**[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*** Fireworks with the Princess
**[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!
**[18:56] sign**
Fireworks Set
**[18:56] sign**
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
