**[00:16] Komichi**
Hey!
**[00:17] Komichi**
Good morning!
**[00:52] Komichi**
*If I can be like the idol, Miki-chan,*
**[00:56] Komichi**
*and be just as cool and successful*
**[00:59] Komichi**
*when I*
**[01:01] Komichi**
*start at my new school...*
**[01:07] Komichi**
*I can make lots...*
**[01:09] Komichi**
*and lots...*
**[01:10] Komichi**
*and lots...*
**[01:17] Komichi**
*of friends!*
**[01:20] Komichi**
*Yes!*
**[01:21] Komichi**
*I did it!*
**[01:27] Komichi**
Wow, this water's cold.
**[01:30] Taira**
I wondered who I just saw fall down there.
**[01:34] Komichi**
Hi, Taira-san!
**[01:35] Taira**
Should've known it was you, Komichi.
**[01:37] Komichi**
Oh, I was just, uh...
**[01:39] Komichi**
practicing swimming while fully clothed.
**[01:43] Taira**
I'll give you a lift home. Hop in the back.
**[01:48] Taira**
I hear you got into the middle
school you tested for.
**[01:51] Komichi**
Yeah, Roubai Academy.
**[01:53] Akebi**
It's a private school!
**[01:55] Taira**
I heard it's a tough school.
Didn't your mother go there?
**[01:59] Komichi**
Yeah. That's why I'm so happy I got in!
**[02:03] Taira**
Are you, now?
**[02:04] Komichi**
They say each class has more
than ten students in it!
**[02:08] Komichi**
I can't even imagine it!
**[02:10] Taira**
Well, you were always the
only kid in your class
**[02:12] Taira**
back at Futaba Elementary.
**[02:15] Taira**
Good for you!
**[02:18] Komichi**
Yeah!

I-I'm home.
**[02:39] Kao**
Mom, Onee-chan's home!
**[02:43] Yuwa**
Hmm...
**[02:45] Yuwa**
Her footsteps sound a bit fishy, don't they?
**[02:48] Kao**
I'll go look!
**[02:52] Yuwa**
You're such a tomboy!
**[02:54] Yuwa**
Who did you take after, anyway?
**[02:57] Yuwa**
Oh, right.
**[02:58] Yuwa**
Your dad sent a message to congratulate you.

Really?

Yay!
**[03:26] Komichi**
I can't trust anyone anymore...
**[03:32] Komichi**
Hi, Dad?
**[03:35] Komichi**
Yeah. How was work?
**[03:39] Komichi**
Uh-huh...
**[03:41] Komichi**
Maybe so, but I wasn't
sleeping the *whole* time!
**[03:44] Yuwa**
That's your complaint?
**[03:45] Komichi**
I was studying!
**[03:47] Komichi**
You'd better save some cuter
pictures of me next time.
**[03:54] Komichi**
Oh...
**[03:55] Komichi**
I just thought of something...
**[03:57] Komichi**
but it's a secret for now.
**[03:59] Komichi**
Uh-huh.
**[04:00] Komichi**
Okay. Got it.
**[04:02] Komichi**
Talk to you later, then.
**[04:05] Kao**
What'd he say?
**[04:06] Komichi**
That he'll do his best at work,
so he can be home by next month.
**[04:10] Kao**
Yay!
**[04:13] Yuwa**
Well, then, ready for the thing
you've been waiting for?
**[04:15] Kao**
Yay! Yay!
**[04:17] Komichi**
Yeah.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Komichi**
I chose Roubai Academy because I've
always wanted to wear a sailor uniform!
**[04:27] Komichi**
* I was really nervous at*
* my exam and interview,*
**[04:32] Komichi**
*but now I finally get to wear one!*
**[04:37] Komichi**
* I wonder if even someone like*
* me can look good in one.*
**[04:43] Kao**
Stand up straight! She can't measure you!
**[04:46] Komichi**
Wh-What do you think?
**[04:48] Yuwa**
Hmm...
**[04:50] Yuwa**
You've gained weight.
**[04:51] Komichi**
What?!
**[04:52] Yuwa**
You did spend a lot of time
sitting down to study.
**[04:55] Komichi**
No! No way! I'll drop the weight! I swear!
**[04:57] Yuwa**
Get changed. It's time to go.
**[05:00] Kao**
Time to go!
**[05:01] Komichi**
Measure me again later!
**[05:05] Komichi**
I mean, you're going to all the
trouble of making it for me.
**[05:09] Komichi**
I can't let it go to waste.
**[05:11] Kao**
Even in her sleep, all she's been
talking about is sailor uniforms.
**[05:14] Komichi**
Kao!
**[05:15] Kao**
She was yapping so much, I couldn't sleep.
**[05:19] Yuwa**
Well, wearing a sailor uniform
has always been your dream.
**[05:23] Komichi**
Yeah!
**[05:24] Yuwa**
So I really have to do a good job on it.
**[05:27] Komichi**
What were the kids at Roubai
Academy like when you were there?
**[05:31] Yuwa**
A lot of them were really interesting.
**[05:33] Yuwa**
There were a lot of rich, classy kids, too.
**[05:37] Komichi**
The total opposite of me!
**[05:39] Komichi**
Will I even be able to talk to them?
**[05:41] Yuwa**
I went in every day thinking,
"Time to flip the hierarchy!"
**[05:43] Yuwa**
Like I was preparing for war.
**[05:49] Komichi**
But I'm not as strong as you are, Mom.

