[00:05] YAMAMOTO
    Something on your mind?
[00:06] MIZUHO
    Huh?
[00:07] MIZUHO
    Yamamoto-san!
[00:08] MIZUHO
    It's been a while.
[00:10] YAMAMOTO
    Indeed.
[00:11] YAMAMOTO
    We work in the same building,
[00:13] YAMAMOTO
    but in different departments,
    so we don't really cross paths.
[00:15] MIZUHO
    Are you on break, too?
[00:17] YAMAMOTO
    Yeah.
[00:19] YAMAMOTO
    Which means it's the perfect opportunity
    for me to lend you an ear.
[00:22] MIZUHO
    What?
[00:23] YAMAMOTO
    You were making a face like this, Nishino-san.
[00:32] YAMAMOTO
    As your former editor,
    I can't ignore that.
[00:38] YAMAMOTO
    Canceled, huh?
[00:40] YAMAMOTO
    That's rough. For both the writer and editor.
[00:44] MIZUHO
    Yes...
[00:45] MIZUHO
    I'm also having problems with Kawaguchi-san.
[00:49] YAMAMOTO
    Now, now. It happens sometimes.
[00:52] YAMAMOTO
    Don't worry too much.
[00:53] YAMAMOTO
    You've had guts since your
    high school days, Nishino-san.
[00:56] MIZUHO
    I feel relieved hearing words of
    encouragement from you, Yamamoto-san.
[01:01] YAMAMOTO
    I've been good at cheering
    people on for a long time now.
[01:05] MIZUHO
    If only I was good at that, too.
[01:09] MIZUHO
    But I won't be discouraged.
     I'll keep encouraging them.
[01:12] MIZUHO
    I don't want Kawaguchi-san to give up.
[01:17] YAMAMOTO
    You're right.
[01:19] YAMAMOTO
    As long as you don't give up,
    opportunities will arise.
[01:22] MIZUHO
    Talking like this reminds me
    of those days back then.
[01:28] YAMAMOTO
    No kidding.
[01:29] YAMAMOTO
    You were really dazzling
    back then, Nishino-san.
[01:34] MIZUHO
    I think so, too.
[01:37] MIZUHO
    After all this time, I finally understand
    just how dazzling my youth was.
[01:44] MIZUHO
    With everyone looking after me...
[01:47] MIZUHO
    Even though you said that, Yamamoto-san,
[01:49] MIZUHO
    I failed to see it back then.
[01:52] MIZUHO
    I was such a child.
[01:57] YAMAMOTO
    Everyone's like that.
[02:00] YAMAMOTO
    That's what makes it precious.
[02:05] YAMAMOTO
    Adolescence, I mean.

[03:52] AIRU
    I actually confessed
    to Mizuho in middle school.
[03:57] KIZUKI
    Huh? Do you mean...
[04:00] SHIN
    What did Mizuho say?
[04:21] SYUGO
    So cold!
[04:22] SHIN
    What are you doing, Airu?
[04:28] AIRU
    It's all in the past.

