[01:31] Sawamura
'Sup, Natsume! Morning.
[01:33] Yu
M-Morning.
[01:34] Sawamura
Nice, is this new?
[01:36] (Flashback) Yu
I borrowed it from my sister.
[01:38] (Flashback) Sawamura
That's cool.
[01:40] Yu
One minor new development...
[01:40] Sawamura
Figures why it's girly.
[01:42] Yu
Is it weird?
[01:42] Yu
I made a friend besides Himari.
[01:44] Sawamura
Nah, you pull it off.
[01:47] (Flashback) Sawamura
By the way, where's Himari-chan?
[01:48] (Flashback) Yu
I haven't seen her yet—
[01:49] (Flashback) Himari
Ha! Gotcha!
[01:51] (Flashback) Yu
H-Himari?
[01:52] (Flashback) Sawamura
Hey, Himari-chan. Morning!
[01:54] (Flashback) Himari
Morning!
[01:55] (Flashback) Himari
You two besties seem to be getting along.
[01:58] Yu
"Look at you, getting friendly
with the side bestie."
[02:01] Yu
"I thought I was number one,
but I see how it is."
[02:03] Yu
Is that it?
[02:05] (Flashback) Himari
Hey, nice coat.
[02:07] (Flashback) Himari
Where'd you get it?
[02:08] (Flashback) Sawamura
It's his sister's.
[02:10] (Flashback) Himari
Oh, no wonder it's so cute.
[02:12] Yu
Before I knew it, we were a group of three.
[02:18] (Flashback) Himari
Yu!
[02:19] (Flashback) Himari
It's almost time for the Christmas exhibit!
[02:21] (Flashback) Himari
Have you decided on the flowers?
[02:23] (Flashback) Yu
F-For the most part.
[02:26] Yu
My life's been fun
ever since meeting Himari.
[02:30] Yu
As long as she likes my work, it's worth it.
[02:34] (Flashback) Sawamura
Hey, about Christmas...
[02:37] (Flashback) Sawamura
Himari-chan mentioned
having plans that day, right?
[02:40] (Flashback) Yu
What? Really?
[02:42] (Flashback) Yu
She said she was coming to the exhibit.
[02:46] (Flashback) Sawamura
Natsume, I've got a huge favor to ask.
[02:49] (Flashback) Sawamura
Could I have some time alone
with Himari-chan on Christmas?
[02:54] Yu
It's not like she needs
to be at the exhibit.
[02:59] Yu
Besides, I don't want Himari
hating romance forever.
[03:05] Yu
So I lied and said that the
exhibit was canceled.
[03:08] Yu
I hope it works out between them.
[03:10] (Flashback) Yumi
Natsume-kun, let's grab some lunch.

Kadoya
[03:14] (Flashback) Yu
Sensei.
[03:16] (Flashback) Yu
Say you had a friend that
was better off with someone else.
[03:21] (Flashback) Yu
I think true friendship
is about letting them
[03:24] (Flashback) Yu
spend time with that
other person over yourself.
[03:28] (Flashback) Yu
What do you think?
[03:31] (Flashback) Yumi
Hmm...
[03:32] (Flashback) Yumi
It's like with flowers.
[03:35] (Flashback) Yumi
Sometimes, flowers grow better
when you plant two or three seeds together.
[03:39] (Flashback) Yumi
Instead of just one by itself.
[03:42] Yu
Wait, is that even true?
[03:48] (Flashback) Himari
Hey, you!
[03:50] (Flashback) Himari
No slacking at the reception desk.
[03:53] (Flashback) Yu
Wh-What are you doing here?
[03:55] (Flashback) Himari
I visited your place
and they said you were here.
[03:59] (Flashback) Yu
Yeah... well...
[04:02] (Flashback) Yu
Why didn't you hang out with him?
[04:04] (Flashback) Himari
I did. Not for long, though.
[04:07] (Flashback) Himari
I only went because he said you'd be there.
[04:11] (Flashback) Himari
By the way, what was that all about?
