovely for you two.
**[11:56] Machi**
Goshiki-san!
**[11:58] Machi**
Fine, then! Might as well
get out the drawing paper!
**[12:10] Ichiro**
*The library's beyond the station.*
**[12:12] Ichiro**
* I don't think she's lost, but maybe*
* I should have gone with her.*
**[12:18] Machi**
Ichiro, go check on her if you're worried.
**[12:23] Ichiro**
Yeah, sorry. Look after Fumio.
**[12:26] Machi**
You got it!
**[12:39] Ichiro**
* I wonder if Goshiki-san and*
* the book are all right.*
**[12:47] Shiori**
Kuga-san? What made you
come out in the rain?
**[12:51] Ichiro**
I could ask you the same thing.
**[12:53] Ichiro**
Are you okay? I bet you're totally soaked.
**[12:57] Shiori**
No, the books are dry.
**[12:59] Shiori**
I borrowed Migahara-sensei's new release,
and several books with tarot designs.
**[13:05] Ichiro**
I'll carry them.
**[13:06] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[13:08] Ichiro**
Were you able to borrow your own?
**[13:10] Shiori**
Huh?
**[13:11] Ichiro**
I mean, you said you were
originally going anyway.
**[13:15] Ichiro**
Wasn't there a book you wanted to borrow?
**[13:19] Shiori**
I totally forgot.
**[13:21] Ichiro**
You forgot?
**[13:23] Shiori**
Th-This kind of thing seldom... well...
**[13:27] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san?
**[13:29] Shiori**
No, maybe I've always been
an absentminded person.
**[13:36] Shiori**
Did I say something amusing?
**[13:39] Ichiro**
It's just, the word "absentminded"...
**[13:44] Ichiro**
Sorry.
**[13:45] Ichiro**
I see. Absentminded, eh?
**[13:51] Ichiro**
Thank you.
**[13:53] Ichiro**
Shall we go?
**[13:54] Shiori**
Yes.

Hey, can you draw this card?
**[14:10] Machi**
With a cat picture!
**[14:11] Ichiro**
You know it!
**[14:12] Ichiro**
The thing about your brother? He can draw!
**[14:15] Machi**
Yeah!
**[14:17] Machi**
He's manga man!
**[14:19] Fumio**
Man.
**[14:26] Ichiro**
* But you know, I really do*
* like this sort of thing.*
**[14:33] Ichiro**
If you watch too closely, I get nervous.
**[14:36] Machi**
What's the harm?
**[14:40] Machi**
I like watching you draw.
**[14:44] Fumio**
I like.
**[14:45] Shiori**
Your small characters are
lovely too, Kuga-san.
**[14:49] Ichiro**
Thanks.
**[14:50] Ichiro**
I'd like it if you could
draw the card borders.
**[14:53] Machi**
Yeah, draw them!
**[14:55] Shiori**
A-All right.
**[14:58] Shiori**
They're one of a kind. That's high pressure.
**[15:13] Ichiro**
Done.
**[15:16] Ichiro**
What do you think?
**[15:24] Machi**
Thank you.
**[15:28] Ichiro**
Look at you, all bashful.
**[15:29] Machi**
So, want your fortune told?
**[15:31] Machi**
You too, Goshiki-san.
**[15:33] Machi**
Huh? Where is she?
**[15:40] Shiori**
Now that we've come this far,
let's go all out.
**[15:46] Shiori**
I'm borrowing some clothes racks.
**[15:53] Shiori**
Just do this, and...
**[15:55] Ichiro**
That does set the stage!
**[15:58] Shiori**
And also...
**[16:04] Shiori**
There, how's that?
**[16:08] Ichiro**
I like it!
**[16:11] Shiori**
I'd like to get it even more authentic.
**[16:13] Ichiro**
Definitely.
**[16:14] Honami**
*What're they doing?*
**[16:21] Ichiro**
That's cute! Like the real thing!
**[16:24] Machi**
Stop it! It's embarrassing!
**[16:27] Shiori**
You could do this for
real someday, Machi-san.
**[16:30] Machi**
No, fortune-telling's just a hobby!
**[16:33] Machi**
I'll have a steadier job when I grow up.
**[16:36] Ichiro**
Isn't a fortune-teller what
you want to be, Machi?
**[16:40] Machi**
Well, I mean, you said you were going
to be sure to send us to college.
**[16:47] Ichiro**
How'd you know...
**[16:49] Ichiro**
Well, that was assuming
you say you want to go.
**[16:54] Ichiro**
You can choose anything,
if it's what you really want to do.
**[16:57] Ichiro**
I'll always have your back.
**[17:04] Machi**
Thank you.
**[17:06] Ichiro**
Of course, you'd be naïve to think you
don't need to study to become a fortune-teller.
**[17:11] Machi**
Right.
**[17:22] Machi**
Fumio! You want your fortune told?
**[17:26] Machi**
Come on up! I'll do it!
**[17:28] Machi**
Sit here.
**[17:31] Machi**
This is great! A planetarium,
in place of a crystal ball!
**[17:35] Machi**
We brought it out of storage.
**[17:37] Ichiro**
Um, thank you. For everything.
**[17:40] Shiori**
Sure. It's beautiful when
an idea takes shape.
**[17:45] Shiori**
I'm glad I left the island.
**[17:50] Ichiro**
Why don't you start by
just drawing whatever?
**[17:54] Ichiro**
You want to make manga, right?
**[17:57] Ichiro**
I think it's fine if a princess
becomes a manga artist.
**[18:03] Shiori**
It is!

Kuga-san?
**[19:00] Ichiro**
G-Goshiki-san!
**[19:02] Shiori**
If you're cleaning up, I'll help.
**[19:05] Ichiro**
No, I'll have Machi and Fumio
pitch in with that tomorrow.
**[19:12] Shiori**
Um, about yesterday...
**[19:15] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'm in love with you.
**[19:19] Shiori**
I...
**[19:20] Ichiro**
Wait a minute!
**[19:24] Ichiro**
Let's see, well...
**[19:28] Ichiro**
I've been thinking, I'd better
do this the right way, too.
**[19:32] Ichiro**
I was happy for the sentiment.
**[19:36] Ichiro**
But right now, it's hard to see myself
in a relationship or married.
**[19:43] Ichiro**
Machi and Fumio are my only family.
I want to make them my priority.
**[19:48] Ichiro**
And I really don't like the thought of
a union that's been decided for me.
**[19:54] Ichiro**
As planned, I'd still like to
annul my engagement to you.
**[20:00] Ichiro**
Like you said before, I think that
would be best for both of us.
**[20:10] Shiori**
K-Kuga-san!
**[20:11] Shiori**
That's enough already!
**[20:14] Ichiro**
No...
**[20:16] Ichiro**
I need to be honest with you, too.
**[20:20] Shiori**
But if you reject me any further,
it will have negative effects on you!
**[20:29] Shiori**
I'm sure you can fool me, so that there'll
be no retribution from the pact.
**[20:35] Shiori**
I realize there are times when
honesty isn't considered a virtue!
**[20:41] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, I'm really not...
not good at this kind of thing.
**[20:48] Ichiro**
The idea of "first love"
at my age seems iffy,
**[20:51] Ichiro**
and I get a sense that I'm lacking
when it comes to emotional content.
**[20:55] Ichiro**
My dream job isn't stable.
**[20:58] Ichiro**
And I don't want more responsibility
or to be a burden on anyone!
**[21:02] Shiori**
Kuga-san! Kuga-san!
**[21:04] Shiori**
Don't keep going!
**[21:06] Ichiro**
But now I've fallen in love with you!
**[21:19] Ichiro**
Would you like to go out with me?
**[21:28] Shiori**
B-By that, do you mean the two of us dating?
**[21:33] Ichiro**
Th-That's the one.
**[21:41] Shiori**
Gladly!
**[21:43] Ichiro**
*It's like we're at a bar.*
**[21:46] Ichiro**
I just wanted you to know how I feel.
**[21:49] Ichiro**
We'll figure out the rest... as we go.
**[21:53] Shiori**
As we go!
**[21:54] Shiori**
The rest?
**[22:01] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san?! Are you all right?!
**[22:04] Shiori**
M-My heart's so full it's about to stop.
**[22:09] Ichiro**
Don't let that happen!
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching
into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having
to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond
that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've
come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and
the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night

**[23:47] Chihiro**
Machi-chan, what's your favorite animal?
**[23:49] Machi**
The giraffe!
**[23:50] Chihiro**
And you, Fumio-kun?
**[23:51] Fumio**
The panda. What's yours, Chibi-chan?
**[23:53] Chihiro**
Huh? Ichi...

I'll go!

Okay!
**[01:54] Machi**
Then make your own lunch.
**[01:57] Machi**
Put whatever you like on a sandwich.

Ham, ham, cheese.

**[10:37] Ichiro**
Th-This means...!
**[10:39] Machi**
That's great!
**[10:42] Machi**
Your first girlfriend?
**[10:44] Machi**
And it's Goshiki-san?! Yay!
**[10:50] Ichiro**
W-We won't go overboard while we're working,
**[10:53] Ichiro**
or when we're at the apartment house!
**[10:56] Ichiro**
Right, Goshiki-san?
**[10:58] Shiori**
That's right! Holding hands?
That'd be ridiculous!
**[11:02] Machi**
You could at least hold hands.
**[11:04] Machi**
Even grade schoolers do that.
**[11:06] Shiori**
B-But...
**[11:09] Machi**
If this is a date, were we in the way?
**[11:13] Ichiro/Shiori**
You're not in the way!
**[11:17] Ichiro**
You're absolutely not in the way.
**[11:20] Machi**
You don't need to look so serious.
**[11:24] Shiori**
You could even say *I'm* in
the way of a family event.
**[11:28] Machi**
No, you're not! I invited you, didn't I?!
**[11:31] Ichiro**
Both of you!
**[11:37] Shiori**
Machi-san, Fumio-san.
**[11:39] Shiori**
Kuga-san told me that you two
are the most important to him.
**[11:47] Shiori**
Would you let me have some of his time, too?
**[11:54] Machi**
Wh-What a question to ask!
**[11:57] Fumio**
Sure.
**[12:00] Fumio**
That's fine.
**[12:11] Ichiro**
Well...
**[12:13] Ichiro**
Machi.
**[12:15] Ichiro**
Fumio.
**[12:18] Ichiro**
And Goshiki-san.
**[12:20] Ichiro**
I'll treasure all of you.
**[12:23] Ichiro**
I promise.
**[12:25] Machi**
Look, you don't have to
get so serious about it.
**[12:35] Machi**
We already knew that.
**[12:37] Fumio**
Knew that.
**[12:42] Machi**
Come on, Fumio.
**[12:45] Machi**
Let's go! It's panda time!
**[12:48] Fumio**
Sure.
**[12:50] Ichiro**
Okay, let's go!
**[12:55] Machi**
Say...
**[12:58] Machi**
Goshiki-san, what is it
you like about Ichiro?
**[13:02] Shiori**
Well, it's hard to sum up.
**[13:06] Ichiro**
Machi, don't pester her!
**[13:08] Machi**
Shoot, he overheard me.
**[13:20] Shiori**
*What is it Kuga-san likes about* me?**
**[13:29] sign**
Kaminoi Zoo
**[13:51] Machi**
Oh, feeding time's gonna start!
**[14:02] Shiori**
I've never seen giraffes before!
**[14:04] Shiori**
They're so adorable!
**[14:06] Ichiro**
That they are!
**[14:08] Machi**
It's my first time seeing a young one!
**[14:16] Machi**
Such long lashes.
**[14:19] Machi**
Did you see the tongues?
**[14:21] Machi**
They're totally purple.
**[14:23] Ichiro**
*They're going to hold still for a while.*
**[14:32] Ichiro**
H-Hey...
**[14:36] Ichiro**
So, what you said earlier...
**[14:39] Ichiro**
It made me happy.
**[14:42] Ichiro**
Thank you.
**[14:44] Shiori**
I was happy, too.
**[14:46] Shiori**
That the two of them accepted us.
**[14:50] Shiori**
And for your promise.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Ichiro**
Machi, Fumio, and Goshiki-san.
I'll treasure all of you. I promise.
**[15:05] Shiori**
Kuga-san!
**[15:06] Ichiro**
Yes?!
**[15:08] Shiori**
Would you hold hands with me?
**[15:12] Shiori**
I suspect if we could do that while watching
the giraffes, it would be the best feeling ever!
**[15:19] Ichiro**
*I was thinking the same thing.*
**[16:02] Machi**
They're holding hands!
**[16:09] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, are you okay?!
**[16:10] Machi**
Wh-What's wrong?!
**[16:12] Fumio**
What's wrong?
**[16:15] Shiori**
Nothing, it just occurred
to me that I'm truly happy.
**[16:19] Ichiro**
Oh, okay.
**[16:21] Shiori**
Right!
**[16:22] Machi**
I'm happy, too!
**[16:24] Fumio**
Happy.
**[16:43] Takeru**
Well? Have you heard anything from Shiori?
**[16:47] Miyako**
No.
**[16:49] Takeru**
Oh.
**[16:50] Miyako**
Komaki.
**[16:51] Keigo**
Yes, ma'am.
**[16:52] Miyako**
Makado.
**[16:53] Momiji**
Yes, ma'am.
**[16:54] Miyako**
Has any word reached you?
**[16:56] Keigo**
No, ma'am.
**[16:57] Momiji**
Nothing, ma'am.
**[16:59] Miyako**
I see.
**[17:04] Keigo**
I wonder if the princess is doing well.
**[17:07] Keigo**
I haven't heard her voice at all lately.
**[17:10] Momiji**
I'm sure it's a matter of distance.
**[17:13] Momiji**
She's too far away to connect.
**[17:16] Keigo**
But...
**[17:17] Takeru**
Well, they say "No news is good news."
**[17:22] Takeru**
I'm sure Shiori's doing quite well.
**[17:25] Momiji**
I think so, too.
**[17:27] Miyako**
Doing well?
**[17:29] Miyako**
She's probably just wandering
around aimlessly.
**[17:33] Takeru**
Miyako...
**[17:36] Miyako**
And making us worry so.
**[17:42] Miyako**
Both of you, if you hear anything from Shiori,
do not hesitate to inform us.
**[17:50] Keigo**
Understood.
**[18:02] Machi**
We're home!
**[18:04] Fumio**
Home.
**[18:07] Machi**
That was so much fun!
**[18:16] Ichiro**
That took all my energy...
**[18:20] Ichiro**
*It's blank! Reality calls!*
**[18:28] Ichiro**
*I might as well wash out the lunch box.*
**[18:32] Ichiro**
* Machi, this is not me procrastinating*
* with chores. It must be done.*
**[18:41] Shiori**
As for Kuga-san...
**[18:43] Shiori**
What?! What is it about me he's fallen for?!
**[18:50] Shiori**
You know, I haven't had him tell
me specifically. It bothers me!
**[18:58] Shiori**
I know.
**[19:00] Shiori**
I'll go ask him!
**[19:03] Shiori**
Kuga-san.
**[19:08] Shiori**
Is he not in?
**[19:17] Chihiro**
What's going on?
**[19:18] Shiori**
Oh, n-nothing!
**[19:21] Shiori**
H-How about you, Chihiro-san?
**[19:24] Chihiro**
I was going to brew some tea.
**[19:26] Shiori**
T-Tea?
**[19:28] Shiori**
That sounds lovely.
**[19:32] Chihiro**
Did you need something from Ichiro-kun?
**[19:34] Shiori**
Sort of. I need to check something.
**[19:38] Chihiro**
Check? For work?
**[19:42] Shiori**
W-Well... I'm not sure I'd call it work.
**[19:48] Chihiro**
Um... Are you and Ichiro-kun...
**[19:54] Shiori**
Y-Yes?
**[19:58] Chihiro**
No, never mind!
**[20:01] Chihiro**
If you need Ichiro-kun,
he's in the dining room!
**[20:08] Shiori**
Sh-She startled me.
**[20:14] Shiori**
Oh, look where he fell asleep.
**[20:20] Shiori**
The back of his neck is nice,
like a giraffe's.
**[20:34] Shiori**
*No!*
**[20:36] (Flashback) Shiori**
I never thought you were the type to touch
someone's body while they're asleep!
**[20:42] Shiori**
*I nearly did it without thinking!*
**[20:45] Shiori**
* Huh? But we're dating now,*
* so it's different, right?*
**[20:50] Shiori**
*No, we haven't reached that point yet.*
**[20:58] Shiori**
K-Kuga-san, would you mind waking up?
**[21:03] Ichiro**
Oh, sorry.
**[21:06] Ichiro**
I fell asleep for a moment.
**[21:07] Shiori**
There's nothing wrong with you sleeping.
**[21:10] Shiori**
But I do think you should do it in bed.
**[21:14] Shiori**
Um, listen.
**[21:17] Shiori**
Is it all right if I touch the
back of your neck for a bit?
**[21:21] Ichiro**
Sure, go ahead.
**[21:25] Shiori**
Thank you!
**[21:31] Ichiro**
Hey...
**[21:33] Ichiro**
You don't have to ask just for that.
**[21:35] Shiori**
Well, yes, but...
**[21:38] Shiori**
Even if it's less than perfect, I figured I owe
someone important to me full disclosure.
**[21:48] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[21:53] Ichiro**
*I-I can't move.*
**[22:07] Shiori**
I forgot to ask!
**[22:09] Shiori**
What is it Kuga-san likes about me?!
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:45] Machi**
Ichiro really is a poor talker.
**[23:48] Fumio**
Yeah.
**[23:49] Machi**
He's nice and thoughtful enough,
but he has trouble expressing it.
**[23:53] Fumio**
I like him, though.
**[23:55] Machi**
Me, too!
**[23:55] Machi**
I wonder if Goshiki-san gets how he feels.