**[05:55] Yuwa**
All you need is confidence and a smile.
**[05:59] Yuwa**
Okay, let's look for some fabric.
**[06:03] Komichi**
There are so many bolts of fabric!
**[06:11] Komichi**
One of these is going to be my...
**[06:13] Yuwa**
Here it is!
***SIGN*** Chambray

***SIGN*** Serge/
Gabardine
**[06:14] Komichi**
That was quick!
**[06:15] Yuwa**
This is a type of fabric called "serge."
**[06:17] Yuwa**
We'll make the sailor collar,
skirt, and cuffs from this.
**[06:22] Komichi**
This is gonna become my sailor suit!
**[06:27] Yuwa**
And this one is called "gabardine."
**[06:29] Yuwa**
We'll use it for the body and sleeves.
**[06:31] Yuwa**
There are a few different shades of white.
**[06:34] Yuwa**
That's just a matter of preference.
**[06:35] Komichi**
I like the bolder one on the left!
**[06:40] Komichi**
It's so shimmery and smooth!
**[06:42] Komichi**
Isn't fabric shopping fun, Mom?
**[06:45] Komichi**
Whoa...
**[06:46] Yuwa**
I think the ribbon should
be on the larger side.
**[06:49] Yuwa**
It'll look cute.
**[06:50] Komichi**
Uh-huh!
**[06:51] Kao**
Onee-chan, do you need help?
**[06:52] Komichi**
Nah, I'm totally fine.
**[06:54] Yuwa**
It's the stripes that make a sailor uniform.
**[06:56] Komichi**
Wait, wait!
**[07:00] Komichi**
Mom! I like this one!
**[07:06] Kao**
You've been humming all day.
**[07:07] Komichi**
Huh?
**[07:08] Kao**
It's nice that you're happy,
but think about how I feel.
**[07:12] Komichi**
Y-You're right.
**[07:15] Komichi**
You had to be patient and wait
the whole time I was studying.
**[07:17] Komichi**
I'll be more careful.
**[07:20] Kao**
You won't be able to go to
school with me anymore.
**[07:23] Kao**
Doesn't that make you sad?
**[07:32] Komichi**
Didn't you say you were
excited to go by yourself?
**[07:35] Kao**
No.
**[07:36] Komichi**
You did, though...
**[07:40] Kao**
Well, it makes me kinda sad.
**[07:48] Komichi**
You'll be in third grade, huh?
**[07:51] Kao**
And you'll be in your first year again!
**[07:54] Komichi**
Yep, that's right.
**[07:56] Komichi**
You know what? I'm just
as nervous as I am happy.
**[08:01] Komichi**
I don't know if I'll be
able to make friends.
**[08:04] Komichi**
A lot of kids from Tokyo go there.
**[08:06] Komichi**
I can't help wondering if
I'll be able to keep up.
**[08:10] Kao**
You don't have to worry about that.
**[08:13] Kao**
'Cause you're really cool!
**[08:17] Komichi**
Thanks.
**[08:18] Kao**
Hey! You don't even believe me, do you?
**[08:21] Kao**
Believe it!
**[08:26] Komichi**
Okay. I will.
**[08:29] Komichi**
We'll both be on our own. Let's do our best.
**[08:32] Kao**
'Kay!
**[08:37] Yuwa**
Komichi...
**[08:39] Yuwa**
Got a minute?
**[08:41] Komichi**
It's done already?
**[08:43] Yuwa**
Not yet.
**[08:44] Yuwa**
This is known as "tacking."
**[08:46] Yuwa**
We use a different fabric to get all the
details set before making the real one.
**[08:50] Komichi**
I didn't know making a
uniform was so much work.
**[09:02] Komichi**
Mom!
**[09:03] Komichi**
The laundry's done!
**[09:05] Komichi**
I'll do the cleaning, too!
**[09:09] Yuwa**
Uh, thanks...
