[01:35] Saki
    Thursday, July 16th.
[01:40] Saki
    I'm never any good at these book questions.
SIGN    Thursday, July 16th
[01:44] Saki
    I know I should concentrate
    on figuring out the prose and
[01:47] Saki
    work through the questions without
    trying to fully understand them,
[01:52] Saki
    but I just can't seem to do that.
[01:56] Saki
    The way people stress over not understanding
    each other makes no sense to me.
[02:01] Saki
    I don't get it at all.
[02:06] Saki
    Yeah, I know. That just makes me weird.
[02:11] Saki
    Anyway, Asamura-kun is really
    good at explaining things.
[02:17] Saki
    I had honestly kind of given up,
[02:21] Saki
    but thanks to him, I have hope again.
[02:25] Saki
    Thanks.
SIGN    Friday, July 17th
[02:28] Saki
    Friday, July 17th.
[02:32] Saki
    The music he recommended is really great.
[02:36] Saki
    Asamura-kun went out of his way
    to find something good for me.
[02:39] Saki
    I should thank him.
[02:57] Saki
    It's weird.
[02:58] Saki
    When I get in bed and close my eyes, my head
    fills with all sorts of annoying thoughts.
[03:06] Saki
    Asamura-kun got that music from
    his pretty senpai at work, right?
[03:12] Saki
    Not that it really matters.
    But if I don't think it matters,
[03:16] Saki
    why bother writing about it in my diary?
SIGN    Saturday, July 18th
[03:22] Saki
    I don't get it. No matter how I look at it,
    it doesn't make sense.
[03:28] Saki
    I have no right to be
    writing things like this...
[03:33] Saki
    yet I'm doing it anyway.
[03:36] Saki
    Who cares? I'm only doing this for myself.
[03:40] Saki
    Asamura-kun came home late today.
[03:43] Saki
    Something with a girl from work?
[03:46] Saki
    He didn't say anything to me about that.
[03:50] Saki
    Sure, I know. There's no reason for
    him to report stuff like that to me.
[03:57] Saki
    Was it that same girl, I wonder?
[04:03] Saki
    If so, I hate this.
[04:09] Saki
    Yeah, when I write it down,
[04:12] Saki
    I feel like the words that come out on
    the page don't match my true feelings.
[04:17] Saki
    But of the words in my vocabulary,
    "hate" is the one that comes closest.
[04:23] Saki
    I'm so awful. I don't even
    know anything about her.
[04:27] Saki
    It makes me sick of myself.
[04:30] Saki
    It's self-hatred. I feel so anxious.
[04:36] Saki
    For some reason, I wanted to welcome
    Asamura-kun home when he got back,
[04:43] Saki
    so I decided to study in the living
    room instead of my bedroom.
[04:50] Saki
    In the end, I couldn't stay
    awake until he got home.
[04:56] Saki
    I didn't get to say "welcome home."
[04:59] Saki
    But I did wake up with a blanket on me.
[05:04] Saki
    I wonder if...
[05:06] Saki
    When I had that thought,
[05:08] Saki
    the anxiety I felt last night
    seemed to clear up a little.
SIGN    Sunday, July 19th
[05:15] Saki
    Yomiuri Shiori.
[05:18] Saki
    I think that's a really pretty name.
[05:21] Saki
    The kind of name that loves books,
    is loved by books,
[05:25] Saki
    and is bound to be loved by
    other people who love books.
[05:30] Saki
    Also, maybe it's because she's in
    college, but she seems so mature.
[05:36] Saki
    And she's not just beautiful.
[05:40] Saki
    She also has a kind of adorable charm to her.
[05:44] Saki
    I really think they'd make a good couple.
[05:49] Saki
    If he could be with someone like that,
    I'm sure Asamura-kun would...

[05:59] Saki
    A bookstore, huh?
[06:02] Saki
    It isn't exactly an easy, high-paying job,
[06:06] Saki
    but instead of trying to take a shortcut,
[06:09] Saki
    maybe it'd be worth it to
    do things slow and steady.
[06:13] Saki
    I don't know, though.
    Maybe it would creep him out.
[06:18] Saki
    I know we're stepsiblings, but interviewing
    for a job where your brother works
[06:23] Saki
    is kind of a weird thing to do.
SIGN    Sunday, July 20th
[06:27] Saki
    Today was my last chance
    to study before my retest.
[06:31] Saki
    I'm really grateful to Asamura-kun
    and Maaya for helping me out.
[06:37] Saki
    I want to go to bed early and wake up sharp
    so I can put my brain to work tomorrow,
[06:42] Saki
    so I'll keep this entry short.