**[03:16] Ichiro**
Did something happen?
**[03:18] Shiori**
The other day, I stopped by two
places to try out as an assistant.
**[03:24] Ichiro**
Right, you did mention that.
**[03:27] Shiori**
And earlier, I received this
email from the first artist.
***SIGN*** To Shiori Goshiki-sama
***SIGN*** It was very helpful that
you were so diligent as
an assistant by
complying with my
sudden request for help.
***SIGN*** I apologize, but I think
having you continue
here would be difficult
due to design-related
discrepancies.
However, I do think
you could do work
for other artists.
**[03:34] Ichiro**
D-Design-related discrepancies, huh?
**[03:38] Shiori**
I did think my pen technique was weak, and that
I wouldn't have contributed much right away.
**[03:46] Shiori**
But there aren't many local
artists who haven't gone digital,
**[03:50] Shiori**
and I would have welcomed the
chance to get regular work.
**[03:53] Ichiro**
This happens a lot.
There's no need to worry about it so much.
**[03:57] Ichiro**
What about the other place?
**[03:59] Shiori**
I haven't heard back yet.
**[04:02] Shiori**
Honestly, I suspect it'll be hard
to become a regular there, too.
**[04:05] Ichiro**
Wh-Why?
**[04:07] Shiori**
There's the technical aspect,
and it may be the case that...
**[04:12] (Flashback) Shiori**
It's nice to meet you.
**[04:14] (Flashback) Shiori**
I am Shiori Goshiki,
and I hope to be your assistant.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Shiori**
Here's hoping things go well today.
**[04:22] Sano**
*An upper-class lady persona?*
**[04:24] (Flashback) Sano**
I'm Sano. Nice to meet you.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Sano**
It's a digital/analog hybrid, and I'd
have you draw backgrounds by hand.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Sano**
Then someone else would
do the finishing touches.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Shiori**
Just leave it to me!
**[04:38] (Flashback) Shiori**
I've already practiced
plenty with your work.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Sano**
Oh... cool.
**[04:43] Shiori**
* I wasn't able to fully help out at that last*
* assistant gig, so I've got to try hard today!*
**[04:51] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'm done!
**[04:53] (Flashback) Sano**
Hey, good work. The small
bits are drawn well, too.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Shiori**
Thank you!
**[04:59] (Flashback) Shiori**
I studied up.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Shiori**
Ah, you actually have read it!
**[05:03] (Flashback) Shiori**
Yes, it was very interesting.
**[05:06] (Flashback) Shiori**
I've become a fan.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Sano**
For real?!
**[05:08] (Flashback) Shiori**
Yes.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Sano**
E-Even though there are heaps of
magical girl stories out there.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Shiori**
Heaps?
**[05:17] (Flashback) Sano**
You know, like the definitive classic
*Magical Girl-Thing From Another World*,
**[05:22] (Flashback) Sano**
or the recent *Mystic Knight Cappuccino*.
**[05:26] (Flashback) Shiori**
Sorry, I'm under-informed.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Shiori**
It's only been about a year since
I've started reading or drawing manga.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Sano**
Oh, okay.
**[05:37] Sano**
*You're still new to it?*
**[05:40] (Flashback) Sano**
Was your family strict?
**[05:42] (Flashback) Sano**
Oh, are you a *real* upper-class lady?
**[05:46] (Flashback) Shiori**
A real...
**[05:47] (Flashback) Shiori**
No, in my family, I'm a princess.
**[05:53] (Flashback) Sano**
A princess?
**[05:55] Shiori**
* Maybe I should keep the*
* princess thing secret.*
**[05:59] (Flashback) Shiori**
That is, it's a hobby.
**[06:01] (Flashback) Sano**
A-A hobby.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Shiori**
Yes, a hobby.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Shiori**
I go around... acting like... a princess.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Sano**
I-Is that so?
**[06:18] Shiori**
*I ended up deceiving him.*
**[06:21] (Flashback) Sano**
"Princess" is an unusual hobby.
**[06:24] (Flashback) Sano**
Oh, but I don't mean that in a bad way.
**[06:28] (Flashback) Sano**
It seems really out there, but that's cool.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Sano**
Never mind.
**[06:40] Shiori**
After that, the mood was a little, well...
**[06:44] Shiori**
Maybe we had a failure to communicate.
**[06:48] Ichiro**
You consider that a failure?
**[06:51] Ichiro**
Sometimes it's a good fit, sometimes not.
**[06:53] Shiori**
Yes, but even so, I suspect
the cause lies with me.
**[07:00] Ichiro**
Aren't you getting that tablet
from Moka-nee next Sunday?
**[07:04] Ichiro**
If you learn the ropes, I'm sure you
could soon become a digital assistant.
**[07:08] Ichiro**
I'm sure there'll be other
workplaces that are good fits!
**[07:13] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[07:16] Ichiro**
* I want to encourage her,*
* but it's about work.*
**[07:20] Ichiro**
*I shouldn't get too involved.*
**[07:24] Ichiro**
Um, Goshiki-san, didn't you write
a list of things you want to do?
**[07:28] Shiori**
Yes.
**[07:29] Ichiro**
I wonder if there's anything
I can help you with.
**[07:33] Ichiro**
I-I want you to cheer up!
**[07:44] Machi**
Wouldn't some meat cheer her up?
**[07:47] Fumio**
Wouldn't it?
**[07:48] Ichiro**
Meat?
**[07:49] Ichiro**
Wait, you were listening?!
**[07:51] Machi**
Is that a "no," then?
**[07:53] Ichiro**
You know, I did say we'd go
once I was done with work,
**[07:56] Ichiro**
but one thing or another kept us from it.
**[07:59] Ichiro**
But that's not one of the things
Goshiki-san wants to do.
**[08:02] Ichiro**
We can go some other time.
**[08:04] Shiori**
No.
**[08:05] Shiori**
There's an item on my list
that says "celebratory meat."
**[08:09] Ichiro**
These things you want to do
aren't such high hurdles.
**[08:14] Ichiro**
Well, then...
**[08:15] Ichiro**
Let's go!
**[08:18] Machi**
Yay! Barbecue!
**[08:20] Fumio**
'Becue!
**[08:23] Machi**
The barbecue place where we're going...
**[08:25] Machi**
has good meat, and good curry, too!
**[08:28] Shiori**
Curry?
**[08:30] Machi**
It has tons of
melt-in-your-mouth meat in it!
**[08:33] Machi**
Fumio loves it, too!
**[08:35] Fumio**
Love it.
**[08:36] Ichiro**
It's unusual for a barbecue place
to be known for its curry.
**[08:40] Shiori**
I can't wait.
**[08:42] Machi**
Oh, we're here!
**[08:45] sign**
Barbecue Restaurant It's Beef!
**[08:45] Fumio**
It's Beef!
**[08:48] Shiori**
Oh, my!
**[08:50] Shiori**
So this is yakiniku barbecue!
**[08:54] Ichiro**
Is this your first time trying it?
**[08:56] Shiori**
I've participated in barbecues with
the children's group on the island.
**[09:00] Shiori**
We have a yakiniku restaurant,
but I've never been to it.
**[09:07] Shiori**
Lovely!
**[09:08] Ichiro**
I'm glad for you.
**[09:11] Shiori**
According to things I've read, manga
artists eat meat and live with animals.
**[09:17] Machi**
That's a rather skewed perspective.
**[09:19] Ichiro**
Sorry, our place doesn't allow pets.
**[09:25] Shiori**
That's true.
**[09:27] Shiori**
But I'm happy with just the meat.
**[09:31] Shiori**
Let's go ahead and flip the meat.
**[09:34] Machi**
Don't touch it with those!
**[09:37] Machi**
Use the tongs.
**[09:38] Machi**
Those long chopsticks are for salad!
**[09:41] Shiori**
All right. Wh-What about this onion on top?
**[09:45] Machi**
Leave it on top, and just grill one side!
**[09:48] Shiori**
That makes sense.
Machi-san, you make a great instructor.
**[09:52] Machi**
Sorry, I got carried away.
**[09:55] Shiori**
No, I'm glad.
**[09:57] Shiori**
You're making the effort so we
can enjoy a delicious meal.
**[10:04] Machi**
I'm kind of embarrassed.
**[10:08] Machi**
It should be good now.
**[10:09] Ichiro**
Okay, shall we eat?
**[10:11] Shiori**
Yes!
**[10:25] sign**
Kawanaka Shopping District
**[10:26] Machi**
I'm stuffed!
**[10:29] Ichiro**
Did you like it?
**[10:30] Shiori**
Yes.
**[10:31] Ichiro**
Great!
**[10:33] Ichiro**
I didn't expect this to be the day I'd finally get to
experience a barbecue place like I'd wanted to.
**[10:38] Ichiro**
It's time I cheered up.
**[10:41] Ichiro**
Sure.
**[10:47] Fumio**
Gum.
**[10:49] Machi**
It's orange-flavored!
**[10:50] Ichiro**
And it looks like our
"minister of meat" is satisfied.
**[10:54] Ichiro**
Thanks for coming along.
**[10:55] Shiori**
Of course. Today was so much fun.
**[10:59] Ichiro**
That much?
**[11:04] Shiori**
I realize the island isn't the only reason
I have a skewed perspective.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Shiori (child)**
May I...
**[11:24] (Flashback) boy**
Princess!
**[11:27] (Flashback) girl**
Here you go, Princess.
**[11:29] (Flashback) Shiori (child)**
Thank you.
**[11:33] (Flashback) Shiori (child)**
Would you mind if I ate with you?
**[11:38] (Flashback) girl**
We'll get yelled at if we
get your clothes dirty.
**[11:42] (Flashback) boy**
Come on, let's go.
**[11:43] (Flashback) girl**
Yeah.
**[11:52] Shiori**
When I think back, maybe as a
child I was used to giving up.
**[12:01] Shiori**
But now that I'm living away from the
island by choice, here's what I think.
**[12:06] Shiori**
I must keep moving forward and learning,
not just give up because I'm incapable.
**[12:12] Ichiro**
You're right.
**[12:14] Ichiro**
Even now, I have lots of things where
I'm liable to give up, so you dazzle me.
**[12:20] Shiori**
I do?
**[12:22] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[12:24] Ichiro**
But when I see the two of them
smiling after that meat dinner,
**[12:29] Ichiro**
it makes me glad I didn't
give up on so many things.
**[12:35] Shiori**
You're right.
**[12:37] Shiori**
I need to apply myself more and more, too.
**[12:41] Ichiro**
No, I didn't mean that!
**[12:44] Ichiro**
You're definitely trying hard!
**[12:46] Ichiro**
You don't need to overdo it.
**[12:48] Ichiro**
Or maybe, you're fine as you are, or...
**[12:53] Ichiro**
Sorry, what am I even saying?
**[12:56] Ichiro**
It's like, you're fine the way you are.
**[12:59] Ichiro**
I mean, wanting to change is a good thing,
and it's not that I don't want you to...
**[13:08] Shiori**
It made me happy to hear that
I dazzle someone, though.
**[13:12] Shiori**
I'll make an effort to
be even more dazzling.
**[13:17] Machi**
You two are so slow!
**[13:23] Shiori**
Sorry, I'll hurry up!
**[13:31] Machi**
Yum!
**[13:33] Machi**
Nothing beats a popsicle after barbecue!
**[13:40] Machi**
You want one, Goshiki-san?
**[13:43] Shiori**
I thought I'd have some coffee.
**[13:47] Shiori**
Where's Kuga-san?
**[13:49] Machi**
In his room. He holed up
as soon as we got home.
**[13:52] Fumio**
Work?
**[13:54] Machi**
I don't know. But I was hoping we'd
play a card game or something.
**[13:58] Shiori**
I see.
**[14:03] Shiori**
*Did I make some careless mistake earlier?*
**[14:08] Shiori**
*Was it another failure to communicate?*
**[14:13] Machi**
It's spilling all over!
**[14:21] Ichiro**
I'm such a mess.
**[14:23] Ichiro**
There must have been something more
I could have said to her.
**[14:28] Ichiro**
* I have plenty I want to convey,*
* but when I try, the words fail me.*
**[14:40] Ichiro**
I know, a letter!
**[14:43] Ichiro**
Maybe I can put it into writing instead!
**[14:46] Ichiro**
"You've been dependable ever since I met you."
**[14:57] (Flashback) Shiori**
I can keep going.
**[15:01] (Flashback) Ichiro**
Which do you like best?
**[15:05] (Flashback) Shiori**
I like this one.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Shiori**
This is love!
**[15:09] (Flashback) Shiori**
No, maybe I've always been
an absentminded person.
**[15:16] Ichiro**
Let's see, how do I word this?
**[15:20] Ichiro**
C-Can't think of the right words.
**[15:23] Ichiro**
I know!
**[15:26] Ichiro**
I'll use illustrations!
**[15:29] Ichiro**
Okay!
***SIGN*** At first, I definitely...
but once we started working,
I truly was surprised.
You could have fooled me that
you'd never been an assistant
**[15:32] Ichiro**
Let's see.
**[15:34] Ichiro**
"When I say 'beautiful,' I mean things like
your posture and pen work, but now..."
**[15:41] Ichiro**
But now, um...
***SIGN*** "and pen work, but now"
**[15:47] Ichiro**
You know what!
**[15:49] Ichiro**
Drawing a manga would be faster!
**[16:04] Ichiro**
Done!
**[16:06] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[16:10] Shiori**
Yes?
**[16:12] Ichiro**
Uh, it's Kuga.
**[16:14] Shiori**
I haven't gotten dressed yet.
**[16:18] Ichiro**
Of course! I'm sorry.
**[16:20] Ichiro**
I tried drawing... writing a letter,
if you'd like to read it.
**[16:24] Ichiro**
I'll leave it in your mailbox.
**[16:29] Shiori**
I'm sorry about yesterday.
**[16:32] Shiori**
I'm sure I said something careless to you.
**[16:35] Ichiro**
What are you talking about?
**[16:39] Shiori**
Never mind, come on in.
**[16:42] Ichiro**
Th-Thanks.
**[16:49] Ichiro**
What's this?
**[16:54] Shiori**
I thought about what I'm
currently capable of.
**[16:57] Shiori**
Maybe good communication isn't
something I'll master anytime soon,
**[17:02] Shiori**
but I can practice the art techniques
that were pointed out to me.
**[17:08] Shiori**
Also, it's a shame I haven't
read the classics.
**[17:12] Shiori**
I started reading
*Magical Girl-Thing From Another World*,
**[17:16] Shiori**
and it was so good I couldn't stop!
**[17:19] Shiori**
It's hard to believe it's
over thirty years old!
**[17:22] Ichiro**
*Goshiki-san is incredible.*
**[17:26] Ichiro**
*How embarrassing!*
**[17:28] Ichiro**
*Here she is putting her best foot forward,
and what have* I *been drawing?!*
**[17:34] Ichiro**
*I-It might creep her out.*
**[17:37] Shiori**
Oh, you had a letter.
**[17:39] Shiori**
I'll read it.
**[17:40] Ichiro**
Oh, this is just...
**[17:43] Shiori**
Can't you show it to me?
**[17:49] Ichiro**
It's...
***SIGN*** To Goshiki-san
**[17:52] Ichiro**
Well, I started writing
about your good points,
**[17:57] Ichiro**
but it just wasn't coming together as words.
**[18:00] Ichiro**
You know what, just forget about it!
**[18:02] Ichiro**
Sorry.
**[18:14] Ichiro**
S-Sorry! I *really* should've
minded my own business!
**[18:18] Shiori**
No, it's just a surprise.
**[18:27] Ichiro**
* At first, I simply thought a*
* dependable person had arrived.*
**[18:33] Ichiro**
* The Engagement Pact and your background*
* are certainly points of concern.*
**[18:38] Shiori's speech bubble**
I do have the choice not to fall in love.
**[18:39] Ichiro**
*But the way you readily accept new things,*
***SIGN*** I was unsure, and you told me which one you liked.
**[18:44] Shiori's speech bubble**
I like this one.
**[18:44] Ichiro**
* and the way you have a different perspective,*
* and speak your mind rather than being timid...*
**[18:46] Shiori's speech bubble**
If you need help, please tell me honestly.
**[18:51] Ichiro**
* It's hard to put into words, but the way you*
* see things is always refreshing for me.*
***SIGN*** It's hard to put into words, but the way you see things is always refreshing for me.
**[18:59] Shiori**
Why is it so...
**[19:02] Shiori's speech bubble**
This is love!
**[19:03] Ichiro**
* When you seem happy or like you're having fun,*
* it makes me very happy, too.*
**[19:09] Ichiro**
* That one time that rainy day,*
* I felt the tension just melt away.*
**[19:09] Shiori's speech bubble**
Maybe I am an absentminded person.
**[19:18] Ichiro**
I wanted you to know.
**[19:21] Ichiro**
*I realize there are many things I can't do,
and yet I try to hide that behind a brave front.*
**[19:30] Ichiro**
* But you readily admit such things,*
* and get yourself right out of a jam.*
**[19:37] Ichiro**
*I thought to myself, how strong and lovely.*
**[19:42] Ichiro**
You have plenty of wonderful
traits the way you are!
**[19:50] Shiori**
This is eighty pages long!
**[19:56] Shiori**
I'm so happy!
**[20:27] Shiori**
I'll treasure it.
***SIGN*** Yudai Sano
**[20:42] Ichiro**
It's Sano-kun.
**[20:47] Ichiro**
Long time! What's up?
**[20:49] Sano**
*Long time, indeed.*
**[20:51] Sano**
Uh... I heard you have an assistant
named Shiori Goshiki.
**[20:56] Ichiro**
Oh! Did she hit *you* up for work?
**[20:59] Sano**
Well, I wasn't sure whether to mention this.
**[21:03] Sano**
But when I asked whether she'd tried
working with you, she was like...
**[21:08] (Flashback) Shiori**
Kuga-san sure is lovely.
**[21:12] Sano**
*You've got a fan* in love *with* you*, no* doubt*!*
**[21:17] Ichiro**
W-We're actually dating.
**[21:20] Sano**
Huh?!
**[21:22] Sano**
I was dwelling so much on whether I should
tell you, I got all short with her!
**[21:27] Sano**
I'm really sorry.
**[21:29] Ichiro**
No, it's okay.
**[21:31] Sano**
*Now I get it.*
**[21:33] Sano**
* I'll have her come by again, then.*
* And I don't need to worry about all this.*
**[21:37] Ichiro**
Really?
**[21:39] Sano**
She's a little unusual, but interesting.
**[21:42] Sano**
And above all, she's got skills.
**[21:44] Sano**
You're cool with it?
**[21:45] Ichiro**
Of course! I'll tell her, too.
**[21:47] Sano**
Awesome, please do.
**[21:55] Ichiro**
Good.
**[21:57] Ichiro**
Good for you, Goshiki-san.
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:46] Machi**
Got the flowers?
**[23:47] Fumio**
Got 'em.
**[23:48] Machi**
Got the candle and incense sticks?
**[23:50] Chihiro**
Got 'em!
**[23:50] Machi**
Good, we're ready!
**[23:52] Machi**
Time to go visit the grave!
**[23:54] Fumio**
Go! Go!