[04:14] (Flashback) Himari
He was all serious
and confessed his love to me.
[04:17] (Flashback) Himari
So gross. That kind of tactic is the worst.
[04:19] (Flashback) Yu
B-But he's a good guy.
[04:22] (Flashback) Yu
I was just hoping you two
would be happy together.
[04:26] (Flashback) Himari
Yu, are you serious?
[04:28] (Flashback) Himari
That guy used you to get closer to me.
[04:31] (Flashback) Himari
He's been trying to get with me
[04:33] (Flashback) Himari
before you and I started hanging out.
[04:35] (Flashback) Himari
I kept quiet hoping he genuinely
wanted to be friends with you.
[04:46] (Flashback) Himari
So no more cheating on me, okay?
[04:51] (Flashback) Yu
Who's cheating?
[04:58] (Flashback) Himari
Is this one yours?
[05:01] (Flashback) Yu
How did you know?
[05:03] (Flashback) Himari
Don't tell me, was I your main inspo?
[05:06] (Flashback) Yu
Wh-Why do you ask?
[05:08] (Flashback) Himari
The meaning of my name.
[05:09] (Flashback) Himari
"Himari" means "sunflower."
[05:12] (Flashback) Yu
Th-That's just a coincidence.
[05:18] Yu
I lied.
[05:20] Yu
I made that piece for Himari.
[05:23] Yu
The sunflowers mean...
[05:25] Yu
"I only see you."
[05:28] Yu
Like Himari's friendship.
[05:30] Yu
Straight as an arrow.
[05:33] (Flashback) Himari
Hey, Yu.
[05:35] (Flashback) Himari
If you care about me,
don't go trying to set me up.
[05:40] (Flashback) Yu
Huh?
[05:40] (Flashback) Himari
If I end up with someone else,
that would leave you all alone.
[05:45] (Flashback) Himari
That's not good.
[05:46] (Flashback) Himari
You and I are best friends.
[05:48] (Flashback) Yu
But there's no way we'd each
find someone at the same time.
[05:52] (Flashback) Himari
Probably!
[05:54] (Flashback) Himari
But we should fix
that bad habit of yours first.
[05:57] (Flashback) Yu
I guess I'll do my best.
[06:01] (Flashback) Himari
Promise you'll only see me forever?
[06:06] (Flashback) Yu
I'm your only best friend after all.
[06:09] (Flashback) Himari
Bwa-ha!
[06:19] (Flashback) Yu
So?
[06:20] (Flashback) Yu
What do you think about this wreath?
[06:22] (Flashback) Himari
Hmm... Five out of ten!
[06:25] (Flashback) Himari
It's good, but it feels incomplete.
[06:28] (Flashback) Himari
I wish you'd get to know me better first.
[06:33] (Flashback) Himari
One day, when you feel complete...
[06:37] (Flashback) Himari
Promise to show me first!
[06:43] Himari
Ever since I was little,
[06:45] Himari
I was always bad at making stuff.
[06:49] Himari
Hey, look at that cutie.
[06:51] Himari
Whatever. The world's full of
good-looking people.
[06:56] Himari
Even a pretty girl like me
has worries on her mind.
[07:02] Himari
This one needs water, too.
[07:05] Himari
Chocolate cosmos.
[07:06] Himari
Obviously, they smell like chocolate.
[07:09] Himari
They bloom in the fall.
[07:11] Himari
Yu!
[07:12] Himari
Good morning!
[07:17] Himari
Morning!
[07:22] Himari
He's texting Enocchi.
[07:25] Himari
Hey, Yu?
[07:26] Yu
'S-Sup, Himari. Morning.
[07:29] Himari
Hey, it's dangerous to text while you walk.
[07:32] Yu
R-Right...
[07:34] Himari
Look up already!
[07:35] Himari
It's like he's glued to the screen.
[07:38] Himari
I'm not giving up, though!
[07:40] Himari
Have any plans for summer break?
[07:43] Yu
Oh yeah, it starts soon.