[07:00] Saki

    that I have the results,
[07:04] Saki
    but honestly, I was already sure by
    yesterday or so that I was going to pass.
[07:09] Saki
    It's all thanks to Asamura-kun.
    And Maaya, too. I'm grateful.

[07:19] Saki
    I'll keep studying bit by bit
    as I save up money from work.
[07:25] Saki
    Someone approached me as I was
    looking at the help wanted poster.
[07:30] Saki
    Without thinking, I told him that,
    yes, I was interested.
[07:35] Saki
    No taking it back now.
[07:37] Saki
    I could have practiced
    for the interview at home,
[07:41] Saki
    but I figured it'd be really awkward
    if Asamura-kun were around.
[07:46] Saki
    If he saw me, I'd probably die a little.
[07:48] Saki
    If he asked me why I picked
    that bookstore in particular,
[07:52] Saki
    how would I even answer?
[07:55] Saki
    I honestly don't know myself.
[07:58] Saki
    How could I? There's no way...
[08:02] Saki
    I'm sorry to have worried you.
[08:05] Saki
    I knew I'd be late and thought
    about letting you know,
[08:10] Saki
    but then I probably would've
    had to explain why I was late,
[08:17] Saki
    so I couldn't say anything.
[08:20] Saki
    Sooner or later, I'm going to have to
    confront this anxious feeling I keep getting.
[08:27] Saki
    To make up for what I did, I decided
    to make him a really nice meal tonight.
[08:34] Saki
    I figured he'd be more likely to forgive me
    if I treated him to some good food.
[08:40] Saki
    And even if he doesn't,
[08:43] Saki
    he'll at least have to accept it, I guess.
[08:48] Saki
    I'll convince him that I was late because
    I stopped by the department store.
[08:53] Saki
    And saying I didn't see his messages
    because my battery died should be okay.
[08:59] Saki
    The more I lie, the more I feel a seed
    of doubt starting to sprout in my mind.
[09:10] Saki
    I'm scared...
[09:14] Saki
    of the feelings I'm having right now.
    I think I have a good idea of what's happening
[09:21] Saki
    and how I'm starting to feel about him.
[09:26] Saki
    There's only one word to describe it,
SIGN    ...never expected that he attended Suisei, too.
[09:28] Saki
    and I'm torn as to whether
    I should put it down in my diary.
SIGN    ...from his pretty senpai...
    ...that it really matters...
    ...don't think it matters,
    why bother writing about it in my diary?
    ...don't get it.
SIGN    ...like I was thinking about him...
    ...I really regret that...
    