**[00:08] Ichiro**
When we went to the zoo
before, we had bread.
**[00:12] Ichiro**
Today we'll have rice balls.
**[00:19] Ichiro**
There.
**[00:23] Ichiro**
Also... some apples.
**[00:33] Ichiro**
Good morning, Goshiki-san.
**[00:35] Shiori**
Oh, yes.
**[00:42] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[00:45] Shiori**
*I-I'm in love!*
**[00:50] Ichiro**
Hey.
**[00:52] Ichiro**
We're going out today.
**[00:54] Ichiro**
There are plenty of apples,
so feel free to have some.
**[01:02] Shiori**
I will, thank you.
**[01:04] Ichiro**
* Ever since I gave her that letter,*
* or rough draft, rather,*
**[01:09] Ichiro**
*she hasn't looked me in the eye much.*
**[01:12] (Flashback) Ichiro**
You have plenty of wonderful
traits the way you are!
**[01:17] Ichiro**
Um, I could pare that apple
for you if you like.
**[01:22] Shiori**
No, thank you.
**[01:24] Shiori**
I'll do it myself later.
**[01:26] Ichiro**
All right.
**[01:29] Ichiro**
*Maybe she* was *embarrassed after all.*
**[01:40] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'll treasure it.
**[01:46] Ichiro**
*It's embarrassing for me, too.*
**[01:51] Ichiro**
I'm going to go check on everyone.
**[02:02] Ichiro**
Chibi-chan! Will you be ready to go soon?
**[02:05] Chihiro**
Yep, I'm good.
**[02:08] Ichiro**
Sorry for making you come along.
**[02:11] Chihiro**
It's fine.
**[02:13] Ichiro**
Machi, Fumio.
**[02:16] Ichiro**
Huh?
**[02:23] Ichiro**
What're you doing?
**[02:25] Machi**
It was like, Fumio was holding
her hand, so I got in on it, too.
**[02:29] Ichiro**
Fumio, we're about to visit Dad's grave.
**[02:33] Ichiro**
You can play with her some other time.
**[02:35] Fumio**
No.
**[02:37] Shiori**
A grave visit?
**[02:39] Ichiro**
Would Goshiki-san enjoy that,
even if we invited her?
**[02:43] Shiori**
If it wouldn't be any trouble,
why don't I go with you?
**[03:01] [SONG] OP**
Looks like it started before I knew it
**[03:09] [SONG] OP**
Thanks to you, I'm all smiles
**[03:16] [SONG] OP**
The usual townscape lends
charm to the two of us
**[03:24] [SONG] OP**
Funny how it looks like a starry sky
**[03:33] [SONG] OP**
Suddenly buying flowers
**[03:35] [SONG] OP**
Standing around in the kitchen
**[03:37] [SONG] OP**
Sending a photo, because
the setting sun is pretty
**[03:40] [SONG] OP**
Trying to spend as much
time with you as I can
**[03:45] [SONG] OP**
This is all new for me
**[03:50] [SONG] OP**
I hope tomorrow is like today
**[03:56] [SONG] OP**
I've never felt this way before
**[04:02] [SONG] OP**
We'll go on a date this weekend if possible
**[04:08] [SONG] OP**
But it's fine if we stay home
**[04:15] [SONG] OP**
I can't wait to see you

Nope. That's why we come hang out sometimes.

Kuga Family Grave
**[04:50] Machi**
Place the flowers like this?
**[04:51] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[04:52] Chihiro**
I'll change out the water.
**[04:54] Ichiro**
Thank you.
**[04:55] Fumio**
The liquor?
**[04:56] Ichiro**
We'll bring it back when we're
done, so just set it there.
**[05:07] Ichiro**
Let's see...
**[05:09] Ichiro**
The whole family is doing well.
**[05:12] Ichiro**
Machi has grown by five centimeters.
**[05:15] Machi**
Lately, I've been thinking maybe
I'll study astrology stuff.
**[05:19] Shiori**
Oh my, lovely.
**[05:22] Ichiro**
Fumio still loves illustrated reference books,
and he's started trying to make his own.
**[05:28] Shiori**
Which is wonderful.
**[05:30] Chihiro**
I came along too, Uncle.
**[05:33] Ichiro**
We're all doing well, so please
watch over us free of concern.

Kuga Family Grave
**[05:48] Ichiro**
Okay, let's go eat.
**[05:51] Ichiro**
Withdraw!
**[05:55] child**
Wait up!
**[06:02] Shiori**
Oh, a picnic!
**[06:04] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[06:07] Ichiro**
I figured we'd have one before it gets cold.
**[06:09] Chihiro**
Lucky for us the weather's nice.
**[06:12] Machi**
We always eat interesting food
after we visit the grave!
**[06:16] Ichiro**
It's not a rule or anything,
**[06:19] Ichiro**
but we figure it's best for one
part of this to be enjoyable.
**[06:23] Shiori**
That makes sense.
**[06:25] Machi/Fumio**
Time to eat!
**[06:29] Machi**
It's good!
**[06:31] Ichiro**
Glad to hear it.
**[06:33] Shiori**
This *is* enjoyable.
**[06:37] Machi**
Last time, I had Indian
curry for the first time!
**[06:40] Machi**
Wasn't that butter chicken
stuff yummy, Fumio?
**[06:43] Fumio**
Yum-yum.
**[06:44] Chihiro**
I only come when I can.
**[06:47] Ichiro**
Oh, I think you manage
to make it all the time.
**[06:51] Ichiro**
Thanks.
**[06:52] Chihiro**
Well, I mean, it's fun after all.
**[06:55] Machi**
Chibi-chan, you get embarrassed so easily.
**[06:57] Chihiro**
That goes for Goshiki-san, too.
**[07:00] Chihiro**
I mean, I'm a relative if nothing else.
**[07:04] Machi**
But Goshiki-san is Ichiro's girlfriend!
**[07:08] Machi**
They said they're dating!
**[07:14] Ichiro**
M-Machi, don't go blabbing that!
**[07:16] Machi**
What? Can't I say it?
**[07:17] Ichiro**
Yes, you can, but...
**[07:23] Ichiro**
Here, have a manju bun from Kotoriya.
**[07:25] Machi**
You got it!
**[07:27] Ichiro**
Um, it's not that we were hiding it.
**[07:31] Chihiro**
Yeah, I did have my suspicions.
**[07:34] Chihiro**
You two make a good couple.
**[07:36] Ichiro**
A-Are you sure?!
**[07:38] Shiori**
Oh, that makes me happy!
**[07:40] Ichiro**
I-I'm happy, too...
**[07:43] Shiori**
Oh, my!
**[07:45] Chihiro**
* I mean, Ichiro-kun's like a*
* big brother to me anyway...*
**[07:50] Machi**
Dad sure did love these manju buns.
**[07:53] Ichiro**
He liked sweet things and liquor.
**[07:56] Chihiro**
He worked and played so hard.
I used to wonder when he ever slept.
**[08:02] Machi**
It's too bad he wouldn't go
see the doctor more often.
**[08:11] Machi**
Huh?
**[08:21] Machi**
I'm fine.
**[08:22] Fumio**
Fine.
**[08:28] Shiori**
Here, Machi-san.
**[08:30] Shiori**
You too, Fumio-san.
**[08:32] Fumio**
Thank you.
**[08:34] Machi**
How many hankies do you even have?
**[08:38] Shiori**
It's a spare.
**[08:42] Shiori**
On my island, when we remember the departed,
**[08:46] Shiori**
we all talk and pray together
while gazing at the starry sky.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Miyako**
I'm sure my predecessor was happy that
everyone watched over her until the end.
**[09:09] (Flashback) Miyako**
Tonight, let us pray for
the repose of her soul.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Takeru**
You must miss her, Shiori.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Takeru**
She was especially fond of you.
**[09:21] (Flashback) Shiori**
Yes.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Shiori**
It was Grandmother who opened
my eyes to a new world.
**[09:50] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, is something wrong?
**[09:52] Shiori**
No.
**[09:54] Shiori**
It's lovely and invigorating to talk together
this way beneath the blue sky, too.
**[10:02] Chihiro**
I like the idea of gathering at night.
**[10:04] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[10:06] Shiori**
My people are all of one heart, no matter
how close or distant they may be.
**[10:11] Machi**
Your "people"?
**[10:14] Shiori**
That's a sort of family tradition of ours.
**[10:19] Shiori**
*I talked my way out of it again.*
**[10:32] Ichiro**
Oh, hey.
**[10:34] Ichiro**
I forgot to offer the manju buns,
so I'm going to drop by again.
**[10:39] Ichiro**
Sorry, you can all go on ahead.
**[10:41] Machi**
Okay, got it. Can we play games?
**[10:44] Ichiro**
Sure thing. I'll be home soon.
**[10:47] Ichiro**
Chibi-chan, can I ask
you to look after them?
**[10:50] Chihiro**
Sure, that's fine.
**[10:52] Ichiro**
Thanks a lot. See ya!
**[10:57] Machi**
Well, he needs some alone time, too.
**[11:00] Machi**
Let's go home, Goshiki-san.
**[11:03] Machi**
Huh?
**[11:08] Ichiro**
*Wonder if that seemed a bit forced.*
**[11:17] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san?
**[11:18] Shiori**
Is it okay if I go with you?
**[11:21] Ichiro**
You could have just gone back.
**[11:23] Shiori**
I'll leave if you prefer,
but you looked sad.
**[11:29] Ichiro**
No, it's okay.
**[11:31] Ichiro**
Let's go together.
**[11:40] Shiori**
Did your father have an illness?
**[11:44] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:46] Ichiro**
It all happened so quickly.
**[11:49] Ichiro**
He would never complain,
so we didn't realize until the end.
**[11:54] Ichiro**
If only he'd talked about it more.
**[12:02] Shiori**
Earlier, you reported about
Machi-san and Fumio-san.
**[12:06] Shiori**
But it bugged me that nobody
told him about you.
**[12:15] Shiori**
I think Kuga-san is wonderful
for supporting his siblings.
**[12:20] Ichiro**
Well, I'm not reliable like Dad, and I'm always
worrying over whether I'm doing it right.
**[12:28] Ichiro**
There wasn't much good
for me to report.
**[12:32] Shiori**
What's an example of
something that worries you?
**[12:36] Shiori**
Are those worries something you can't share?
**[12:48] Ichiro**
It's still a little difficult.
**[12:50] Ichiro**
But thank you.
**[12:59] Shiori**
I haven't done anything yet.
**[13:03] Ichiro**
No, I'm thankful for the sentiment.
***SIGN*** Kuga Family Grave
**[13:14] Ichiro**
The truth is, I only want to
share the things that are good.
**[13:19] Ichiro**
But just being told it's okay to share the
things that aren't good makes me happy.
**[13:24] Shiori**
I see.
**[13:27] Ichiro**
And so, well...
**[13:28] Ichiro**
I did think of something else to report.
**[13:32] Ichiro**
That's why I came back.
**[13:34] Shiori**
That's lovely!
**[13:40] Ichiro**
Dad.
**[13:42] Ichiro**
This is Shiori Goshiki-san.
**[13:48] Ichiro**
We're in a relationship.
**[13:53] Ichiro**
A-And I hope it lasts a long time!
**[14:03] Shiori**
N-Nice to meet you!
**[14:10] Ichiro**
It's getting cooler.
**[14:12] Ichiro**
Want to go home?
**[14:13] Shiori**
Yeah.
**[14:29] Shiori**
*A-A long time?*
**[14:33] Shiori**
*Now this feels like...*
**[14:40] Machi**
Ichiro, what did you want to discuss?
**[14:43] Ichiro**
Dad! This is Shiori Goshiki-san!
**[14:46] Ichiro**
I want to be in a relationship
with her for a long time!
**[14:49] Machi**
Okay then. Be sure to make her happy.
**[14:52] Fumio**
Happy.
**[14:56] Shiori**
Huh?!
**[14:58] Machi**
Congratulations!
**[15:00] Ichiro**
Thanks!
**[15:00] Fumio**
Bum-bum-bum!
**[15:01] Shiori**
I'll be so happy!
**[15:04] Shiori**
Calm down, me!
**[15:10] Shiori**
Now I feel woozy.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Ichiro**
A-And I hope it lasts a long time!
**[15:30] Ichiro**
*Th-That kinda felt like you-know-what.*
**[15:32] kanji**
father
**[15:35] Ichiro**
We're an item!
**[15:43] Ichiro**
G-Goshiki-san?
**[15:48] Ichiro**
Huh?
**[15:49] Ichiro**
Your face looks red.
**[15:51] Shiori**
I felt hot. Thought I'd have some water.
**[15:57] Ichiro**
You might have a fever.
**[15:59] Ichiro**
See?
**[16:01] Ichiro**
Get in bed.
**[16:02] Shiori**
Water...
**[16:03] Ichiro**
I'll bring you some.
**[16:14] Ichiro**
Now get some rest.
**[16:16] Shiori**
Th-Thank you.
**[16:21] Ichiro**
I wonder if she got sick
because it suddenly got cool.
**[16:25] Ichiro**
Vitamins and hydration.
**[16:27] Ichiro**
Some rice gruel, if she can eat.
**[16:29] Ichiro**
And that leaves medicine.
**[16:33] Ichiro**
How does her health work?
**[16:36] Ichiro**
Is her stinger the only thing about her
that's different from regular people?
**[16:41] Ichiro**
I should have asked.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'll lie down next to you.
**[17:01] Ichiro**
I want her to rely on me.
**[17:07] Ichiro**
Right, so let her get some rest.
**[17:11] Machi**
Can we do something to help?
**[17:13] Fumio**
To help?
**[17:17] Shiori**
*I hear voices.*
**[17:20] Ichiro**
It's okay. You two just keep
warm and get some sleep.
**[17:24] Machi**
Okay.
**[17:26] Shiori**
*Something smells good.*
**[17:31] Ichiro**
I'm coming in.
**[17:37] Ichiro**
I'll leave this here.
**[17:39] Ichiro**
Have some, if you think you can eat.
**[17:41] Ichiro**
Text me anytime if you need anything.
**[17:47] Ichiro**
Well, sorry to intrude.
**[17:57] Shiori**
Just a little longer.
**[18:00] Ichiro**
S-Sure.
**[18:15] Shiori**
The room.
**[18:20] Shiori**
My room.
**[18:22] Ichiro**
Yes?
**[18:23] Shiori**
It's very spacious.
**[18:25] Ichiro**
You mean back home.
**[18:27] Shiori**
And quiet.
**[18:29] Shiori**
Oh, but my people will
come if I call to them.
**[18:33] Shiori**
That's why, the first time I saw this one,
**[18:38] Shiori**
I thought "What a lovely, small room."
**[18:44] Shiori**
Even from the center, I feel
like everything's within reach.
**[18:47] Ichiro**
Oh, I get it...
**[18:52] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, you don't have
to force yourself to talk.
**[18:57] Shiori**
But we need to talk about something.
**[19:00] Shiori**
Because I want you to stay.
**[19:08] Ichiro**
You don't have to say anything.
**[19:10] Ichiro**
I'll be right here.
**[19:14] Shiori**
Are you sure?
**[19:16] Ichiro**
I am.
**[19:44] Shiori**
I feel better!
**[19:49] Shiori**
*I had him fall asleep in* that *position?!*
**[19:52] Shiori**
*Was he like that all night?!*
**[19:58] Shiori**
*That means we spent the night together!*
**[20:08] Ichiro**
Sorry! I didn't mean to doze off!
**[20:11] Shiori**
It's okay! Thanks to you,
I feel completely well now.
**[20:16] Ichiro**
Good, good.
**[20:17] Ichiro**
I'll be going, then.
**[20:19] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[20:49] Ichiro**
I'm glad you feel better.
**[20:52] Shiori**
Me, too.
**[21:00] Shiori**
*Maybe this fever was a good thing.*
**[21:05] Machi**
Goshiki-san, are you okay?!
**[21:07] Fumio**
You okay?
**[21:10] Ichiro**
Wh-What, you were up?
**[21:13] Shiori**
G-Good morning!
**[21:15] Machi**
Goshiki-san, how do you feel?
**[21:18] Shiori**
I'm all better, thanks.
**[21:23] Machi**
Oh, that's good!
**[21:25] Fumio**
That's good.
**[21:26] Ichiro**
The way you came barging into the room,
you must have been pretty worried.
**[21:31] Machi**
And what're you doing here, Ichiro?
**[21:34] Ichiro**
Oh, I just happened to...
**[21:36] Ichiro**
I was worried, too.
**[21:39] Machi**
Then that makes you the same as us!
**[21:44] Ichiro**
Oh, I know.
**[21:45] Ichiro**
I'll make breakfast. I bet you're hungry.
**[21:48] Machi**
I am!
**[21:49] Fumio**
I am!
**[21:51] Ichiro**
You two can help me get ready, then.
**[21:54] Machi/Fumio**
Okay.
**[21:58] Machi**
Your face is red, though. Are you okay?
**[22:02] Ichiro**
N-Never mind about me!
**[22:04] Ichiro**
Come on now, out!
**[22:06] Machi**
Weird.
**[22:07] Fumio**
Weird.
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching
into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having
to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond
that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've
come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and
the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:45] Fumio**
Will it be Christmas soon?
**[23:47] Machi**
That's right! What present
will you ask for, Fumio?
**[23:50] Fumio**
A castle book.
**[23:51] Machi**
Nice! What about you, Chibi-chan?
**[23:53] Chihiro**
Me?! Um, um... it's a secret.