[04:44] TOGO
    Hey, Mizuho.
[04:45] TOGO
    You still hanging out with those guys?
[04:48] TOGO
    You're such a twerp.
[04:49] MIZUHO
    I'm not a twerp.
[04:52] MIZUHO
    What about university, Togo?
[04:54] MIZUHO
    Is it summer break?
[04:55] TOGO
    Hmm...
[04:57] TOGO
    Anyway, I couldn't tell
    who you were earlier, Mizuho.
[05:02] TOGO
    You've gotten so cute.
[05:07] TOGO
    You have a boyfriend?
[05:09] MIZUHO
    N-No way!
[05:11] TOGO
    Uh-huh. Then, is there someone you like?
[05:17] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    I... like someone.
[05:24] TOGO
    You used to tell me that you liked me
    so many times back in the day.
[05:28] MIZUHO
    You're wrong!
[05:49] TOGO
    What's with that face?
[06:01] TOGO
    Who is it?
[06:02] TOGO
    Who's got you making a face like that?
[06:12] TOGO
    You can exclusively tell me,
[06:14] TOGO
    the guy who was your "first".
[06:18] MIZUHO
    Togo...
[06:21] SYUGO
    Don't say something so misleading!
[06:31] SYUGO
    You're just Mizuho's first crush.
[06:34] SYUGO
    Keep your hands off her, Bro.
[06:37] TOGO
    Whoa!
[06:39] TOGO
    You're so cool, Syugo.
[06:42] TOGO
    And you're as energetic as ever, li'l twerps.
[06:46] AIRU
    Welcome back, Togo-kun.
[06:48] SHIN
    Hello.
[07:03] AIRU
    Togo-kun looks even cooler.
[07:08] TOGO
    How'd you do your hair?
[07:10] MIZUHO
    Airu helped me.
[07:12] AIRU
    Hm? Kizuki's short circuiting.
[07:17] AIRU
    What with my past confession to Mizuho
[07:20] AIRU
    and now Mizuho's first crush,
    Togo-kun, coming home...
[07:25] AIRU
    Though I don't think Kizuki
    is the only one breaking down—
[07:28] SYUGO
    I thought Mizuho got caught up with
    a stupid guy at the convenience store...
[07:32] SYUGO
    Only to find out it's you, Togo!
[07:34] SYUGO
    You perverted demon lord!
[07:36] TOGO
    Whoa now, don't get so excited just because
    you're happy that your big bro's home.
[07:41] SYUGO
    Nope, not even an ounce!
SIGN    Exploring the Stars
[07:50] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    That's so cool, Syugo!
[07:54] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    So many words.
[07:56] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    You can read books like this?
[07:59] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Let me borrow those.
[08:00] (Flashback) SYUGO
    'Kay.
[08:06] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Nope. I can't read this!
[08:10] (Flashback) SHIN
    Stupid.
[08:11] (Flashback) SHIN
    Putting on glasses won't
    magically make you literate.
[08:14] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Aww...
[08:16] (Flashback) SYUGO
    Mi-chan.
[08:21] (Flashback) SYUGO
    Marry me.
[08:28] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Syugo...
[08:33] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    No way!
[08:34] (Flashback) SYUGO
    Wh-Why?
[08:36] (Flashback) SYUGO
    Then who would you marry?
[08:43] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Togo-kun.
[08:44] (Flashback) TOGO
    Huh?
[08:48] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    Shin-kun. What's "marry"?
[08:51] (Flashback) SHIN
    Uh...
[08:52] (Flashback) TOGO
    Too bad.
[08:53] (Flashback) TOGO
    I don't like little twerps.
[08:55] (Flashback) KIZUKI
    Hey. What's "marry"?
[09:02] (Flashback) TOGO
    But I might consider it
    when you're an adult, Mizuho.
[09:29] SYUGO
    "The unexamined life is not worth living."
[09:34] SYUGO
    There's also guys out there
    who are unexamined.
[09:38] SYUGO
    Oh. This is something Socrates said.
[09:43] SYUGO
    Shiraishi-chan, are you listening?
[09:47] SYUGO
    And you're not.
[09:50] SHIRAISHI
    Why do you come here
    during lunch, Hoshikawa-kun?
[09:55] SYUGO
    It's because I want to talk
    with you, Shiraishi-chan!
[10:01] SHIRAISHI
    You need to call me "Shiraishi-sensei."
[10:10] SYUGO
    You're not going to play
    "Someday My Prince Will Come" today?
[10:22] SHIRAISHI
    Not really. I just don't feel like it.
[10:25] SYUGO
    I saw, you know.
[10:31] SYUGO
    I saw you at the station during summer break.
[10:38] SYUGO
    Was the guy next to you your boyfriend?
[10:47] SHIRAISHI
    I don't plan on giving you an answer.
[10:50] SYUGO
    Why is that?
[10:52] SYUGO
    I want to know about you, Sensei.
[10:56] SHIRAISHI
    Hoshikawa-kun.
[10:58] SHIRAISHI
    Some things are simpler than you think.
[11:03] SHIRAISHI
    I'm an adult and a teacher.
[11:06] SHIRAISHI
    And I am simply not
    interested in you. Not one bit.
[11:16] SYUGO
    You may think you hurt my feelings...
[11:22] SYUGO
    But...
[11:26] SYUGO
    I've been used to one-sided love
    for a long time now.
[11:52] KIZUKI
    Are you okay, Mizuho? Do you feel sick?
[11:56] MIZUHO
    Kizuki...
[11:57] SHIN
    Doing the usual "stay up all night
    working on your manuscript
[12:00] SHIN
    and get hit with anxiety
    right before applying" bit?
[12:03] SHIN
    The results aren't even out yet,
    so don't get so depressed.
[12:12] SHIN
    You were working hard applying screentone
    to the point of looking like a zombie, right?
[12:17] MIZUHO
    A zombie...
[12:19] KIZUKI
    Don't worry. Mi-chan is a genius, after all.
[12:24] MIZUHO
    Yeah. Thanks.