    Yomiuri Shiori.
    ...really pretty name.
[09:35] Saki
    It's all too ironic.
[09:37] Saki
    I never dreamed I'd start behaving
    like some character in a novel.
[09:45] Saki
    But I can't run away now.
    The job interview was such a breeze.
[09:51] Saki
    I'm going to have to come clean to Asamura-kun.
[09:56] Saki
    I'm scared to explain it to him. I'm terrified.
[10:02] Saki
    But at the same time,
    I think it will be a relief.
[10:08] Saki
    Of course it will be.
[10:11] Saki
    I mean, I'll finally be free of this anxiety.
[10:20] Saki
    There are parts of Asamura-kun I don't know.
[10:23] Saki
    There are parts of his relationship
    with Yomiuri-san I don't know.
[10:27] Saki
    If I can at least get an idea of what those are,
[10:31] Saki
    maybe this gross, anxious
    feeling will let up a little.
[10:39] Saki
    I think it will.
[10:44] Saki
    I really can't believe myself.
[10:47] Saki
    Why am I giving him control over my actions?
[10:53] Saki
    Asamura-kun hasn't done anything.
[10:55] Saki
    I'm the one who tied myself in chains
[10:59] Saki
    and bound myself to him.
[11:03] Saki
    Really, the whole thing is so stupid
    it makes me want to laugh.
[11:11] Saki
    I'm not going to let anyone read this anyway.
[11:15] Saki
    Maybe as a sort of warning to myself,
    I should go ahead and write the word.
[11:21] Saki
    If I hide it way in the back of a drawer
    and lock it shut, it should be safe.
[11:30] Saki
    So here's a test question for you, Ayase Saki.
[11:38] Saki
    Describe the nature of the unpleasant
    feelings you're experiencing in one word.
SIGN    Saturday, August 22nd
[11:46] Taichi
    It's all so delicious again today!
[11:48] Saki
    Oh, it's nothing special.
[11:51] Saki
    Here, Asamura-kun.
[11:52] Yuta
    Thanks, Ayase-san.
[11:55] Taichi
    So, Yuta and Saki-chan, you both still
    call each other by your family names?
SIGN    Episode 7 "Feelings and Summer Vacation"
[11:59] Akiko
    Are you still too embarrassed
    to use your given names?
[12:04] Akiko
    Hmm, how about something
    like "Big Brother Yuta"?
[12:08] Saki
    That just doesn't feel right.
[12:10] Akiko
    No?
[12:11] Saki
    No.
[12:13] Taichi
    Do you feel the same, Yuta?
[12:15] Yuta
    I agree with Ayase-san.
    It just doesn't feel right, I guess.
[12:19] Taichi
    Hmm. Well, I suppose that's that, then.
[12:24] Akiko
    Do you both have work again today?
[12:27] Yuta
    Yes. I'm planning to leave by noon.
[12:30] Saki
    Me, too.
[12:32] Taichi
    Are you sure you should be working
    so much? August is already half over.
[12:36] Yuta
    Don't worry. I've still been going
    to summer cram school.
[12:40] Taichi
    No, that's not the issue here.
[12:45] Taichi
    It's summer vacation, and it doesn't
    sound like you've gone anywhere for fun.
[12:50] Yuta
    Oh, that's what you meant?
[12:52] Taichi
    This is a big deal. Once you're a third-year,
    you'll have to concentrate on exams.
[12:58] Akiko
    That's right.
[12:59] Akiko
    And I know you tend to push
    yourself a bit too hard, Saki.
[13:03] Taichi
    Your friends are probably
    missing you both right now.
[13:08] Yuta
    That's not that many people.
    Oh, for me, I mean.
[13:13] Yuta
    Ayase-san has friends, though.
[13:15] Saki
    We don't have any plans.
[13:25] Yuta
    Come in.
[13:27] Saki
    If you meant Maaya, don't worry about her.
[13:29] Yuta
    Huh?
[13:30] Saki
    We're not so close that we'd
    hang out over summer break.
[13:34] Yuta
    Oh.
[13:36] Saki
    Sorry. I'm not mad or anything.
[13:39] Saki
    But Maaya and I don't really hang
    out that much to begin with.
[13:43] Yuta
    Even though she's come over a few times?
[13:45] Saki
    Well, that's because she was
    really curious about you.
[13:49] Saki
    And also because I invited her,
    like last time.
[13:55] Saki
    She's actually very considerate, so if we
    don't make plans, she gives me my space.
[13:59] Saki
    I'm the same way.
[14:01] Yuta
    Well, I can kind of understand that.
[14:05] Yuta
    I don't like hanging out with people
    I'm not that close to, either.
[14:09] Saki
    Do you like your solitude?
[14:11] Yuta
    I think I do prefer it, yeah.
[14:14] Saki
    Okay.
[14:16] Saki
    I guess that's enough talk for now.
[14:19] Saki
    See you later.
[14:25] Shiori
    Thanks.
[14:27] Yuta
    No problem.
[14:40] Shiori
    She's sure getting the hang of things quickly.
[14:45] Yuta
    Thank you very much.
[14:48] Shiori
    Is Ayase-san okay over there?
[14:55] Shiori
    Go give her some backup.
[14:59] Yuta
    Okay.
[15:03] Yuta
    Ayase-san.
[15:06] Saki
    Asamura-san.
[15:08] Yuta
    Did it show up in the search?
[15:09] Saki
    It says we still have five volumes left.
[15:14] Yuta
    It's a new release, right?
    And it wasn't on the display stand?

    Right.