Um, are you...
**[02:57] Shiori**
Yes?
**[02:58] Ichiro**
Do you have any Chr... N-New Year's plans?
**[03:02] Ichiro**
Like, going home to the island?
**[03:04] Shiori**
I don't. I'm going to spend it here.
**[03:09] Shiori**
Uh, is that a problem?
**[03:12] Ichiro**
Not at all. Let's greet
the new year together.
**[03:15] Shiori**
That's a lovely idea!
**[03:19] Fumio**
Work's done.
**[03:21] Machi**
What's going on?
**[03:22] Ichiro**
Oh, we were talking about New Year's plans.
**[03:25] Ichiro**
I figured she could join us
for the shrine visit, etc.
**[03:30] Machi**
We've got Christmas first!
**[03:32] Fumio**
First.
**[03:33] Shiori**
Christmas!
**[03:35] Ichiro**
Don't tell me you don't know about it?
**[03:38] Shiori**
No, I do know.
**[03:40] Shiori**
We don't really celebrate it back home.
**[03:44] Shiori**
But I have Christmas knowledge!
**[03:47] Machi**
Okay, but be careful because
Fumio still believes in Santa.
**[03:52] Shiori**
When you say Santa...
**[03:55] Shiori**
you mean the old man who
sneaks in with presents.
**[03:58] Shiori**
You don't believe anymore?
**[04:00] Machi**
Right, there's no Santa. Not in Japan.
**[04:04] Machi**
He's from overseas, so he can't
make it here every time.
**[04:08] Machi**
Every kid can get a gift once from the
real Santa-san by the time they're ten,
**[04:13] Machi**
but I already got mine.
**[04:17] Shiori**
You don't say. What gift was that?
**[04:22] Machi**
Fumio!
**[04:23] Shiori**
Oh, how lovely!
**[04:26] Shiori**
Christmas is special for the Kuga family.
**[04:29] Machi**
Yeah! We also have a Christmas party.
**[04:32] Machi**
Let's have it together!
**[04:33] Shiori**
I'd love to!
**[04:36] Ichiro**
*This could be for better or for worse.*
**[04:43] Ichiro**
*Oh, well.*
**[04:49] Momoka**
Merry Christmas Eve!
**[04:52] Machi**
Moka-nee! Come on in!
**[04:54] Fumio**
Come in.
**[04:56] Momoka**
Thank you for inviting me.
**[04:58] Momoka**
Here are some refreshments.
**[05:00] Machi**
Thank you!
**[05:08] Sano**
Beefcake-sensei! It's been a while!
**[05:10] Momoka**
Yeah, it has.
**[05:13] Machi**
For us too, Sano-kun!
**[05:17] Sano**
Did you grow some?
**[05:20] Sano**
Thought so.
**[05:22] Shiori**
Sano-sensei!
**[05:24] Shiori**
I appreciate all the work.
**[05:26] Sano**
M-My thoughts exactly.
**[05:29] Shiori**
You and Fumio-san get along well.
**[05:33] Sano**
W-Well, I was invited to the Christmas party
**[05:35] Sano**
the whole time I was an assistant,
which ended last year.
**[05:38] Ichiro**
Don't you have a manga volume coming
out soon? I'm looking forward to it.
**[05:43] Sano**
Oh, I'll give you a comp copy.
**[05:45] Ichiro**
I already bought one in advance.
**[05:48] Ichiro**
Sorry, sorry. I was just so happy that someone
who'd helped me was going to debut.
**[05:53] Sano**
It's not such a huge deal.
**[06:00] all**
Cheers!
**[06:02] Machi**
Yummy!
**[06:04] Fumio**
Yum!
**[06:05] Shiori**
It's not the first time I've noticed,
but Kuga-san is good at cooking.
**[06:10] Ichiro**
I can't do it without a recipe.
**[06:12] Shiori**
Don't be modest.
**[06:14] Shiori**
I just wanted you to know
I think you're wonderful.
**[06:18] Ichiro**
I'm just embarrassed.
**[06:20] Ichiro**
Th-Thank you.
**[06:22] Machi**
Listen to the lovebirds.
**[06:28] Momoka**
You're dating?!
**[06:30] Ichiro/Shiori**
Yes.
**[06:34] Shiori**
I was the one who confessed.
**[06:37] Momoka**
Wow...
**[06:39] Momoka**
To Ichiro-kun, huh?
**[06:42] Sano**
You said it. I was surprised, too.
**[06:45] Momoka**
Well, Ichiro-kun's a good guy. I get it.
**[06:50] Ichiro**
Y-You think so?
**[06:53] Shiori**
I'd like to hear stories about him.
**[06:55] Ichiro**
Stop it.
**[06:57] Momoka**
Once, when I fell down and
was bleeding all over...
**[07:03] (Flashback) young Momoka**
That really hurts! Let's take a picture!
**[07:06] (Flashback) young Ichiro**
No! What if it gets infected?!
**[07:14] Momoka**
Shy Ichiro-kun got seriously
angry out of concern.
**[07:19] Momoka**
I was impressed.
**[07:22] Ichiro**
It's because you were bleeding so much.
**[07:25] Ichiro**
*I didn't know she felt that way about it.*
**[07:28] Shiori**
Lovely!
**[07:29] Shiori**
More stories like that, please!
**[07:34] Shiori**
I bet Chihiro-san must have
some, being his cousin.
**[07:38] Ichiro**
I think we've heard enough.
**[07:40] Chihiro**
Let's see...
**[07:41] Ichiro**
D-Don't go out of your way!
**[07:43] Chihiro**
I had just gotten into the high school here.
**[07:45] Chihiro**
I was glad, since it was
the one I hoped to attend,
**[07:48] Chihiro**
but I had to move away
from my family to do it.
**[07:53] Chihiro**
But when my parents told me
**[07:54] Chihiro**
that Ichiro-kun would look after me here
during my three years of high school...
**[07:59] Chihiro**
I was really happy.
**[08:02] Ichiro**
No, that was because you were studying so hard.
**[08:06] Shiori**
So, that's how it happened. Lovely.
**[08:09] Machi**
I have one, too!
**[08:11] Ichiro**
Enough! This is too embarrassing!
**[08:14] Machi**
He always lets me and Fumio go first.
**[08:18] Machi**
Even with food and baths.
**[08:20] Machi**
Because he loves us!
**[08:22] Ichiro**
That's all ordinary stuff.
**[08:25] Ichiro**
What's with this party?
**[08:27] Shiori**
Compliments make him self-conscious!
That's irresistible!
**[08:31] Shiori**
Christmas is such a good time.
**[08:33] Sano**
Maybe I sh-should say something, too.
**[08:36] Ichiro**
That's okay!
**[08:38] Momoka**
Then let's talk about Goshiki-san next.
**[08:41] Momoka**
Where are you from, again?
**[08:43] Shiori**
A place called Yobijima.
**[08:45] Momoka**
You're from an island!
What kind of place is Yobijima?
**[08:49] Shiori**
Let's see... The people are
all very kind and friendly.
**[08:53] Shiori**
The stars look beautiful from there.
**[08:56] Momoka**
Stars, huh? Nice!
**[08:58] Machi**
Sounds a lot more amazing than Tokyo!
**[09:01] Shiori**
It truly is beautiful.
**[09:04] Momoka**
I'd like to hear more about it.
**[09:06] Momoka**
Like about your memories from there.
**[09:08] Shiori**
Memories...
**[09:11] Shiori**
*Wh-What should I say?*
**[09:14] Shiori**
* They're nearly all memories*
* of being the princess.*
**[09:22] Shiori**
* And should I have been misrepresenting*
* myself in the first place?*
**[09:27] Momoka**
Oh hey, sorry.
**[09:30] Momoka**
Maybe it was awkward to ask.
**[09:32] Shiori**
No, it's not like that.
**[09:34] Momoka**
Oh, I know.
**[09:36] Momoka**
Here.
**[09:38] Momoka**
The tablet. Sorry it took so long.
**[09:41] Momoka**
But now it's a Christmas present.
**[09:44] Shiori**
This is the tablet?
**[09:47] Shiori**
Thank you!
**[09:49] Momoka**
No problem.
**[09:51] Momoka**
These are for Machi and Fumio.
**[09:53] Machi/Fumio**
Yay!
**[09:56] Machi**
Thanks!
**[09:56] Fumio**
Thanks.
**[09:58] Momoka**
I had a great time! And the food was delicious.

Oh, is it also Happy New Year time?
**[10:08] Momoka**
Right, this'll be our last

**[10:11] Ichiro**
Yeah. Happy New Year.
**[10:14] Momoka**
See you next year!
**[10:19] Shiori**
"See you next year."
Words that warm the heart.
**[10:24] Machi**
Hey, can we stay up a little later?
**[10:28] Ichiro**
Fumio says he's sleepy.
**[10:32] Shiori**
I'd like to talk a bit more.
**[10:35] Shiori**
I'll stay up with you, if you like.
**[10:38] Machi**
Yes!
**[10:40] Machi**
Chibi-chan, come hang out with us!
**[10:43] Chihiro**
Okay, want to come to my room?
**[10:47] Machi**
Hooray! Can I wear pajamas?
**[10:50] Shiori**
Pajamas?! Does that make this a sleepover?!
**[10:53] Chihiro**
Um...
**[10:55] Chihiro**
* This is my chance to find out what*

**[11:00] Chihiro**

**[11:01] Ichiro**
That's okay with you?
**[11:04] Machi/Shiori**
Yay!
**[11:06] Ichiro**
*I was thinking about inviting her on a walk.*
**[11:10] Ichiro**
*But oh well.*
**[11:15] Shiori/Machi**
Here we are!
**[11:20] Shiori**
What a lovely room. You like books, I see.

Oh yes, true.
**[12:02] Machi**
Goshiki-san! We're having a sleepover.
We're totally friends!
**[12:09] Chihiro**
Hey, there's no need to rush things.
**[12:12] Shiori**
Friends.
**[12:15] Shiori**
You're right, we are.
**[12:17] Machi**
Goshiki-san?
**[12:19] Ichiro**
*I hope those two aren't being unreasonable.*
**[12:22] Shiori**
There's something...
**[12:26] Shiori**
I haven't told the two of you.
**[12:32] Shiori**
On my island...
**[12:35] Shiori**
I was a princess!
**[12:48] Shiori**
I was a princess.
**[12:51] Chihiro**
Prin...
**[12:53] Machi**
...cess.
**[12:54] Shiori**
Yes, a princess.
**[12:58] Shiori**
Because of said obligations, and my...
**[13:02] Shiori**
...personal issues, it's been a
burden on my boyfriend, Kuga-san.
**[13:08] Shiori**
Keeping quiet about it makes me feel like
I'm deceiving everyone, and that stings.
**[13:14] Ichiro**
*Oh, great. Now I'm eavesdropping.*
**[13:21] Machi**
That sounds like it's pretty bad,
**[13:24] Machi**
but are you thinking we're not friends
if you don't tell us everything?
**[13:29] Machi**
I'll listen if you want to talk,
but it's okay to keep it secret.
**[13:33] Machi**
I have secrets, too.
**[13:35] Shiori**
You do?
**[13:36] Machi**
I even have things I haven't told... Ichiro.
**[13:41] Ichiro**
*She does?*
**[13:43] Chihiro**
I guess I have things I still
want to keep secret, too.
**[13:47] Shiori**
I see.
**[13:50] Machi**
Does Ichiro know?
**[13:52] Shiori**
Yes.
**[13:53] Machi**
Then it's fine.
**[13:55] Machi**
He'll be your ally, just not
a super strong one.
**[14:00] Machi**
As your friend, you have my
permission to have secrets.
**[14:04] Shiori**
Okay. Thank you.
**[14:07] Chihiro**
*Maybe Goshiki-san is sweeter than I thought.*
**[14:11] Chihiro**
Uh, may I call you "Shiori-san"?
**[14:13] Machi**
Can I call you "Shio-chan"?
**[14:15] Shiori**
Yes, certainly!
**[14:19] Machi**
Shio-chan!
**[14:20] Shiori**
Machi-chan.
**[14:23] Chihiro**
Shio... chan!
**[14:25] Shiori**
Chihiro-chan.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Shiori**
It's been a burden on my boyfriend, Kuga-san.
**[14:37] Ichiro**
*It bothers her... that much, huh.*
**[14:41] Ichiro**
* To be honest, at first there were times*
* when I considered it just her problem.*
**[14:46] (Flashback) Shiori**
Now you and my stinger have been linked.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Shiori**
That amounts to the two of us vowing
to bind our destinies together!
**[14:59] (Flashback) Shiori**
You want to know if it's
possible to annul our pact.
**[15:05] (Flashback) Ichiro**
*Is* it possible?
**[15:07] (Flashback) Shiori**
I don't know yet, but I arranged for my
staff on the island to look into it.
**[15:13] Ichiro**
* I've been waiting patiently*
* for it to be resolved.*
**[15:17] Ichiro**
*But...*
**[15:21] Machi**
Santa brought us presents!
**[15:23] Fumio**

**[15:24] Ichiro**
Good for you.

Good morning, Shio-chan!

U-Um, Goshiki-san...
**[15:42] Shiori**
Yes?
**[15:45] Ichiro**
Do you have some time tonight?!
**[15:48] Shiori**
Tonight!
**[15:49] Ichiro**
Once dinner is over...
**[15:51] Machi**
Aw, you can at least eat dinner with her.
**[15:55] Ichiro**
No way! We all eat dinner together!
**[15:59] Ichiro**
It's just that it's Christmas and all.
**[16:01] Shiori**
Is this a date?
**[16:03] Ichiro**
That's right!
**[16:05] Shiori**
A Christmas date!
**[16:08] Shiori**
I'd love to!
**[16:15] Takeru**
Miyako, it's chilly out here.
**[16:18] Miyako**
Why not bring a coat, if you think so?
**[16:23] Takeru**
Isn't today that Christmas thing?
**[16:26] Takeru**
Shall we go out somewhere, for a change?
**[16:28] Miyako**
Huh? You're free to go on your own.
**[16:31] Takeru**
Got it.
**[16:36] Takeru**
I wonder if Shiori's doing well.
**[16:39] Miyako**
It's nearly the New Year, and she
has yet to contact us at all.
**[16:45] Takeru**
Do you miss her?
**[16:46] Miyako**
My feelings aren't so simple as that.
**[17:04] Shiori**
Shining lights as far as the
eye can see. Lovely!
**[17:16] Shiori**
I saw this in *Choco Life* volume four!
**[17:19] Shiori**
A Christmas lights date!
**[17:23] Ichiro**
*I'm glad she's enjoying this.*
**[17:26] Ichiro**
They say the lights were originally candles
placed on trees to represent stars.
**[17:32] Ichiro**
I guess the stars look prettier
from your island, though.
**[17:36] Shiori**
But these lights are at eye level rather
than overhead, so they're more fascinating.
**[17:42] Shiori**
It's like they're drawing me in.
**[17:45] Ichiro**
I haven't paid much attention
to these things lately.
**[17:49] Ichiro**
But today, they seem
prettier than usual.
**[17:53] Shiori**
Does that mean it seems pretty because
you're looking at it with me?
**[17:59] Ichiro**
Y-Yes...
**[18:03] Shiori**
When we're like this, it's like
there was never any problem.
**[18:07] Shiori**
But every time I grow closer to you,
**[18:10] Shiori**
the fact that the pact causes you pain
jabs at me like a stinger.
**[18:17] Shiori**
It makes me wonder if it should be this way.
**[18:21] Ichiro**
I mean, I'm...
**[18:23] Ichiro**
We've been careful to avoid any
retribution from the pact lately.
**[18:27] Ichiro**
I thought we'd been doing well.
**[18:31] Shiori**
But that doesn't mean it's gone.
**[18:33] Shiori**
It's a problem that I must resolve.
**[18:38] Ichiro**
That makes it sound like it's your
fault, and I don't like that.
**[18:44] Ichiro**
Let's think it over together, taking your
family and physiology into consideration.
**[18:55] Ichiro**
Because I love you.
**[18:58] Shiori**
I-I'm surprised you've
given it that much thought.
**[19:03] Ichiro**
Yeah, that's why I want us to stop
dating like we're trying it out.
**[19:11] Ichiro**
Would you...
**[19:14] Ichiro**
go out with me with the intent
to someday get married?!
**[19:19] Ichiro**
And I also mean let's do away with
the ancestral Engagement Pact thing.
**[19:23] Ichiro**
Of course, if you don't want to, it's fine!
**[19:28] Ichiro**
G-Goshiki-san?
**[19:30] Shiori**
Um, is it all right if I kiss you?
**[19:41] Ichiro**
Now?!
**[19:42] Ichiro**
Wh-Where?!
**[19:43] Shiori**
On the face.
**[19:44] Ichiro**
Face! F-Face, right.
**[19:49] Ichiro**
Y-Yes.
**[20:10] Shiori**
Of course I want to.
**[20:12] Shiori**
I love you.