[07:45] Himari
Accessories are great and all,
[07:46] Himari
but next year will be all
about entrance exams.
[07:49] Himari
This may be our last summer to have fun!
[07:52] Himari
Wanna spend the night, just the two of us?
[07:55] Yu
A-A-Are you stupid?
[07:57] Yu
We can't do that!
[07:58] Himari
Why not? We're best friends!
[08:01] Himari
Nothing can come between us!
[08:02] Yu
S-Sure, but still...
[08:04] Himari
Or let me guess.
[08:07] Himari
Are you actually into me like that?
[08:11] Yu
O-Of course not.
[08:14] Himari
Stop, Yu!
[08:15] Himari
I'm just jokin—
[08:17] Rion
Morning, Hii-chan.
[08:18] Himari
Oh hey, Enocchi.
[08:20] Rion
Let's go, Yu-kun!
[08:23] Yu
Y-Yeah.
[08:25] Rion
Hii-chan, I can't wait for our sleepover!
[08:32] Himari
What's on my mind, you ask?
[08:35] Himari
Yu's been too busy paying attention
to Enocchi recently.
[08:39] Rion
Yu-kun! Open wide!
[08:42] Yu
Ahh...
[08:44] Yu
I-I think that's enough.
[08:47] Rion
I found somewhere away from others
so you wouldn't get embarrassed.
[08:51] Yu
Yeah, but still...
[08:52] Yu
It's embarrassing enough
without anyone watching.
[08:56] Rion
I wouldn't complain too much, if I were you.
[08:58] Yu
Enomoto-san, help!
SIGN Enomoto-san, HELP
SIGN Himari was waiting for me!
[09:00] Yu
Himari was waiting for me.
SIGN Please! Please text back.
[09:01] Yu
Please! Please text back.
SIGN Himari's talking about a sleepover.
SIGN I can't do this anymore, she's too cute.
[09:02] Yu
Himari's talking about a sleepover.
[09:02] Yu
I can't do this anymore, she's too cute.
SIGN I'm gonna lose my best friend.
SIGN Don't leave me on read
SIGN I'll do anything!
SIGN Please help
[09:06] Yu
I feel violated.
[09:10] Rion
That drink isn't allowed when it's just us.
[09:12] Rion
It's rude to bring
in reminders of another girl.
[09:16] Rion
Here.
[09:18] Yu
Don't say it like that.
[09:20] Rion
She's my rival at this point!
[09:23] Rion
If you find her too cute to be her friend,
just tell her how you feel.
[09:28] Rion
Yu-kun, do you even want to date Hii-chan?
[09:33] Yu
I dunno.
[09:34] Yu
I like Himari, but opening
my store comes before love.
[09:41] Rion
Yup, you tend to make
things difficult like that.
[09:47] Rion
But I admire that.
[09:49] Rion
It means you want both love and your dream.
[09:53] Rion
You're so honest with yourself,
and I love that about you.
[09:59] Rion
Take your sweet time with Hii-chan.
[10:01] Rion
That way, I still have a chance to catch up!
[10:03] Yu
I wish I had that mental fortitude.
[10:10] Yu
Everyone's busy practicing
for the tournament.
[10:12] Himari
Yu!
[10:14] Himari
Let's go shopping when
you're done watering flowers!
[10:18] Yu
Himari's soft, supple skin!
[10:19] Yu
Calm down, this is nothing new!
[10:22] Yu
Shopping? What for?
[10:24] Himari
Yup! I want a swimsuit for summer break!
[10:28] Yu
S-Swimsuit? Are you crazy?!
[10:30] Yu
Asking a guy you're not even dating
to help you pick out a swim—
[10:35] Yu
Hang on.
[10:36] Yu
I did that last year.
[10:38] Yu
What was I even thinking back then?
[10:41] Yu
Then let's invite Enomoto-san.
[10:44] Himari
Why Enocchi?
[10:46] Himari
Never mind, that's fine.
[10:47] Himari
You'd probably invite her anyways.
[10:49] Yu
Th-Then I'll go find her!