**[09:12] Komichi**
Mom, I'll do the dishes!
**[09:14] Komichi**
Mom, I'm almost done!
**[09:16] Komichi**
Mom!
**[09:21] Kao**
Onee-chan, you're wasting water!
**[09:35] Yuwa**
Komichi...
**[09:37] Yuwa**
Come on over here.
**[09:50] Yuwa**
And now...
**[09:53] Yuwa**
It's done.
**[09:56] Yuwa**
Here, try it on.
**[10:00] Komichi**
O-Okay.
**[10:06] Yuwa**
I'll be waiting downstairs.
**[11:21] Kao**
Hey, I like this one.
**[11:24] Yuwa**
Don't you think you're a little too young for that?
**[11:26] Kao**
It's fine!
**[11:34] Kao**
Onee-chan, you look so cool!
**[11:40] Yuwa**
Komichi, does it fit okay?
**[11:43] Komichi**
Yeah...
**[11:48] Komichi**
Yeah.
**[11:52] Komichi**
Thank you.

**[12:02] Yuwa**
A few things have changed,
but it really brings back memories.
**[12:06] Komichi**
I'm so nervous.
**[12:10] Komichi**
I wonder if she's a new student... Wait...
**[12:14] Komichi**
Huh?
**[12:16] Komichi**
Blazers?
**[12:18] Yuwa**
Komichi...
**[12:19] Yuwa**
Is there some other event going on today?
**[12:22] Komichi**
N-No...
**[12:25] Principal**
Allow me to congratulate you all on
your acceptance into this school.
**[12:29] Principal**
As of today, you are all
students of Roubai Academy.
**[12:33] Yuwa**
*Komichi!*
**[12:34] Principal**
For many years, this school has prepared
many excellent students for...
**[12:35] Komichi**
*Mom!*
**[12:42] Yuwa**
We're back.
**[12:44] Kao**
Welcome home!
**[12:46] Kao**
Onee-chan, how'd it go?
**[12:48] Komichi**
Sorry, not now.
**[12:51] Kao**
What's wrong with her?
**[12:53] (Flashback) Yuwa**
I'm so sorry I didn't confirm
what the uniform was first!
**[12:57] (Flashback) Principal**
Well, the students did wear sailor
uniforms when you attended here.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Principal**
It's quite understandable.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Principal**
Besides, we've known since the interview that
Komichi-san dreamed of wearing a sailor uniform.
**[13:08] (Flashback) Principal**
It's our fault for not
informing her at that time.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Principal**
I understand Yuwa-san made it for you?
**[13:18] (Flashback) Komichi**
Yes! We picked out the
fabrics together, and...
**[13:22] (Flashback) Principal**
I see.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Principal**
My mother made my school uniform, too.
**[13:27] (Flashback) Principal**
It made me so very happy.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Principal**
Considering the circumstances,
**[13:33] (Flashback) Principal**
the school will permit Komichi-san
to wear her sailor uniform.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Tamura**
Principal?!
**[13:39] (Flashback) Principal**
It is an accepted uniform of this school,
albeit one from the past.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Principal**
We have no reason to forbid it.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Principal**
But I will leave the final decision
to Komichi-san and her family.
**[13:53] Komichi**
*It'll only be me. That's just...*