**[00:22] Ichiro**
Did something happen?
**[00:23] Shiori**
Yes, I heard from the island yesterday.
**[00:27] Ichiro**
Did they maybe figure out
how to annul the pact?
**[00:30] Shiori**
No, my mother contacted me.
**[00:34] Ichiro**
What did she say?
**[00:36] Shiori**
I was told they're looking
forward to my return.
**[00:40] Shiori**
But if I go back now, I don't know when
I'd next be able to leave the island,
**[00:45] Shiori**
so I told her I won't be
going back for a while.
**[00:48] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[00:50] Shiori**
Well, I'm sorry there's nothing
to pass along about the pact.

I've tasked someone I trust with that,
so please let them keep investigating.

Yes!

**[05:32] Machi**
Not that I'd bathe with
Ichiro anymore, of course.
**[05:37] Machi**
Shio-chan, let's try out
the spring together!
**[05:40] Shiori**
A lovely idea!
**[05:44] Ichiro**
Are you okay looking after Machi?
**[05:46] Shiori**
Of course!
**[05:48] Shiori**
It'll be great.
**[05:49] Machi**
Yeah!
**[05:50] Ichiro**
See you later, then.
**[05:58] Machi**
The water's great!
**[06:02] Shiori**
Everyone's naked.
**[06:05] Machi**
Shio-chan! Don't go staring
at strangers in here!
**[06:09] Shiori**
You're right. I'm sorry.
**[06:11] Shiori**
It's my first time bathing with others.
**[06:14] Machi**
No problem! Today I'll teach
you about hot spring manners!
**[06:19] Shiori**
You're so dependable!
**[06:28] kanji**

**[06:28] Shiori**
Open-air baths are lovely!
**[06:36] Ichiro**
Hey, no swimming!
**[06:39] Ichiro**
*I had to leave Machi in her care.*
**[06:41] Ichiro**
*I wonder if she's looking after her.*
**[06:44] Shiori**
That was a great bath.
**[06:49] Shiori**
Oh, you guys had already gotten out.
**[06:52] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san!
**[06:53] Ichiro**
W-Were things all right? With your tail.
**[06:58] Ichiro**
Don't worry, I had my tail tucked away.

**[07:05] Shiori**
Are you dizzy from the heat?
**[07:07] Ichiro**
No, I'm fine. It's nothing.
**[07:10] Shiori**
Kuga-san?
**[07:11] Ichiro**
I'm fine!
**[07:12] Machi**
What're they doing?
**[07:13] Shiori**
Are you sure?
**[07:19] Machi**
What a feast!
**[07:38] Ichiro**
*They said* they *were going
to use the footbath, too.*
**[07:44] Shiori**
May I sit next to you?
**[07:46] Ichiro**
Yeah. Sure. Of course.
**[07:52] Shiori**
Kuga-san, I...
**[07:55] Shiori**
There's something I want to do with you.
**[07:59] Ichiro**
*So cute!*
**[08:02] Shiori**
Look at this, I installed
manga production software!
**[08:06] Shiori**
A drawing app!
**[08:10] Ichiro**
Oh, right. That.
**[08:12] Shiori**
Once you're used to it, it's not much
different from drawing on paper.
**[08:15] Shiori**
See?
**[08:16] Ichiro**
I haven't touched this sort of thing
since I deleted Moka-nee's data.
**[08:20] Shiori**
It's just doodling for fun.
**[08:23] Shiori**
See, you can even redo things.
**[08:26] Shiori**
And applying tone is a cinch.
**[08:28] Shiori**
Give it a try, Kuga-san.
**[08:30] Ichiro**
Sure.
**[08:36] Ichiro**
Wow, that really is something.
**[08:39] Shiori**
And if you take the wonderful art this
kind person made, and do this...
**[08:45] Ichiro**
These days, you can even do stuff like that?
**[08:48] Ichiro**
Now I'm interested.
**[08:50] Shiori**
I thought you might be.
**[08:52] Shiori**
It's good for adding color, too.
**[09:01] Ichiro**
We've come to this great place
with an incredible view,
**[09:05] Ichiro**
yet we're playing around with a tablet.
**[09:07] Shiori**
Well, good point.
**[09:09] Ichiro**
I've never had a New Year like this.
**[09:12] Ichiro**
I'm truly grateful.
**[09:16] Shiori**
What a relief. It kind of seemed
like you were avoiding eye contact.
**[09:21] Ichiro**
N-No, I was just being self-conscious...
**[09:24] Ichiro**
Sorry.
**[09:25] Shiori**
Is that what it was? Gee.
**[09:29] Shiori**
I've never spent New Year's like this either,
**[09:32] Shiori**
and it's fun, but I've also had some doubts.
**[09:36] Shiori**
It's okay to enjoy it, isn't it?
**[09:38] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san.
**[09:40] Ichiro**
It worries you that you didn't go home, huh?
**[09:44] Shiori**
The truth is, I left the island
without my mother's permission.
**[09:48] Shiori**
I managed to leave thanks to my grandmother's
dying wish that I get to do what I want.
**[09:55] Ichiro**
And your mother isn't too pleased.
**[09:57] Shiori**
It was my first time ever disobeying her, so
it felt like my heart was going to burst!
**[10:04] Shiori**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[10:06] Shiori**
Here we are on this trip,
and we're talking about this!
**[10:10] Ichiro**
It's not like that!
**[10:11] Ichiro**
Well, that is, I don't mean you
should force yourself to cheer up.
**[10:15] Ichiro**
I realize you're concerned about the island,
**[10:18] Ichiro**
but also don't want to go back,
so it's okay for you to worry.
**[10:24] Ichiro**
It's hard to put into words,
**[10:26] Ichiro**
but if the island's weighing on your mind,
**[10:28] Ichiro**
I just wish there was a way for you to feel
better without necessarily going back.
**[10:33] Ichiro**
And I wonder what I can do about it.
**[10:46] Ichiro**
G-Goshiki-san! Um...
**[10:50] Shiori**
I feel better about it now.
**[10:52] Ichiro**
Why?
**[10:56] Shiori**
Because you know the way I feel.
**[11:02] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:15] Machi**
I slept so much!
**[11:17] Ichiro**
Good morning.
**[11:18] Machi**
Good morning. You got up early.
**[11:22] Ichiro**
Yeah, I was too wound up to sleep much.
**[11:27] Machi**
Kinda like a little kid.
**[11:31] Shiori**
What are you looking at?
**[11:35] Ichiro**
The photos from yesterday.
I sure did take a lot of them.
**[11:45] Shiori**
They're lovely! Could you send them to me?
**[11:48] Ichiro**
Of course.
**[11:50] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[11:53] Ichiro**

I'm in a serious relationship

**[12:53] Ichiro**
And so, it's nice to meet you!
**[13:00] Ichiro**
S-Sorry!
**[13:01] Ichiro**
I guess I couldn't stand
what she said to you!
**[13:05] Ichiro**
I wanted to tell her you're
more loved than that...
**[13:09] Ichiro**
*Man*, I should have been calmer!
**[13:11] Ichiro**
For the future's sake, I'd better
offer her a more proper greeting!
**[13:19] Ichiro**

I am loved, aren't I?
**[13:34] Machi**
You got that right!
**[13:35] Machi**
I don't know what's going on, but yay!
**[13:39] Shiori**
Thanks for being patient!
**[13:41] Shiori**
Let's head on out.
**[13:42] Machi/Fumio**
Okay!
**[14:00] Ichiro**
I-I'm taking it.
**[14:02] Shiori**
Okay.
**[14:05] Machi**
Shio-chan, take a picture!
**[14:08] Shiori**

Ichiro! Let's take a picture together!
**[14:50] islander 1**
Is it true, then?
**[14:52] islander 1**
Is the princess being
deceived by a villain?!
**[15:04] Miyako**
He made some teasing mention of
marriage and then hung up on me.
**[15:09] islander 3**
Who is this guy, a con artist?
**[15:11] islander 4**
They're out there, you know.
Matrimonial swindlers!
**[15:13] islander 5**
The princess is in danger.
Let's call her home immediately.
**[15:17] Miyako**
I will go and get her.
**[15:19] islander 1**
You personally, Miyako-sama?
**[15:21] islander 3**
You mustn't. What would become of the island?
**[15:24] islander 4**
Both Star Children gone at the same time?!
**[15:26] Miyako**
But do you think anyone else
can bring back the princess?
**[15:30] islander 2**
No, that would never work.
**[15:33] islander 3**
But Miyako-sama, surely you won't go alone?
**[15:36] Takeru**
We'll go with her.
**[15:38] islander 1**
Takeru-san!
**[15:40] Takeru**
I must speak to her, as her parent.
**[15:52] Miyako**
Shiori...
**[15:56] Shiori**
Lovely.
**[15:58] Shiori**
I want us to have a matching pair.

**[16:05] Machi**
We're gonna go check the chocolates!
**[16:07] Shiori**
Okay.
**[16:11] Shiori**
Kuga-san?
**[16:12] Ichiro**
Oh, yeah.
**[16:15] Ichiro**
You're getting a call.
**[16:18] Shiori**
Whatever. It's just my mother.
**[16:22] Shiori**
Don't worry about it so much.
**[16:24] Ichiro**
I do, though!
**[16:27] Ichiro**
I think I made things more complicated.
**[16:30] Ichiro**
It had to be a surprise, me jumping
in like that with no warning.
**[16:34] Ichiro**
Maybe now your relationship with
your family is even worse.
**[16:38] Shiori**
I was grateful, so please
don't talk that way.
**[16:42] Ichiro**
Well, it's not like
I wanted to pick a fight.
**[16:45] Ichiro**
If I'd really been thinking about you,
I'd have known not to ramble on irresponsibly.
**[16:50] Shiori**
I-Irresponsibly?
**[16:52] Shiori**
Does that mean you got caught up
in the heat of the moment?
**[16:55] Ichiro**
No. I've given it plenty of thought.
I just wish I had said it more tactfully.
**[17:03] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san?
**[17:05] Shiori**
I was very happy then.
**[17:07] Shiori**
That's good enough, so you don't
need to go regretting it!
**[17:11] Ichiro**
Well, it's reflection more than regret.
**[17:14] Ichiro**
Like, I should have thought
harder about it for your sake.
**[17:18] Shiori**
Wh-Why do you end up losing
confidence, Kuga-san?
**[17:23] Ichiro**
*Confidence!*
**[17:25] Shiori**
When you go red from shyness or smile
reservedly, it really touches me!
**[17:29] Ichiro**
Wait—
**[17:30] Shiori**
But there's no use brooding
over what's already done!
**[17:34] Ichiro**
B-Brooding?
**[17:36] Ichiro**
Well, I happen to think so, too.
**[17:39] Shiori**
What I'm trying to say is,
you're a very lovely person!
**[17:45] Ichiro**
That's what you say, but I've
never thought of myself that way.
**[17:51] Shiori**
Oh, no...
**[17:53] Ichiro**
But—
**[17:54] Shiori**
I don't want the one I love
to look down on himself!
**[18:04] Shiori**
K-Kuga-san!
**[18:05] Shiori**
Are you all right, Kuga-san?!
**[18:08] Ichiro**
R-Retribution again.
**[18:11] Ichiro**
I've had about enough...
**[18:16] Ichiro**
* Oh, it's the same imagery*
* as when I was first stung.*
**[18:20] Ichiro**
*She said then that I'd been "linked."*
**[18:26] Ichiro**
* Why is it the only means of*
* linking has to be so sad?*
**[18:35] Shiori**
Kuga-san, should I call someone?
**[18:37] Shiori**
Maybe it's best if you keep still.
**[18:41] Ichiro**
It's just anemia. I'm all right.
**[18:44] Shiori**
Oh.
**[18:46] Ichiro**
I made you angry...
**[18:49] Shiori**
It's because I was sad.
**[18:51] Ichiro**
*Oh, I made her sad.*
**[18:55] Ichiro**
Sorry, Goshiki-san.
**[18:56] Shiori**
No, I was the one who...
**[19:11] Ichiro**
D-Don't strain yourself.
**[19:13] Shiori**
I'm fine!
**[19:15] Shiori**
And I'm... I'm fed up with this!
**[19:18] Shiori**
We can't even argue with this dumb pact.
**[19:21] Ichiro**
Yeah, neither of us was at fault.
**[19:25] Shiori**
I know, right?!
**[19:30] Shiori**
You're smiling again. What's up?
**[19:33] Shiori**
You're the one this thing afflicts.
**[19:35] Ichiro**
Sorry, I just...
**[19:37] Ichiro**
I thought you were mad at me back there.
**[19:39] Shiori**
I'm sad.
**[19:41] Ichiro**
Yeah. I know that now.
**[19:43] Ichiro**
I just thought, seriously
angry people sure are pretty.
**[19:49] Shiori**
This... is no time for saying such things.
**[19:53] Ichiro**
Sorry.
**[19:54] Ichiro**
I've never thought of myself as lovely.
**[19:57] Shiori**
That again?
**[19:58] Ichiro**
But I do like myself quite
a bit for loving you.
**[20:03] Ichiro**
That's why I've got so much
rattling around in my head.
**[20:06] Shiori**
Huh.
**[20:08] Shiori**
All right, then. Sort out your thoughts.
**[20:12] Shiori**
And please come away from
it liking yourself a lot.
**[20:17] Machi**
Shio-chan!
**[20:19] Machi**
What's wrong, Ichiro?
**[20:21] sign**
You okay?
**[20:21] sign**
Lake Kawaguchi Souvenirs
**[20:22] Fumio**
Ichiro.
**[20:23] Shiori**
It's anemia.
**[20:25] Machi**
Huh?
**[20:25] Ichiro**
I got a little dizzy, but I'm fine now.
**[20:28] Machi**
Really?
**[20:29] Ichiro**
You bet!
**[20:32] Machi**
Well, all's well that ends well.
**[20:34] Machi**
These are for you two.
**[20:35] Ichiro**
These?
**[20:39] Machi**
Souvenirs for you.
**[20:40] Fumio**
For you.
**[20:42] Fumio**
To thank Shio-chan for the trip.
**[20:44] Fumio**
Don't you like having a matching pair?
**[20:48] Shiori**
Thank you!
**[20:50] Shiori**
I'll treasure it for life.
**[20:51] Machi**
Whoa, don't go overboard!
**[20:54] Shiori**
It makes me so happy!
**[20:56] Machi**
Maybe *too* happy!
**[21:00] Machi**
We've got to buy something for us, too!
**[21:04] Shiori**
The two of us are in love,
but we aren't all by ourselves.
**[21:10] Shiori**
Not as long as we have
Machi-chan and Fumi-kun.
**[21:14] Shiori**
I feel like I understand your
troubles a little better.
**[21:20] Shiori**
Are you willing to fight by my side?
**[21:23] Shiori**
It might mean going to
the island to annul the pact.
**[21:28] Shiori**
But even so, I want us to be rid
of the pact once and for all.
**[21:36] Ichiro**
Yeah, let's go together.
**[21:45] Machi**
Back home already.
**[21:47] Shiori**
Let's go visit again sometime.
**[21:50] Machi**
Huh?
**[21:51] Machi**
Someone's here.
**[21:53] Shiori**
We have a guest?
**[22:01] Miyako**
We're going home, Shiori.
**[22:04] Shiori**
M-M...
**[22:07] Shiori**
Mother?!
**[22:09] Ichiro/Machi**
"Mother"?!
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A long red thread stretching
into the distance
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Meeting you, even if it meant having
to cross hundreds of light-years
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe I'll slowly get used to
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
The two of us going out to have fun
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond
that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've
come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and
the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:45] Shiori**
This day has finally arrived!
**[23:47] Shiori**
The bigger the obstacles,
the hotter burns the love!
**[23:50] Ichiro**
Don't you think you read too much manga?
**[23:52] Shiori**
Come on! Overcome this obstacle with me!
**[23:55] Shiori**
Even should the flames surround us!