[10:55] Yu
Hey, Enomoto-san.
[10:59] Yu
Himari's arch nemesis, Iron Claw!
[11:01] Yu
Ouch...
[11:03] Rion
"Himari wants to shop for swimsuits.
Help, Enomoto-san!"
[11:08] Rion
You're not inviting me to see
me in a swimsuit, are you?
[11:12] Yu
I-I'm sorry!
[11:14] Yu
This seemed like a "Bwa-ha!" situation,
so I recruited your support.
[11:19] Rion
Don't go then.
[11:21] Yu
B-But she's my best friend.
[11:26] Yu
"All that genuine talk for what?"
[11:28] Yu
"You're like any other guy."
[11:30] Yu
I wanna see Himari in a swimsuit. Sue me.
[11:34] Rion
I have band practice today,
so you'll have to survive on your own.
[11:39] Yu
O-Okay.
[11:41] Girl 1
That's cute!
[11:42] Girl 2
You're way too close!
[11:44] Himari
Yu, what do you think?
[11:46] Yu
I-I should go hom—
[11:47] Himari
Come on!
[11:48] Yu
You're choking me!
[11:50] Yu
Pick something out yourself!
[11:52] Yu
You're not one to care what others think.
[11:55] Himari
Yeah, but...
[11:56] Himari
I'm getting this to show you.
[11:58] Himari
I wanna get something you'll like.
[12:00] Yu
O-Oh.
[12:03] Himari
What's this, Yu-kun?
[12:05] Himari
Are you blushing, by chance?
[12:07] Yu
Sh-Shut up.
[12:08] Yu
Stop teasing me like that.
[12:09] Himari
Bwa-ha!
[12:10] Himari
I swear, you'll fall for that forever.
[12:14] Himari
Let's go inside!
[12:17] Yu
Y-Yeah, let's start over there.
[12:23] Himari
The innocent dress type?
[12:25] Himari
Or the vibrant two-piece?
[12:28] Himari
Look at all these florals!
[12:30] Himari
Which one do you like?
[12:31] Yu
Touché, Himari!
[12:32] Yu
She knows I like cute designs
more than raunchy ones!
[12:37] Yu
Th-They all look fine.
[12:39] Himari
Then lemme try them on!
[12:42] Yu
I feel so uncomfortable...
[12:44] Himari
Yu!
[12:46] Yu
Y-You done?
[12:47] Himari
Guess what?
[12:49] Himari
I actually have a super
raunchy piece on right now.
[12:56] Yu
You weren't looking at anything like that!
[13:00] Himari
Oh, but I was!
[13:02] Himari
With tiny straps.
[13:03] Yu
Y-You liar!
[13:04] Yu
They don't even sell those designs out here!
[13:08] Himari
You sure about that?
[13:10] Yu
Th-This is where she usually goes, "Bwa-ha!"
[13:12] Yu
But what if she's telling
the truth? I'd die!
[13:20] Yu
S-Sorry, gotta go!
[13:27] Yu
I chickened out.
[13:28] Yu
How can she pull that shit in public?
[13:33] Sakura
Hey, idiot.
[13:35] Sakura
You have a guest.
[13:42] Kureha
Nice to meet you.
[13:43] Kureha
I'm Kureha Enomoto.
[13:47] Kureha
Shinji-kun's told me all about you, Yu-chan.
[13:50] Kureha
I've heard you're good friends with Rion.
[13:53] Yu
Kureha-san, you know Makishima?
[13:56] Kureha
Yup, we're old neighbors.
[13:58] Yu
Oh...
[13:59] Sakura
So, Kureha.
[14:01] Sakura
What's your visit about?
[14:03] Kureha
Right, I totally forgot.
[14:06] Kureha
Can I have your Himari-chan? Pretty please?
[14:14] Himari
Scumbag womanizer. Come here.
[14:19] Himari
Hey. Yu's been acting weird lately.
[14:23] Himari
You got in his head again, didn't you?
[14:25] Makishima
Natsu? Acting weird?
[14:26] Himari
He's been avoiding me like the plague.