[13:24] TOGO
    What's up with you guys?
    Where's your enthusiasm?
[13:29] SHIN
    I knew he was pursuing a
    teaching degree in college but...
[13:32] SHIN
    To think he'd be a student teacher
    at our high school.
[13:36] SYUGO
    For real.
[13:38] SYUGO
    Ugh! He keeps showing off!
[13:43] AIRU
    Good work you two.
[13:46] SHIN
    Thanks.
[13:47] KIZUKI
    I couldn't get the ball even once.
[13:51] AIRU
    Ball games were never really
    your strong suit, Kizuki.
[13:54] AIRU
    Oh.
[13:57] SYUGO
    Wait. Didn't she pull three all-nighters?
[14:02] KIZUKI
    Mizuho!
[14:02] KIZUKI
    Are you okay?
[14:07] TOGO
    Nishino-san.
[14:09] TOGO
    Are you okay?
[14:10] TOGO
    If you don't feel well, you can rest for a bit.

    Lucky!

[15:40] SHIN
    No, I'm good.
[15:41] TOGO
    C'mon, just one!
[15:43] SHIN
    I don't need it. I'm only here
    to submit the budget draft.
[15:47] TOGO
    No fun. You're such a
    cold hearted council president.
[15:51] TOGO
    I just want to give off a cool teacher vibe.

[17:55] (Flashback) SHIN
    As I thought, you only filled out
    two answers on the homework.
[17:58] (Flashback) SHIN
    I bet you didn't know what to do and gave up.
[18:00] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Huh? What? Guys... why?
[18:03] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    It's already bed time.

    Don't worry about it. Let's just hang out!

    Okay.

    Why?

    I'll close my eyes.
[18:19] KIZUKI
    Uh-huh.
[18:21] (Flashback) MIZUHO
    Why is it that whenever I'm sad,
    you guys come over?

[18:44] KIZUKI
    Did you submit
    your manuscript in time?
[18:47] AISU
    Shh.
[18:51] SYUGO
    Not so loud.
[18:59] SYUGO
    She's asleep.
[19:15] SHIN
    Her manuscript. She did submit it in time.
[19:19] SYUGO
    I was forced to do eraser duty
    until the very end at school.
[19:24] AIRU
    As for me, I had to constantly buy supplies
    to the point of befriending the store staff.
[19:29] AIRU
    I even made a point card.
[19:32] SYUGO
    That card isn't even cute.
[19:41] SYUGO
    Mizuho looks so accomplished.
[19:47] AIRU
    She's unknowingly experiencing
    just as much adolescence as Kizuki.
[19:52] AIRU
    Chasing dreams, charging forward
    without looking back...
[20:00] AIRU
    I'm a little jealous.
[20:11] TSUYOSHI
    I'm home, Mi-chan.
[20:13] TSUYOSHI
    I brought donuts—
[20:25] TSUYOSHI
    What are you guys? Kids?
[20:34] TSUYOSHI
    Thank you.
[21:08] TOGO
    Whoa! You both improved!
[21:13] SYUGO
    Damn it...
[21:17] SYUGO
    Damn it! Why do I have to do this?
[21:20] TOGO
    Your generous brother is sacrificing his
    weekend keeping you bored kids company.
[21:25] TOGO
    Isn't this fun?
[21:27] SYUGO
    Only for you!
[21:28] SYUGO
    Airu, switch with me!
[21:30] AIRU
    Wow. Autumn skies sure are vast.
[21:34] SYUGO
    Every single one of you...
[21:42] KIZUKI
    Huh? Is Mizuho still not here?
[21:46] AIRU
    Nope. I called her about 20 times
    and she wouldn't answer her phone.
[21:52] AIRU
    She probably won't wake up until sunset.
[21:54] SYUGO
    Come on! I want to sleep, too!
[21:59] TOGO
    Aw man.
[22:01] TOGO
    And here I wanted to show off
    my awesome surfing skills to Mizuho.
[22:07] TOGO
    I was really surprised to see how cute
    she got after not seeing her for a while.
[22:15] TOGO
    Could it be that one of you...
[22:19] TOGO
    is going out with Mizuho?
[22:36] SYUGO
    Huh?
[22:37] SYUGO
    What are you even saying? There's no way!
[22:40] TOGO
    Is that so?
[22:42] TOGO
    I figured she'd already
    be dating someone by now.
[22:51] TOGO
    Then, you wouldn't care, right?
[22:55] TOGO
    About who Mizuho dates?
[23:20] TOGO
    You guys can play nice with each other
    for the rest of your lives.
[23:27] TOGO
    But before you know it,
    someone could snatch Mizuho up.
[23:34] TOGO
    Someone like...
[23:38] TOGO
    Me.