**[00:01] Miyako**
We're going home, Shiori.
**[00:03] Shiori**
M-M...
**[00:06] Shiori**
Mother?!
**[00:08] Ichiro/Machi**
"Mother"?!
**[00:13] Takeru**
Good evening. I am Shiori's father.
**[00:17] Miyako**
I am her mother.
**[00:19] Miyako**
Are you a friend of Shiori's?
**[00:21] Ichiro**
N-Nice to meet you! I'm Kuga,
I spoke to you over the phone.
**[00:26] Miyako**
That was you?
**[00:31] sign**
Princess
**[00:31] Shiori**
Word up.
**[00:33] Ichiro**
Yeah!
**[00:36] Takeru**
Somehow, I pictured him differently.
**[00:39] Miyako**
A-Anyway...
**[00:45] Machi**
I-I'm sorry!
**[00:48] Takeru**
Well, is this your family?
**[00:52] Ichiro**
My sister and brother.
**[00:59] Takeru**
Sorry to show up unannounced.
**[01:02] Takeru**
It must be bedtime for the children.
**[01:04] Ichiro**
I'm sorry, too,
**[01:06] Ichiro**
for speaking to you over the
phone the way I did.
**[01:11] Miyako**
We should reapproach this.
**[01:13] Miyako**
Could you spare some time tomorrow?
**[01:15] Ichiro**
O-Of course.
**[01:17] Ichiro**
Right?
**[01:22] Miyako**
See you tomorrow, then.
**[01:30] Shiori**
I'm sorry. That must have frightened you.
**[01:33] Machi**
No, I'm fine.
**[01:37] Shiori**
Fine, everything's fine.
**[01:41] Ichiro**
I-It *is* fine!
**[01:44] Ichiro**
We'll talk it all out!
**[01:56] [SONG] OP**
Looks like it started before I knew it
**[02:04] [SONG] OP**
Thanks to you, I'm all smiles
**[02:11] [SONG] OP**
The usual townscape lends
charm to the two of us
**[02:19] [SONG] OP**
Funny how it looks like a starry sky
**[02:28] [SONG] OP**
Suddenly buying flowers
**[02:30] [SONG] OP**
Standing around in the kitchen
**[02:32] [SONG] OP**
Sending a photo, because
the setting sun is pretty
**[02:35] [SONG] OP**
Trying to spend as much
time with you as I can
**[02:40] [SONG] OP**
This is all new for me
**[02:45] [SONG] OP**
I hope tomorrow is like today
**[02:51] [SONG] OP**
I've never felt this way before
**[02:57] [SONG] OP**
We'll go on a date this weekend if possible
**[03:03] [SONG] OP**
But it's fine if we stay home
**[03:10] [SONG] OP**
I can't wait to see you

**[03:23] Shiori**
I'm *not* going back, and that's final!
**[03:25] Ichiro**
Yeah, this is tricky.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Aya**
You must give Shiori her freedom.
**[03:33] Shiori**
Well, there's my grandmother's dying wish,
**[03:35] Shiori**
so I don't think there's
any forcing me to go.
**[03:38] Ichiro**
It holds that much sway?
**[03:40] Shiori**
Yes.
**[03:44] Shiori**
What worries me is that they might
do something to your family.
**[03:50] Ichiro**
I-I don't think that'll happen.
**[03:52] Ichiro**
They showed concern for Machi and Fumio.
**[03:55] Ichiro**
Also, this could be our chance.
**[04:00] Ichiro**
If we're going to annul the Engagement Pact,
**[04:03] Ichiro**
the ones who're most likely
to know how are here.
**[04:09] Shiori**
That's true.
**[04:12] Ichiro**
By the way, who's the one
you asked to look into it?
**[04:16] Shiori**
She came along with them.
**[04:24] Ichiro**
I wonder if your parents know
I'm in the pact with you.
**[04:27] Shiori**
No, the way they acted, I doubt they
know you ever touched my stinger.
**[04:33] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[04:35] Shiori**
Anyway, knowing how my mother thinks,
**[04:37] Shiori**
if we bring up canceling the pact,
she'll see it as us breaking up.
**[04:42] Ichiro**
So, we deceive them?
**[04:45] Shiori**
Kuga-san, there are people in this
world with whom there is no reasoning.
**[04:51] Ichiro**
A-All right.
**[04:54] Shiori**
Listen, we'll ask how to annul the pact.
**[04:58] Shiori**
Then, we'll have them leave in peace.
**[05:02] Shiori**
Those are tomorrow's objectives.
**[05:18] Shiori**
*I am the princess of the Star People.*
**[05:23] Ichiro**
*The time has finally come.*

Sorry to ask, Chibi-chan, but please
look after Machi and Fumio.
**[05:49] Chihiro**
Sure. See you later.
**[05:51] Ichiro**
Okay, we'll be back.
**[05:53] Machi**
Good luck!
**[05:55] Fumio**
Luck!
***SIGN*** Hiiragi Apartments
**[06:00] Ichiro**
See you later.
**[06:05] Machi**
I wonder if they'll be okay.
**[06:07] Fumio**
I'm nervous.
**[06:08] Chihiro**
I'm sure they'll be fine.
**[06:28] Takeru**
Hi.
**[06:32] Ichiro**
H-Hello.
**[06:34] Takeru**
I'm glad you came.
**[06:38] Shiori**
Where are the other two?
**[06:39] Takeru**
Waiting in the room.
Today's an important family-only affair.
**[06:44] Ichiro**
I-I'm thinking a fresh start and
a good conversation will help.
**[06:50] Miyako**
There is nothing to discuss with you.
**[06:55] Miyako**
Nor do we need to know anything about you.
**[07:00] Miyako**
Because your relationship
is out of the question.
**[07:08] Shiori**
You really are rude, Mother.
**[07:11] Shiori**
You're only allowed to behave
that way on the island.
**[07:14] Miyako**
There are no rude people on the island.
**[07:21] Takeru**
Both of you, calm down.
**[07:28] Ichiro**
Don't worry about me.
Focus on the objectives.
**[07:38] Shiori**
There's something I want
the two of you to know.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Shiori**
About the Engagement Pact.
**[07:44] (Flashback) Shiori**
Let's emphasize that you touched the
stinger while trying to help me.
**[07:52] Shiori**
I wrote about what wonderful a person
Kuga-san is, so please start by looking at this.
**[07:59] Ichiro**
Wait!
**[08:01] Shiori**
Why?
**[08:03] Ichiro**
It's going to seem a little suspicious,
so let's pass on that for now.
**[08:06] Shiori**
But this is necessary in order to explain.
**[08:10] Miyako**
Regardless of how you feel,
it's superficial in the end.
**[08:15] Miyako**
Kuga-san does not know who we truly are.
**[08:20] Miyako**
If an outsider knew what would
happen if he were joined with you,
**[08:23] Miyako**
he would turn tail and run.
**[08:28] Miyako**
He is no exception.
**[08:30] Shiori**
Even so, Kuga-san knows about my
background and he still accepts me!
**[08:39] Miyako**
Accepts you?
**[08:42] Ichiro**
Um, we'll explain things in order!
**[08:45] Miyako**
Don't tell me...
**[08:47] Miyako**
You blabbed about your
true identity to an outsider?!
**[08:51] Shiori**
For the record, it was only by
accident that he got stung!
**[08:55] Miyako**
Stung?!
**[08:58] Ichiro**
Like she said, an accident!
**[09:00] Miyako**
It's on her... backside, you know!
**[09:03] Miyako**
You know how sacred your stinger is.
**[09:08] Miyako**
How could you be so immoral?!
**[09:09] Shiori**
W-We still haven't gone that far!
**[09:12] Ichiro**
It's true! It was an accident!
**[09:15] Miyako**
You expect me to believe such an excuse?
**[09:21] Miyako**
Y-You're the partner in her Engagement Pact?
**[09:26] Miyako**
Shiori is the princess of the Star People.
**[09:28] Miyako**
A Star Child who will someday
reign over her people as queen.
**[09:32] Miyako**
Someone not of the island
has no right to touch her.
**[09:38] Miyako**
My poor daughter. You've been
taken in by a ne'er-do-well.
**[09:53] Shiori**
You never put any faith in me.
**[09:58] Shiori**
Enough of this!
**[10:02] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san!
**[10:03] Miyako**
Shiori!
**[10:04] Miyako**
Come back here!
**[10:07] Miyako**
Shiori!
**[10:21] (Flashback) Shiori**
Mother!
**[10:24] (Flashback) Shiori**
I'm the fastest runner in the lower grades!
**[10:28] (Flashback) Shiori**
Nobody can ever catch up to me!
**[10:31] (Flashback) Miyako**
Oh?
**[10:33] (Flashback) Shiori**
I also got first place on field day.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Shiori**
May I go play tag with everyone?
**[10:39] (Flashback) Miyako**
Shiori, what if you got hurt?
**[10:42] (Flashback) Miyako**
Besides, I'm sure you'd never be "it" in tag.
**[10:47] (Flashback) Shiori**
Are you trying to say they
all lose on purpose?
**[10:50] (Flashback) Miyako**
No.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Miyako**
You can do anything.
You are a wonderful person.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Miyako**
But you are a Star Child.
**[11:00] (Flashback) Miyako**
For everyone here, that
makes you irreplaceable.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Miyako**
So, be a good girl and go play in the house.
**[11:08] (Flashback) Miyako**
All right?
**[11:10] (Flashback) Shiori**
Yes, ma'am.
**[11:25] Shiori**
I'm sorry. So much for striving
towards those objectives.
**[11:31] Ichiro**
Yeah.
**[11:32] Ichiro**
Well, all that was... not easy, huh?
**[11:36] Ichiro**
Here.
**[11:38] Shiori**
Thank you.
**[11:42] Ichiro**
I'm not on speaking terms with my
own mother, so I know how you feel.
**[11:52] Ichiro**
But I mean, sometimes I do wish
she and I had a decent relationship.
**[11:59] Ichiro**
What about you?
**[12:01] Shiori**
Well for starters, it'd be
nice if I introduced you,
**[12:08] Shiori**
and they were happy I have a good boyfriend.
**[12:17] Takeru**
Hey!
**[12:22] Takeru**
Everything okay?
**[12:23] Ichiro**
Yes.
**[12:24] Ichiro**
Uh, is it okay for you two to be apart?
**[12:27] Takeru**
Oh, you mean that?
**[12:29] Takeru**
Right, right. You're in a pact, too.
**[12:33] Takeru**
You know about what happens.
**[12:35] Ichiro**
Right.
**[12:38] Takeru**
I'm fine.
**[12:39] Takeru**
Let's head back. Miyako's waiting.
**[12:42] Ichiro**
All right.
**[12:53] Miyako**
I know...
**[12:55] Miyako**
you would never thoughtlessly
yield yourself to another.
**[13:01] Miyako**
I apologize for what I said.
**[13:07] Shiori**
All right.
**[13:10] Miyako**
What accident?
**[13:12] Ichiro**
Please let me explain!
**[13:17] Miyako**
I see, you claim you were
trying to help her.
**[13:26] Miyako**
Even if you're trying to take responsibility,
this relationship is still meaningless!
**[13:31] Miyako**
The engagement is to be
annulled immediately!
**[13:34] Shiori**
Yes!
**[13:40] Miyako**
Huh?
**[13:41] Shiori**
We'll annul it.
**[13:43] Miyako**
You will?
**[13:45] Shiori**
We will.

**[14:02] Shiori**
In return...
**[14:04] Shiori**
There are still things I want to do here.
**[14:07] Miyako**
Well! Something similar might happen again!
**[14:12] Miyako**
I am against it!
**[14:14] Shiori**
Per the previous generation's
dying wish, I am free.
**[14:19] Miyako**
She's gone now.
**[14:21] Miyako**
What you want to do... Manga, was it?
**[14:25] Miyako**
Have you accomplished
anything these past months?
**[14:30] Miyako**
Have you drawn anything that anyone values?
**[14:34] Shiori**
W-Well...
**[14:37] Miyako**
Kuga-san, you know that we are the
guarantors on Shiori's lease, correct?
**[14:43] Ichiro**
Her father is, yes.
**[14:48] Miyako**
She's free, only with our financial support?
**[14:51] Miyako**
Yet there she sits,
enjoying every minute of it.
**[14:54] Miyako**
Your lifestyle here will render you useless.
**[14:59] Ichiro**
Excuse me.
**[15:01] Ichiro**
What's wrong with her enjoying herself?
**[15:08] Ichiro**
Uh, I mean, she's better at
communicating than I am.
**[15:11] Ichiro**
And she actively tries
to engage with others.
**[15:16] Ichiro**
She became friends with
my brother and sister.
**[15:20] Ichiro**
Also, she was nice enough to write welcome
letters to everyone when she moved in.
**[15:25] Ichiro**
She made a fortune-telling booth and
outfit using things we had on hand.
**[15:31] Miyako**
Fortune-telling?
**[15:32] Ichiro**
What I mean is: Things some would think are
too much effort or not worth the trouble...
**[15:39] Ichiro**
and other everyday things people forget,
she enjoys spotting those and acting on them.
**[15:45] Ichiro**
To me, she seems downright radiant.
**[15:55] Ichiro**
Also, she *has* been working.
**[15:59] Miyako**
Working?
**[16:01] Ichiro**
I brought these along.
**[16:04] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san did all the backgrounds
and treatments on these.
**[16:14] Shiori**
Kuga-san, they won't understand.
**[16:17] Shiori**
They've never read any manga.
**[16:21] Shiori**
These are art samples I got from
her to use as reference materials,
**[16:25] Shiori**
and this is work she did for another artist.
**[16:28] Miyako**
Another artist?
**[16:30] Ichiro**
Oh, I drew this one.

It's a pen name. That is...
**[16:40] Ichiro**
I am Momo-Tea Kokone!
**[16:44] Ichiro**
I-It's okay if you don't
understand right now!
**[16:46] Ichiro**
Like, how to read manga,
or how good the art is!
**[16:54] Ichiro**
She's working hard, and I'm
not demanding your approval!
**[16:57] Ichiro**
But I won't let you say these
past months have been for nothing!
**[17:06] Ichiro**
Of course, I understand that you're worried.
**[17:09] Ichiro**
I'd be a nervous wreck
if my sister or brother left home.
**[17:15] Ichiro**
But please...
**[17:18] Ichiro**
Could you give her time?
**[17:29] Takeru**
How about we try it for a year?
**[17:32] Takeru**
And we'll lower your allowance a bit,
**[17:35] Takeru**
so you can attempt to
really support yourself.
**[17:39] Takeru**
Will you support her so there
are no mishaps, Kuga-san?
**[17:42] Ichiro**
Yes! Of course!
**[17:46] Takeru**
How about it?
**[17:48] Miyako**
A new vow?
**[17:51] Miyako**
We'll give you another year, then.
**[17:56] Miyako**
We'll come and get you one year from now.
**[18:03] Shiori**
Thank you, Mother.
**[18:07] Shiori**
For now, that's enough.
**[18:13] Takeru**
Oh, yes.
**[18:15] Takeru**
We don't know any details about
annulling the pact, either.
**[18:19] Takeru**
When we get back to the island,
I'll send you documents that describe how.
**[18:23] Ichiro**
Thank you for helping us.
**[18:27] Takeru**
It doesn't mean I'm on your side, though.
**[18:32] Takeru**
The person I most want to support is Miyako.
**[18:35] Takeru**
Manga can be drawn on the island too, can't it?
**[18:39] Ichiro**
Yes...
**[18:47] Miyako**
I'm glad you're doing well.
**[18:55] Takeru**
Until next time.
**[19:04] Ichiro/Shiori**
I-It's over.
**[19:08] Shiori**
Accepting lopsided affection is exhausting.
**[19:15] (Flashback) Shiori**
Why do you end up losing
confidence, Kuga-san?
**[19:19] (Flashback) Shiori**
I don't want the one I love
to look down on himself!
**[19:26] Shiori**
My wanting you to have
confidence in yourself.
**[19:30] Shiori**
And my wanting you to be happy as a result.
**[19:33] Shiori**
That was pushy of me.
**[19:34] Ichiro**
I don't think this and
that are the same thing.
**[19:38] Ichiro**
No, yeah...
**[19:41] Ichiro**
Sorry I can't respond right away,
when you've shared so much with me.
**[19:47] Ichiro**
It's like it's a present I can't open,
because it's too good for me.
**[19:55] Shiori**
Well then, that means it's still there.
**[20:04] Shiori**
Thank you for holding on to it for me.
**[20:08] Shiori**
Thanks for being by my side today.
**[20:17] Ichiro**
Let's head home.
**[20:22] Machi**

**[20:35] Machi**
No, but thanks.
**[20:47] Machi**
The "relax and take it easy" color came up.
**[20:51] Fumio**
Easy.
**[20:55] Machi**
Shio-chan should just join our family.
**[21:00] Machi**
Does that means we'd have not just
a big brother, but a big sister, too?!
**[21:05] Machi**
That'd be sweet!
**[21:08] Machi**
Let's make a prayer!
**[21:11] Machi**
Here goes!
**[21:14] Machi**
* I've never seen a shooting star,*
* so we'll just make one of our own.*
**[21:19] Machi**
*May Shio-chan always be with us.*
**[21:24] Machi**
May we cheer up! May we
cheer up! May we cheer up!
**[21:32] Machi**
It's fine. Fortune-telling and
magic words shouldn't be too strong.
**[21:36] Fumio**
Yeah.
**[21:38] Machi**
*I'm sure my wish will come true.*
**[21:44] Machi**
They're back!
**[21:46] Fumio**
Back!
**[21:51] Machi**
How did it go?
**[21:53] Machi**
It went well, one way or another.
**[21:57] Shiori**
Yes, that it did.
**[21:59] Machi**
Good!
**[22:01] Fumio**
Good, good.
**[22:03] Chihiro**

It's finally arrived, the day
I annul my pact with Goshiki-san.
**[23:50] Ichiro**
But if we pull out the stinger...
**[23:53] Shiori**
How will Kuga-san feel...
**[23:55] Ichiro**
How will Goshiki-san feel...