[15:42] Saki
    Thanks for your help today.
[15:44] Saki
    But really, how did you know?
    It's like you were psychic.
[15:48] Yuta
    The sign said that book was a
    new release from August 22nd.
[15:54] Yuta
    But I remembered that the
    book on the top of the pile
[15:58] Yuta
    had already been out for a while.
[16:01] Saki
    I didn't even notice.
[16:04] Yuta
    Well, I do have a lot more experience.
[16:08] Saki
    I still think it's impressive.
[16:10] Yuta
    Yomiuri probably would
     have found it even quicker.
[16:15] Saki
    Oh.
[16:26] Saki
    I guess it's already fall.
[16:26] Yuta
    I guess summer isn't over yet.
[16:30] Saki
    Huh?
[16:30] Yuta
    Eh?
[16:31] Saki
    Do you mean because of this heat?
[16:34] Yuta
    What did you mean?
[16:36] Saki
    Well, look over there.
[16:39] Yuta
    That means... it's fall?
[16:42] Saki
    Are you being serious right now?
[16:44] Saki
    I mean, they were wearing
    different clothes until yesterday.
[16:48] Yuta
    They were?
[16:50] Saki
    No way. Asamura-kun, are you one of
    those people with zero interest in fashion?
[16:56] Yuta
    Have you ever seen me
    reading a fashion magazine?
[17:01] Saki
    I guess not.
[17:03] Saki
    If you're not interested,
    I guess you really wouldn't notice.
[17:08] Yuta
    Looks like you're right.
[17:12] Saki
    Well, I can't imagine you working at
    a clothing boutique, so I guess it's fine.
[17:18] Yuta
    Where did that come from?
[17:22] Saki
    Never mind.
SIGN    Sunday, August 23rd
[17:30] Yuta
    It's broken?
[17:32] Taichi
    Yeah. This is our oldest one, after all.
[17:37] Yuta
    Is Ayase-san in her room?
[17:38] Akiko
    Well, she was until just before you got up,
[17:43] Akiko
    but she really doesn't
    handle the heat very well.
[17:47] Yuta
    Is that right?
[17:50] Akiko
    It was a real problem when she was younger.
[17:55] Akiko
    When summer came,
    she'd always demand ice cream
[17:59] Akiko
    and throw tantrums saying,
    "Take me to the pool!"
[18:04] Akiko
    Once she got into middle school,
    that started to change.
[18:08] Akiko
    She became more like she is now.
[18:12] Akiko
    She stopped being such a handful,
    but I still miss those old days.
[18:22] Saki
    My mom started working
    twice as hard to provide for me.
[18:33] Yuta
    Yes?
[18:35] Yuta
    Yeah.
[18:37] Yuta
    Yeah. Right now?
[18:43] Maru
    So anyway, Asamura, I heard you're going
    to the pool with Narasaka and some people?
[18:49] Yuta
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[18:51] Maru
    What? I'm talking about you and Ayase
    going to the pool with Narasaka.
[18:58] Yuta
    Haven't heard a thing.
[19:00] Maru
    Didn't you get invited?
[19:02] Yuta
    Nope.
[19:04] Maru
    Then maybe they'll invite you later.
[19:07] Yuta
    Yeah, maybe so...
[19:10] Maru
    Hey, aren't you short on time?
[19:12] Yuta
    Oh, y-yeah.
[19:14] Maru
    Then we should go.
    Lemme hit the bathroom first.
[19:17] Yuta
    Sure.
[19:26] Yuta
    Getting used to work?
[19:27] Saki
    Yes. Thanks to your help.
[19:31] Yuta
    You're dependable and
    a quick learner, Ayase-san.
[19:34] Saki
    Thanks.
[19:36] Yuta
    The other employees were praising you, too.
[19:39] Saki
    Yeah?
[19:52] Yuta
    I guess it is like my dad said.
[19:55] Yuta
    Feels like we're spending
    our whole break working.
[19:59] Saki
    Yeah.
[20:21] Yuta
    Ayase-san.
[20:26] Yuta
    By any chance, did Narasaka-san
    invite you to go to the pool?
[20:33] Yuta
    Did she maybe invite me, too?
[20:38] Saki
    Did Maaya tell you that?
[20:41] Yuta
    No, Narasaka-san doesn't have my contact info.
[20:46] Saki
    Then how would you know about it?
[20:49] Yuta
    Someone else told me.
    I hadn't heard anything before that.
[20:54] Saki
    Do you want to go, Asamura-kun?
[20:57] Yuta
    Huh? Uh...
[21:00] Yuta
    To be honest, I think I'd feel out of place
    at a pool with a bunch of cheery people.
[21:05] Yuta
    Not really my thing.
[21:08] Saki
    Oh.
[21:12] Yuta
    Ayase-san?
[21:14] Saki
    Then you don't need to force yourself to go.
[21:19] Yuta
    Aren't you going? To the pool?
[21:21] Saki
    No, I'm not.
[21:30] (Flashback) Saki
    Starting tomorrow,
    I'm going to be working at your store.
[21:34] (Flashback) Yuta