[14:29] Himari
And he always makes sure Enocchi tags along.
[14:34] Makishima
Well isn't it obvious?
[14:36] Makishima
Natsu's finally fed up with you.
[14:38] Makishima
He's switched over to Rin-chan.
[14:41] Himari
Would you bet your racket on that?
[14:43] Makishima
Wait.
[14:44] Makishima
No roughhousing with the racket.
[14:51] Himari
Ugh, that's totally unfair.
[14:53] Makishima
Give me my racket.
[14:57] Makishima
To tell you the truth,
I haven't done anything.
[15:00] Makishima
Or rather, I have no reason to do anything.
[15:03] Makishima
Luckily, Kureha-san took care of that.
[15:07] Yu
The chocolate cosmos represents...
[15:10] Yu
"The end of love."
[15:12] Kureha
I'm sure you've heard about this,
[15:15] Kureha
but Himari-chan was
supposed to join our agency.
[15:19] Kureha
She made it sound like she was coming,
[15:21] Kureha
then suddenly quit out of nowhere.
[15:25] Yu
I-I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
[15:28] Kureha
It's okay. I'm not mad.
[15:31] Kureha
I only came up with the idea
and convinced the CEO.
[15:34] Kureha
And funded all expenses out of pocket.
[15:38] Kureha
All to get kicked
to the curb by Himari-chan.
[15:41] Kureha
Why would I be mad?
[15:45] Kureha
I came to talk business with you, Yu-chan.
[15:48] Yu
Business?
[15:49] Kureha
Can you talk to Himari-chan
so she joins our agency?
[15:54] Yu
But Himari and I have—
[15:56] Kureha
I've heard.
[15:57] Kureha
You have a dream to open your own store.
[15:59] Kureha
But this is the middle of nowhere.
[16:02] Kureha
Don't you think that's a bit unrealistic?
[16:05] Kureha
I'm not asking you to give that up for free.
[16:08] Yu
What's that for?
[16:10] Kureha
Duh, silly!
[16:12] Kureha
It's in exchange for Himari-chan.
[16:14] Kureha
I'll pay you cash in advance
for her future earnings.
[16:20] Kureha
Oh right! And models, too.
[16:23] Kureha
You'll need a girl to take her place.
[16:26] Kureha
Feel free to pick anyone
you like from our agency.
[16:29] Yu
I've heard enough!
[16:31] Yu
Himari isn't a thing you can buy!
[16:33] Yu
No money or model will change my mind!
[16:37] Yu
It's my dream to open
a store together with Himari.
[16:39] Yu
If I can't do it with her,
none of it matters!
[16:45] Kureha
Oh, I get it.
[16:47] Kureha
She's super important to you.
[16:49] Kureha
I totally get why. She's so cute!
[16:52] Kureha
Honestly, it's pure talent.
[16:56] Kureha
But isn't it a shame?
[16:58] Kureha
She's basically squashing
that for someone else's mediocre talent.
[17:04] Yu
Are you saying
I'm squashing Himari's talent?
[17:08] Kureha
Yup!
[17:10] Kureha
Honestly, even in middle school,
your pieces were pretty amateur.
[17:17] Kureha
And your work now
is hardly more than ordinary.
[17:24] Kureha
You're crushing your best friend's
talent for selfish reasons.
[17:28] Kureha
Would you call that true friendship?
[17:31] Kureha
Oh, wait!
[17:33] Kureha
You're not business partners.
[17:36] Kureha
You just can't let Himari-chan go
because you like her.
[17:39] Yu
Th-That's not true.
[17:41] Kureha
So what's your choice?
[17:43] Kureha
If you can devote your life to loving her,
[17:46] Kureha
I'll let you come to Tokyo with us.
[17:49] Kureha
But you'll have to give up your dream.
[17:56] Yu
I don't think she's right.
[17:59] Yu
But... could this be Himari's big break?
[18:03] Kureha
See, you can't commit either way.
[18:06] Kureha
You two just wanna have fun.