**[03:13] Momiji**
Greetings.
**[03:16] Momiji**
I am Momiji Makado.
**[03:17] Keigo**
I'm Keigo Komaki...
**[03:20] Momiji**
We will perform the ceremony
to annul your pact.
**[03:25] Momiji**
Here's hoping it goes well.
**[03:27] Ichiro**
Thank you for coming all the way here.
**[03:30] Ichiro**
Please, come on inside—
**[03:33] Ichiro**
A-Are you all right?
**[03:36] Momiji**
Looks like he got seasick on the ship.
**[03:38] Momiji**
The waves were especially rough today.
**[03:40] Momiji**
Pull yourself together.
You're in front of the princess.
**[03:44] Shiori**
Komaki is one thing,
but Makado is on my side.
**[03:49] Ichiro**
That trusted staff member you mentioned...
**[03:53] Ichiro**
is Makado-san?
**[03:58] Momiji**
And so...
**[04:02] Momiji**
This is what we will use.
**[04:05] Shiori**
These are the forceps?
**[04:06] Momiji**
Yes, forceps made from
the island's Yobi stone.
**[04:11] Ichiro**
*Tweezers, huh?*
**[04:13] Momiji**
We will use the forceps to remove
the princess's stinger from you.
**[04:16] Momiji**
That's roughly what the ceremony involves.
**[04:19] Ichiro**
So, you need a ceremony to annul the pact.
**[04:23] Momiji**
Technically yes, but we will
prepare the site and the clothing.
**[04:28] Momiji**
You will not need to do much to prepare.
**[04:31] Momiji**
Please just follow our lead
on the day in question.
**[04:35] Ichiro**
Th-That's all we have to do?
**[04:38] Momiji**
Oh, Princess, are your
clothing sizes still the same?
**[04:42] Shiori**
Naturally.
**[04:43] Momiji**
May I take your measurements, Kuga-san?
**[04:46] Ichiro**
Oh, uh, sure.
**[04:48] Keigo**
Excuse me.
**[04:50] Keigo**
I'd like to use your bathroom.
**[04:55] Shiori**
Keigo, you need to get some rest.
**[05:01] Shiori**
I'll have him rest in my room.
**[05:03] Ichiro**
Okay. Hope you feel better.
**[05:05] Keigo**
I'm sorry, Princess...
**[05:08] Momiji**
Shall we, then?
**[05:21] Ichiro**
Um, what kind of clothing?
**[05:24] Momiji**
Traditional formal attire.
**[05:26] Momiji**
But we're short on time,
so it'll be ready-made.
**[05:29] Ichiro**
Well, I've never worn anything
fancier than a yukata.
**[05:33] Momiji**
It's extravagant, isn't it?
**[05:35] Momiji**
We just want the sacred Yobi stone to
be presented as sacredly as possible.
**[05:39] Momiji**
Location and attire don't
mean a thing, truth be told.
**[05:44] Ichiro**
Did Goshiki-san's grandmother
come up with the ceremony, too?
**[05:49] Momiji**
Yes.
**[05:51] Momiji**
Our previous leader Aya-sama
happened upon a shooting star,
**[05:54] Momiji**
and it granted her wish, bringing
tranquility and blessings to the islanders.
**[06:02] Ichiro**
Blessings...
**[06:03] Momiji**
When I say "blessing,"
I mean a beautiful world
**[06:08] Momiji**
where the islanders love Goshiki,
and they care for and help one another.
**[06:13] Momiji**
On the other hand, they've also
become insular, so in her later years,
**[06:18] Momiji**
Aya-sama seemed to have regrets
about what she had built.
**[06:24] Momiji**
I originally worked for Aya-sama,
so I want to be of help to the princess.
**[06:30] Momiji**
Sorry this is all so restrictive for you.
**[06:33] Ichiro**
Not at all.
**[06:35] Ichiro**
Anyway, thank goodness we
can finally annul the pact.
**[06:42] Ichiro**
I don't like how hard it makes
things for Goshiki-san.
**[06:46] Momiji**
You love her.
**[06:48] Ichiro**
Uh, well...
**[06:50] Momiji**
Even though a tool exists for it, as far as
I know this is the first ever pact annulment.
**[06:54] Momiji**
Therefore I can't be sure about this.
**[06:58] Momiji**
But it's possible the feelings you have for
each other are simply due to the pact.
**[07:07] Momiji**
But again, I can't be sure.
**[07:13] Shiori**
You could have just stayed
on the island, Keigo.
**[07:17] Keigo**
But I wanted to see you.
**[07:20] Keigo**
Miyako-sama was here too last time,
so you and I hardly got to talk.
**[07:27] Shiori**
You can feel free to take it easy.
**[07:30] Keigo**
Wait, please! It's been so long
since I've heard your voice!
**[07:35] Shiori**
It doesn't seem possible
to exchange thoughts here.
**[07:39] Keigo**
Princess.
**[07:42] Keigo**
Miyako-sama gave me this.
**[07:47] Keigo**
It's a piece of the Yobi stone.
**[07:49] Keigo**
She said with this, our minds should
be able to link even off the island.
**[07:54] Shiori**
*Keigo...*
**[07:58] Keigo**
*Everyone is waiting for you.*
**[08:00] Keigo**
*Princess!*
**[08:05] islanders**
*Princess!*
**[08:06] islanders**
*Your Highness!*
**[08:13] Shiori**
I'm sorry. I don't intend to go back.
**[08:17] Keigo**
Is it because of that man?
**[08:19] Keigo**
I mean, I guess even some outsiders
would be attracted to you,
**[08:24] Keigo**
but without a pact, there's no telling when
a guy like him would have a change of heart.
**[08:28] Shiori**
There's no chance of that.
**[08:30] Keigo**
But isn't his devotion due to the pact?
**[08:33] Keigo**
Once it's annulled,
I bet those feelings will vanish.

**[08:50] Ichiro**

* No, it's totally cool! I love*
* watching kids do their thing.*
**[11:28] Ichiro**

**[11:30] Momoka**

I'm just, you know,
going out with Goshiki-san.
**[11:40] Ichiro**
It's the first time I've ever felt
so strongly about someone else.
**[11:47] Ichiro**
When I think, what if this
situation might come to an end...
**[11:52] Ichiro**
It scares me.
**[11:54] Momoka**
*You're kidding me!
*You*, boasting about your love life?!*
**[11:58] Ichiro**
B-Boasting? Is that what I'm doing?
**[12:01] Momoka**

I mean, you look lovely, Princess!
**[16:16] Shiori**
Thank you.

Could you and I just...
**[16:20] Keigo**
I mean, I'll work hard!
**[16:22] Keigo**
So that I can be your choice.
**[16:26] Keigo**
So let's make *sure* today's
ceremony is a success!
**[16:41] Ichiro**
W-We're really doing it here?
**[16:43] Momiji**
Like I said, extravagant.
**[16:46] Ichiro**
Where are Goshiki-san's parents?
**[16:48] Momiji**
They haven't come. The family head can't
be away from the island for long.
**[16:53] Momiji**
Don't worry. We'll record it all
and show it to them.
**[17:05] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san.
**[17:09] Ichiro**
You okay?
**[17:12] Shiori**
Yes.
**[17:13] Ichiro**
You're not looking too well.
**[17:18] Shiori**
I'm fine.
**[17:20] Keigo**
Princess, this way.
**[17:29] Ichiro**
* We should have discussed*
* this more yesterday.*
**[17:46] Keigo**
The camera is ready.
**[17:50] Ichiro**
*At any rate, how* do*
you remove the stinger?*
**[17:54] Ichiro**
*Is this safe?*
**[18:02] Momiji**
We will now begin the
Stinger Removal Ceremony.
**[18:06] Momiji**
This sake is sacred to the island,
as it was dedicated to the Yobi stone.
**[18:10] Momiji**
It will cause the stinger that
stung Kuga-san to manifest.
**[18:20] Momiji**
Go on and drink.
**[18:21] Ichiro**
Oh, okay.
**[18:33] Momiji**
Now, we wait.
**[18:35] Ichiro**
Okay.
**[18:52] Ichiro**
What's this?!
**[18:53] Shiori**
Are you all right?!
**[18:54] Momiji**
Please pull on that, and extract it.
**[19:05] Shiori**
Please lift your hands if it hurts.
**[19:08] Ichiro**
I'm fine!
**[19:09] Ichiro**
Go on, do it!
**[19:10] Momiji**
Remain calm.
**[19:12] Keigo**
Gently, gently.
**[19:21] Ichiro**
Wait—
**[19:23] Ichiro**
*Now what? This is really happening.*
**[19:27] Ichiro**
* We know a bond linking us*
* together will be severed.*
**[19:31] Ichiro**
* I should have talked more*
* and gotten you to smile.*
**[19:35] Ichiro**
* Sorry I couldn't respond right away,*
* even though you share so much with me.*
**[19:40] Ichiro**
* It's like it's a present I can't open*
* because it's too good for me.*
**[19:46] Ichiro**
* I shouldn't have said I was too*
* embarrassed to accept them.*
**[19:49] Ichiro**
* Or that I wanted to hang*
* on to them for later.*
**[19:52] Ichiro**
* I should have opened the gifts*
* I was given and been happy!*
**[20:05] Ichiro**
*I want you to know I love you.*
**[20:34] Momiji**
It seems to have ended without incident.
**[20:48] Momiji**
Are you all right?
**[20:51] Shiori**
Good for you.
**[20:55] Shiori**
This means you're free now.
**[21:06] Shiori**
Tell me, do—
**[21:11] Shiori**
Do you still love me?
**[21:26] Ichiro**
I love you!
**[21:36] Shiori**
And I love you!
**[21:41] Keigo**
Y-You!
**[21:43] Momiji**
Yes, yes, our job is done.
**[21:46] Momiji**
Time to go.
**[21:48] Keigo**
P-Princess!
**[21:50] Keigo**
Princess!
**[21:53] Keigo**
Princess!
**[22:16] [SONG] ED**
A red thread winding around our legs
(nearby)
**[22:27] [SONG] ED**
Just as the tightly tied knot comes undone
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
Maybe if our feelings come together
**[22:45] [SONG] ED**
We can be like this forever
**[22:52] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
**[23:02] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've come closer together
**[23:08] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:12] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:25] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:31] [SONG] ED**
Cherished all the way
**[23:37] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
**[23:45] Machi**
Good for you, Ichiro and Shio-chan!
**[23:48] Fumio**
Happy.
**[23:49] Machi**
But will things work out in the end?
**[23:51] Fumio**
Oh no.
**[23:52] Ichiro**
Don't say things that make us anxious!
**[23:55] Shiori**
At last, the final episode.

**[00:07] Machi**
Good morning!
**[00:08] Fumio**
Morning.
**[00:11] Shiori**
Good morning.
**[00:15] Ichiro**
Don't be so clingy.
**[00:16] Machi**
Okay.
**[00:18] Machi**
See you later!
**[00:20] Fumio**
Later.
**[00:21] Shiori**
Have a nice day.
**[00:25] Ichiro**
Sorry. They're so relieved you
came back, they can't stay away.
**[00:30] Shiori**
Oh, I don't mind.
**[00:32] Shiori**
It's a pleasant sort of weight,
like paper secured by a paperweight.
**[00:40] Shiori**
So...
**[00:42] Shiori**
You're working today, right?
**[00:44] Ichiro**
Oh, yeah.
**[00:46] Ichiro**
I've got to turn in a rough draft.
**[00:49] Shiori**
Of course.
**[00:51] Ichiro**
I'll finish up before the day is done.
**[00:55] Ichiro**
Want to go out somewhere tomorrow?
**[01:00] Shiori**
*It'll be a date!*
**[01:04] Shiori**
I look forward to it!
**[01:18] [SONG] OP**
Looks like it started before I knew it
**[01:26] [SONG] OP**
Thanks to you, I'm all smiles
**[01:33] [SONG] OP**
The usual townscape lends
charm to the two of us
**[01:41] [SONG] OP**
Funny how it looks like a starry sky
**[01:50] [SONG] OP**
Suddenly buying flowers
**[01:52] [SONG] OP**
Standing around in the kitchen
**[01:54] [SONG] OP**
Sending a photo, because
the setting sun is pretty
**[01:57] [SONG] OP**
Trying to spend as much
time with you as I can
**[02:02] [SONG] OP**
This is all new for me
**[02:07] [SONG] OP**
I hope tomorrow is like today
**[02:13] [SONG] OP**
I've never felt this way before
**[02:19] [SONG] OP**
We'll go on a date this weekend if possible
**[02:25] [SONG] OP**
But it's fine if we stay home
**[02:32] [SONG] OP**
I can't wait to see you
***SIGN*** Episode 12