Huh?
**[19:00] Erika**
I mean... you saw me, didn't you?
**[19:03] Erika**
When I was smelling my own
feet on the nail clippers.
**[19:06] Komichi**
*That's what she was doing?*
**[19:08] Komichi**
Sure. I won't tell anyone.
**[19:11] Komichi**
But... do your feet smell that much?
**[19:13] Erika**
D-Don't question me about it!
**[19:15] Erika**
I'm embarrassed enough!
**[19:17] Komichi**
I think I'm curious now, too.
**[19:20] Erika**
Hey!
**[19:22] Komichi**
I ran here, so I think they
might smell a little sweaty.
**[19:26] Komichi**
I can see how you'd get into it, though!
**[19:31] Erika**
You're kind of interesting.
**[19:33] Komichi**
*No way! I did it, Kao!*
**[19:35] Komichi**
*She called your sister "interesting"!*
**[19:39] Erika**
Hey... Would you mind talking
with me a little more?
**[19:45] Erika**
Oh... So you're going to wear
the sailor uniform from now on?
**[19:50] Erika**
That's pretty gutsy.
**[19:53] Komichi**
You're Kizaki Erika-san,
and you're from T-Tokyo.
**[19:57] Komichi**
Th-That's amazing!
**[19:58] Erika**
You're taking notes?
**[20:00] Erika**
You're very diligent, Akebi-san.
**[20:06] Komichi**
Y-Your nail clippers are really cute.
**[20:08] Komichi**
Do you carry them around all the time?
**[20:10] Erika**
No, this is the first time.
**[20:12] Erika**
In my room at home,
when I get anxious or nervous,
**[20:16] Erika**
I end up clipping my nails.
**[20:20] Erika**
This clicking sound just...
**[20:23] Erika**
relaxes me somehow.
**[20:29] Komichi**
Were you anxious just now?
**[20:31] Erika**
Huh?
**[20:34] Erika**
Well... with all the firsts
I'm experiencing today,
**[20:38] Erika**
I couldn't sleep last night.
**[20:40] Erika**
I came to school early because
I couldn't just sit around any longer,
**[20:43] Erika**
but I just kept getting more nervous.
**[20:51] Erika**
Is it that funny?
**[20:53] Komichi**
No, it's not that.
**[20:55] Komichi**
I was just surprised someone as pretty
as you would stress like that.
**[20:59] Erika**
O-Of course I do!
**[21:01] Erika**
And my looks have nothing to do with it!
**[21:03] Komichi**
Y-Yeah, you're right.
**[21:06] Komichi**
I was kinda scared, though.
**[21:08] Komichi**
I've never really talked to
someone my own age before.
**[21:12] Komichi**
I didn't know what I'd do if I didn't
think the way everyone else does.
**[21:16] Komichi**
So I'm happy!
**[21:18] Komichi**
I felt the same way!
**[21:22] Komichi**
Oh, I guess everyone else
will be coming in soon.
**[21:25] Erika**
I was just sitting at a random desk.
**[21:30] Komichi**
Number 1...
**[21:32] Komichi**
This one's mine.
**[21:34] Komichi**
The closest spot to greet
everyone coming in...
**[21:37] Erika**
I'm number 5.
**[21:48] Komichi**
*I think I've calmed down a little.*
**[21:54] Komichi**
*I'll be okay now.*
**[22:01] Komichi**
*Maybe I can do this, too.*
**[22:06] Komichi**
Good morning!