[18:09] Kureha
Neither of you are serious
about your dreams.
[18:13] Hibari
Stop right there!
[18:14] Hibari
I won't let you lay a finger on Yu-kun!
[18:17] Kureha
Hibari-kun.
[18:19] Sakura
Oops, I forgot to lock the door.
[18:22] Yu
Hibari-san, how did you know?
[18:24] Hibari
Himari called, so I rushed over.
[18:28] Hibari
Kureha-kun, I see you've been toying
with my dear Yu-kun.
[18:34] Kureha
I would never! I was just talking business.
[18:39] Hibari
Business would involve merit
for both parties.
[18:43] Hibari
I see you haven't changed one bit.
[18:44] Yu
Saku-nee-san, are those two...
[18:45] Hibari
True business is about
achieving mutual benefits.
[18:47] Sakura
Can't you tell? They're exes.
[18:51] Hibari
I won't allow Himari and Yu-kun's
friendship to suffer a single blow.
[18:58] Kureha
There's that tough guy front again.
[19:01] Kureha
Here.
[19:06] Yu
Hibari-san?!
[19:08] Kureha
Stay out of it unless you want this
video plastered all over the internet.
[19:12] Hibari
Please, don't! Kureha-kun!
[19:15] Hibari
That has nothing to do with this!
[19:16] Kureha
You have nothing to do with this.
[19:23] Kureha
Remember how you swore off real women?
[19:27] Kureha
You can't touch my phone
as long as it's tucked in here.
[19:30] Hibari
Why you—!
[19:31] Hibari
Then... take this!
[19:35] Kureha
So scary!
[19:38] Kureha
Sakura-chan, here!
[19:40] Sakura
Don't drag me into this.
[19:47] Hibari
You can't blackmail me anymo—
[19:49] Kureha
I have twenty backups
for work, just in case!
[19:52] Hibari
You tricked me!
[19:54] Yu
I've never seen this side of Hibari-san...
[19:57] Sakura
He's always been like this.
[19:59] Sakura
Why don't you two get back together already?
[20:02] Hibari/Kureha
No way!
[20:04] Sakura
We're getting nowhere
with you two doing the talking.
[20:09] Sakura
Kureha, you may think
you're doing the right thing,
[20:12] Sakura
but you can't push your ideals onto others.
[20:17] Sakura
I get why you see yourself in Himari-chan.
[20:21] Sakura
But you hated being told what
to do more than anyone.
[20:27] Kureha
I knew I shouldn't have
asked Sakura-chan for help.
[20:30] Kureha
You're always the voice of reason.
[20:34] Kureha
I've changed my mind!
[20:36] Kureha
Yu-chan, let's go head to head.
[20:38] Yu
Head to head?
[20:39] Kureha
Take the summer to make
your best masterpiece.
[20:44] Kureha
Prove me wrong with
the quality of your work.
[20:48] Kureha
You should be thanking me
for even considering this option.
[20:53] Hibari
What do you mean?
[20:54] Kureha
Like I said, I've been paying
for Himari-chan out of pocket.
[20:58] Kureha
I don't know any high schooler
who'd be able to pay this off.
[21:03] Sakura
Kureha, you mean
if my idiot brother said no,
[21:07] Sakura
you were planning to blackmail
Himari-chan with debt?
[21:09] Kureha
You're so smart, Sakura-chan! Yup!
[21:13] Kureha
The only person who can help Himari-chan
is her best friend Yu-chan.
[21:17] Kureha
Are you in?
[21:27] Yu
If I win, will you wipe her slate clean?
[21:31] Kureha
Sure!
[21:32] Kureha
If I lose, I'll give up
Himari-chan and the money.
[21:36] Kureha
But if I win, hand her over to me.
[21:41] Yu
Alright.
[21:43] Kureha
The theme is "memories of summer."
[21:45] Kureha
You have until the Obon festival in August.
[21:48] Kureha
I'll be back then!
[21:55] Yu
Are my accessories really
worth Himari's devotion?
[22:00] Yu
It was time to put that to the test.