**[02:44] Shiori**
*All I have are black dresses.*
**[02:47] Shiori**
* This is our first date*
* since annulling the pact.*
**[02:50] Shiori**
*I want to make it one to remember!*
**[02:53] Shiori**
*I need a new date outfit!*
**[03:00] Chihiro**
Huh?
**[03:02] Chihiro**
Shiori-san?
**[03:04] Shiori**
Chibi-chan!
**[03:05] Chihiro**
Are you shopping?
**[03:07] Shiori**
All the details about money and materials
have me so dizzy, I don't know what's what.
**[03:14] Chihiro**
Where do you plan to wear the clothes?
**[03:16] Shiori**
On a date.
**[03:17] Chihiro**
Oh, gotcha.
**[03:20] Chihiro**
Want me to help you?
**[03:22] Shiori**
You'd be willing to?
**[03:29] Chihiro**
Dresses really seem like your thing.
**[03:32] Shiori**
I just realized, this is my first time
looking at clothes with a friend like this.
**[03:37] Chihiro**
It is?
**[03:43] Shiori**
I wonder what kind of
clothes Kuga-san likes.
**[03:46] Chihiro**
You seem like you'd wear what you
want no matter what others think.
**[03:50] Shiori**
W-Well, the past few days I've felt a
growing urge to appeal to him more.
**[03:57] Chihiro**
There's no need for all that. I think
Ichiro-kun would compliment any choice.
**[04:02] Shiori**
I-I know that.
**[04:05] Chihiro**
It might've been the Shichi-Go-San festival.
**[04:08] Chihiro**
I forgot I'd chosen an orange kimono,
**[04:11] Chihiro**
and on the day of, I was crying because
I wanted a light blue one instead.
**[04:15] (Flashback) Ichiro**
You know, you're like a flower
amongst all this green.
**[04:20] Chihiro**
He hasn't changed at all since then.
**[04:24] Chihiro**
So different from all the other guys.
**[04:29] Chihiro**
I mean he's really nice, that's all!
**[04:32] Chihiro**
It doesn't mean anything,
and he's my cousin anyway!
**[04:35] Chihiro**
Things just got kind of weird, huh?!
**[04:38] Shiori**
Chibi-chan, are you—
**[04:40] Chihiro**
Wait, wait!
**[04:41] Chihiro**
Um...
**[04:43] Chihiro**
I-I love him.
**[04:46] Chihiro**
But as if he's my brother and then some.
**[04:49] Chihiro**
With a longing for it
to go even beyond that.
**[04:53] Chihiro**
He's a bit older, and kind, and it was
just convenient to fall in love with him.
**[04:59] Chihiro**
Ichiro-kun is never going
to fall in love with me,
**[05:03] Chihiro**
so that actually leaves me free to love him.
**[05:06] Shiori**
You're incredible, Chibi-chan.
**[05:08] Shiori**
You know exactly what
shape your feelings take.
**[05:11] Chihiro**
That's why I was actually relieved
when he starting going out with you.
**[05:17] Chihiro**
This is the truth.
**[05:19] Chihiro**
I'm glad it was you.
**[05:21] Shiori**
I-I swear to cherish this love!
**[05:25] Chihiro**
You're swearing it to *me?*
**[05:27] Chihiro**
Oh, enough already!
**[05:29] Chihiro**
On to the next store!
**[05:30] Shiori**
Okay!
**[05:36] Ichiro**
All done!
**[05:38] Shiori**
I'm home.
**[05:42] Ichiro**
Welcome home. You two were together?
**[05:45] Chihiro**
We went shopping.
**[05:46] Shiori**
I was getting things together to
look nice for tomorrow's date.
**[05:50] Shiori**
I'm really going all out,
so I hope you look forward to it!
**[05:56] Chihiro**
Hey, you go and tell him *that?*
**[05:59] Shiori**
I'm just so happy!
**[06:02] Ichiro**
*Uh oh!*
**[06:04] Ichiro**
Machi, I gotta go out for a bit!
**[06:06] Machi**
Where are you going?
**[06:08] Fumio**
Ichiro, let's play.
**[06:09] Ichiro**
To Sano-kun's place. I'll be right back!
**[06:12] Fumio**
Aww...
**[06:14] Machi**
Want to play with me?
**[06:20] Sano**
Help you? With what?
**[06:23] Ichiro**
Teach me how to put more
work into my appearance!
**[06:28] Sano**
* This is how Kuga-san turns out*
* once he has a girlfriend?*
**[06:34] Sano**
Put together something promising
with clothes you have on hand.
**[06:37] Sano**
Shall we see what we can do
with your hair and eyebrows?
**[06:41] Ichiro**
Thank you!
**[06:44] Sano**
*He seems way more driven than usual.*
**[06:51] Shiori**
*I can say, "I only just got here!"*
**[06:54] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san!
**[06:56] Shiori**
Yes?
**[07:02] Ichiro**
*So cute!*
**[07:14] Ichiro**
Do I look weird?
**[07:20] Shiori**
No, it's just...
**[07:22] Shiori**
You look so lovely today,
I'm the one who's surprised.
**[07:26] Ichiro**
Really?
**[07:28] Ichiro**
You look totally cute yourself.
**[07:37] Shiori**
*This is bliss!*
**[07:39] Ichiro**
*I'm glad I put in the effort!*
**[07:44] Shiori**
*His hand...*
**[07:52] Ichiro**
Sorry. My palm's all sweaty.
**[07:54] Shiori**
I get it, I get it!
**[07:56] Ichiro**
It's kind of warm today.
**[08:03] Shiori**
This is skating?
**[08:04] Shiori**
I want to try it.
**[08:06] Ichiro**
I've never done it either.
**[08:08] Ichiro**
Let's give it a go.
**[08:16] Shiori**
This is difficult.
**[08:19] Ichiro**
I can't stand up.
**[08:20] Shiori**
*This is no time for holding hands.*
**[08:23] Shiori**
*One of us needs to improve in a hurry.*
**[08:29] Ichiro**
Oh, wow!
**[08:31] Ichiro**
You can already skate that well?
**[08:36] Shiori**
All I had to do was think of the frozen
ground showdown in *Master of the Lion's Fist*.
**[08:40] Ichiro**
Moka-nee would be happy to hear that.
**[08:44] Ichiro**
I still can't walk without support.
**[08:49] Shiori**
I'll be that support.
**[08:51] Ichiro**
No, you'll be in danger if I fall.
**[08:54] Ichiro**
I'll get the hang of this
a little more first.
**[08:57] Shiori**
O-Oh, okay.
**[09:07] girl**
Here goes!
**[09:08] Shiori**
*Lucky them.*
**[09:09] Shiori**
*I'd be okay falling with him.*
**[09:13] (Flashback) Chihiro**
...it was just convenient to
fall in love with him.
**[09:17] Shiori**
*It was probably the same for me.*
**[09:20] Shiori**
* First I had an ideal, and I chased the*
* joy of being able to experience it.*
**[09:22] Ichiro**
Woop.
**[09:25] Shiori**
*But now...*
**[09:29] Shiori**
*You can do it!*
**[09:34] Ichiro**
Thanks for waiting.
**[09:40] Ichiro**
What's wrong?
**[09:42] Shiori**
The night before the pact annulment,
**[09:45] Shiori**
I couldn't sleep because I was
thinking this love might end.
**[09:52] Ichiro**
And I was thinking,
I wish I had told you more.
**[09:56] Shiori**
Right.
**[09:58] Ichiro**
But I think in the end, unable to say more,
I'd still have done the same things.
**[10:04] Shiori**
I wanted you to be freed.
**[10:08] Shiori**
I never thought I'd choose to
let you go *because* I love you.
**[10:13] Ichiro**
Even if I had fallen in
love because of the pact,
**[10:16] Ichiro**
I think I'd fall in love
with you all over again.
**[10:19] Shiori**
Oh, my!
**[10:20] Ichiro**
Sorry I was too stubborn
to hold your hand earlier.
**[10:27] Ichiro**
I was thinking, with the pact gone,
I need to be even more careful.
**[10:32] Ichiro**
Or levelheaded, or something.
**[10:35] Shiori**
Why?
**[10:36] Ichiro**
I didn't want you to dislike me
for getting carried away.
**[10:39] Ichiro**
Because it was already
at risk of ending once.
**[10:42] Shiori**
That won't happen.
**[10:44] Ichiro**
That's why I want to keep doing this.
**[10:48] Shiori**
This?
**[10:50] Ichiro**
Letting you know things.
**[10:52] Ichiro**
I want to hold your hand.
**[10:57] Shiori**
Sure!
**[11:12] Ichiro**
I'm home!
**[11:15] Machi**
Welcome home!
**[11:16] Fumio**
Home.
**[11:18] Ichiro/Shiori**
We're back.
**[11:21] Ichiro**
I bet you're hungry, huh? Let's eat soon.
**[11:24] Shiori**
We picked up some yummy food.
**[11:27] Ichiro**
My muscles are aching.
**[11:29] Shiori**
You worked *too* hard at it.
**[11:31] Ichiro**
Ow, ow.
**[11:34] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, why aren't *you* in pain?
**[11:41] Ichiro**
We had *too* much fun last month.
**[11:45] Ichiro**
I spent more than I realized
at New Years and on the trip.
**[11:50] Ichiro**
We've gotta cut back on spending this month!
**[11:52] Machi**
He looks busy.
**[11:55] Fumio**
Ichiro.
**[11:57] Ichiro**
You guys are home?
**[11:59] Machi**
We're going to go play at the park.
**[12:02] Ichiro**
Both of you?
**[12:03] Machi**
Yuina-chan, Sakura-chan,
and Ren-kun will be there.
**[12:07] Ichiro**
Okay, be careful.
**[12:09] Machi**
We will.
**[12:11] someone**
Wait up!
**[12:17] Ren**
Huh? Looks like rain, doesn't it?
**[12:22] Yuina**
Want to play at my place, then?
**[12:23] Sakura**
Can we? I want to go, Yuina-chan!
**[12:27] Machi**
I might head home.
**[12:29] Yuina**
Oh, Fumio-kun can come too,
of course. Let's all go.
**[12:33] Machi**
Um...
**[12:35] Yuina**
You didn't get to go skiing
that time either, Machi-chan.
**[12:38] Yuina**
Did you ask your family if you can
go on the amusement park trip?
**[12:44] Yuina**
Well, it's okay.
**[12:46] Machi**
Yeah, sorry.
**[12:49] Yuina**
See you!
**[12:50] Sakura**
Bye-bye!
**[12:53] Machi**
Let's go.
**[12:55] Shiori**
* I happened to be passing by,*
* but something's up with Machi-chan.*
**[13:01] Machi**
We're home.
**[13:05] Ichiro**
That was quick.
**[13:08] Machi**
It looks like rain, so we called it a day.
**[13:11] Machi**
Weren't you doing laundry?
**[13:12] Ichiro**
Oh, yeah! I'd better bring it in.
**[13:15] Machi**
Oh, I'll do it.
**[13:17] Ichiro**
It's no problem.
**[13:22] Shiori**
I'm home.
**[13:25] Machi**
You were watching, Shio-chan?
**[13:28] Shiori**
Uh...
**[13:30] Machi**
You were listening?
**[13:32] Shiori**
Yes, just a little.
**[13:35] Machi**
Don't tell Ichiro.
**[13:37] Machi**
It's out of character for me to
turn down my friends, you might say.
**[13:41] Shiori**
Character?
**[13:43] Shiori**
Are you saying you're unexpectedly shy?
**[13:47] Machi**
Just promise me!
**[13:53] Shiori**
Machi-chan...
**[13:55] Machi**
Dog!
**[13:57] Machi**
Fumio, you're good!
**[14:00] Machi**
Want to go again?
**[14:02] Fumio**
Ichiro should play, too.
**[14:04] Machi**
No, no!
**[14:05] Machi**
Didn't he look busy?
**[14:08] Machi**
Come on. Let's get something to drink.
**[14:12] Machi**
*In the end, it didn't rain anyway.*
**[14:18] Shiori**
*The way Machi-chan was with her friends...*
**[14:21] Shiori**
*Hold on.*
**[14:23] Shiori**
*Is there some trouble between them?!*
**[14:28] Fumio**
It's good.
**[14:33] Machi**
What's up?
**[14:35] Shiori**
I'll keep your secret, but...
**[14:40] Shiori**
It makes me sad to think something
might be distressing you.
**[14:45] Machi**
I-I'm not distressed!
**[14:47] Machi**
It's just, out there they
know me as being all cool.
**[14:50] Shiori**
But...
**[14:51] Machi**
Oh. Do you think I didn't go play
because we don't get along?
**[14:55] Shiori**
W-Well...
**[14:57] Machi**
Not at all!
**[14:58] Machi**
They're all good kids, so everything's fine!
**[15:01] Machi**
More like, I'm not big on going
to other peoples' houses.
**[15:05] Machi**
And it's more fun playing with Fumio.
**[15:07] Machi**
Right, Fumio?
**[15:13] Fumio**
I'll play with Shio-chan.
Machi, you can go over.
**[15:22] Machi**
Why would you say a thing like that?!
**[15:32] Ichiro**
I just felt a chill.
**[15:38] Shiori**
Kuga-san.
**[15:40] Ichiro**
Wh-Wh-What happened?!
**[15:43] Ichiro**
I see.
**[15:45] Ichiro**
You were invited to go play,
but you turned them down.
**[15:49] Ichiro**
Fumio, you thought Machi could
go play if you stayed behind?
**[15:57] Ichiro**
Machi, did you turn it down
out of consideration for me?
**[16:02] Machi**
I-It wasn't for your sake.
**[16:05] Machi**
It's because I like playing with Fumio.
**[16:08] Ichiro**
Yes, I know how fond you are of Fumio.
**[16:11] Ichiro**
I'm sorry, though.
**[16:14] Machi**
I meant it, it's not that!
**[16:17] Machi**
I mean, you...
**[16:19] Machi**
Everything you do is for our sake!
**[16:23] Machi**
I can help out, too!
**[16:26] Ichiro**
I-I... really am hopeless.
**[16:30] Machi**
No, you're not!
**[16:32] Ichiro**
Well, I was trying my best not to
make you and Fumio feel that way.
**[16:39] Ichiro**
But I must have seemed stretched so thin,
you felt you had to deny yourself.
**[16:44] Ichiro**
Now, I kind of understand.
**[16:47] Ichiro**
I have someone else who's important in my life,
and it made me lose sight of what's going on.
**[16:53] Ichiro**
I must have made you and Fumio sad.
**[16:56] Machi**
We're not sad, we're happy!
**[16:59] Fumio**
We love Shio-chan.
**[17:02] Ichiro**
Thank you.
**[17:04] Ichiro**
Hey, Machi.
**[17:06] Ichiro**
Next time you're worried,
be sure to tell me.
**[17:10] Ichiro**
You know how with cake, I get
a bigger piece than Fumio?
**[17:14] Ichiro**
This is the same. If you've got trouble,
let me handle the biggest third.
**[17:19] Machi**
Sure.
**[17:22] Machi**
Then that means, my piece
is bigger than Fumio's.
**[17:26] Ichiro**
Uh, well...
**[17:30] Machi**
Fumio.
**[17:34] Machi**
Sorry I started crying.
**[17:38] Fumio**
It's okay.
**[17:40] Shiori**
What kind of playtime have
you been turning down?
**[17:45] Machi**
Let's see, with going over to someone's house,
getting permission seems like a pain.
**[17:51] Machi**
And then there's...
**[17:52] Fumio**
Fireworks.
**[17:53] Machi**
Huh? You mean at the summer festival?
**[17:59] Ichiro**
* I had to work that day, and they were saying*
* the view from the apartment was bad.*
**[18:05] Ichiro**
*I didn't know she'd been invited to go.*
**[18:07] Shiori**
Summer festival, fireworks!
**[18:09] Shiori**
That's lovely!
**[18:11] Ichiro**
Let's take part next time. I want to go, too.
**[18:15] Machi**
Let's go next time.
**[18:16] Shiori**
Listen.
**[18:18] Shiori**
Why don't we have a festival right away?
**[18:27] Momoka**
A festival? I want in!
**[18:30] Shiori**
Momoka-san's on board.
**[18:32] Machi/Fumio**
Yeah!
**[18:33] Shiori**
Let's invite Sano-san, too!
**[18:35] Machi/Fumio**
Yeah!
**[18:40] Chihiro**
So we're having a summer
festival in the winter, huh?
**[18:44] Ichiro**
Yeah, well...
**[18:46] Ichiro**
It's just us eating fried noodles outside
and setting off fireworks, though.
**[18:49] Chihiro**
It's a Shiori-san thing to do.
**[18:51] Momoka**
Hello.
**[18:53] Sano**
'Sup?
**[18:54] Ichiro/Shiori**
Welcome.
**[18:55] Momoka**
We brought fireworks!

Fireworks Set
**[18:56] sign**
6 types of
handheld fireworks
**[18:57] Ichiro**
Thanks! You too, Sano-kun.
**[19:00] Sano**
I was happy to be invited.
**[19:03] Machi**
A pool in winter? That's weird.
**[19:06] Fumio**
Are we getting in?
**[19:07] Sano**
We're putting in water
balloons, not you guys.
**[19:10] Sano**
Want to fish for them?
**[19:11] Machi/Fumio**
I do!
**[19:13] Sano**
But it's cold, so let's add hot water.
**[19:16] Fumio**
Cold...
**[19:17] Ichiro**
*Good, they're having fun.*
**[19:24] Momoka**
The noodles are great!
**[19:27] Sano**
It *does* feel like a festival.
**[19:28] Machi**
Fumio! Isn't this fun?
**[19:30] Fumio**
Yeah.
**[19:30] Honami**
Wow, what's all this?
**[19:31] Momoka**
Way to go!
**[19:32] Ichiro**
Sorry to do this unannounced!
**[19:35] Honami**
That's okay.
**[19:36] Shiori**
Honami-san!
**[19:38] Shiori**
We're holding a wintertime summer festival.
**[19:40] Shiori**
Care to join us?
**[19:42] Honami**
If you say so, Goshiki-chan, I just might.
**[19:47] Ichiro**
When did you two get so close?
**[19:49] Shiori**
We met up by chance in
the middle of the night,
**[19:51] Shiori**
and she taught me how to do my nails.
**[19:53] Shiori**
She has such delicate, lovely skills,
and she's really nice.
**[20:00] Machi**
Shio-chan!
**[20:01] Shiori**
Coming!
**[20:04] Ichiro**
*So...*
**[20:06] Machi**
Shio-chan, do you know
how to fish with this?
**[20:06] Ichiro**
*Goshiki-san is the one who was set free.*
**[20:08] Shiori**
Oh, neat!
**[20:10] Ichiro**
* I never could have held*
* this festival myself.*
**[20:13] Machi**
Ichiro!
**[20:16] Fumio**
Fireworks.
**[20:17] Fumio**
Let's go.
**[20:24] Machi**
Thank you.
**[20:26] Ichiro**
For what?
**[20:27] Machi**
"For what?" For every day.
**[20:31] Machi**
From "good morning" to the next
"good morning." Every day.
**[21:17] Momoka**
This was so much fun.
**[21:19] Sano**
Oh, yeah.
**[21:21] Ichiro**
Thanks for today.
**[21:22] Shiori**
And thank you.
**[21:24] Shiori**
I'm happy you went along
with my random idea.
**[21:28] Ichiro**
I never could have gotten things together
for a festival like this myself.
**[21:33] Shiori**
It took more than just me to make
something like this a success.
**[21:38] Ichiro**
It's really true.
**[21:40] Ichiro**
There are people around me
who are willing to help.
**[21:44] Ichiro**
I've realized a lot of things,
thanks to you.
**[21:47] Shiori**
I-I'm apparently the type
to run wild with things.
**[21:51] Shiori**
Your cautious nature
balances that out perfectly.
**[21:56] Ichiro**
Goshiki-san, you can go anywhere
you want on your own now.
**[22:00] Ichiro**
Keep on running wild.
That really makes me happy.
**[22:05] Shiori**
You're right.
**[22:06] Shiori**
There are many places I want to go
and things I want to do.
**[22:10] Shiori**
I'll work hard and get to where
I can support myself, and then...
**[22:16] Shiori**
I want to be the one to propose to you!
**[22:24] Ichiro**
*Oh, man. I can't keep up.*
**[22:28] Ichiro**
All right.
**[22:30] [SONG] ED**
A red thread winding around our legs
(nearby)
**[22:36] Machi**
Congrats!
**[22:38] Fumio**
Grats.
**[22:39] everyone**
Congrats!
**[22:41] Shiori**
Thank you, everyone!
**[22:42] [SONG] ED**
Just as the tightly tied knot comes undone
**[22:44] Shiori**
I'll do my best!
**[22:45] Ichiro**
Everyone, hey...
**[22:49] Ichiro**
Thank you!
**[22:53] [SONG] ED**
Maybe if our feelings come together
**[23:00] [SONG] ED**
We can be like this forever
**[23:07] [SONG] ED**
A tug on my arm, by the bond that was formed that day
**[23:16] [SONG] ED**
A little at a time, we've come closer together
**[23:22] [SONG] ED**
More smiles for us
**[23:27] [SONG] ED**
That place I first learned of, and the shops we'll visit again tomorrow
**[23:40] [SONG] ED**
They'll all be part of these lovely days
**[23:46] [SONG] ED**
Cherished all the way
**[23:52] [SONG] ED**
Looking forward to it, good night
