**[00:13] ---**
I've had more opportunities to hang out with Sensei
since summer break started...
**[00:17] ---**
But instead, it's like things
feel kinda awkward...
**[00:21] ---**
She's still cheerful around
me the same as always,
**[00:24] ---**
but it's like she's somewhat
different than before...
**[00:29] ---**
What's up with wearing your uniform?
**[00:32] ---**
I started writing my novel for the club publication,
but I've hit a wall, so...
**[00:36] ---**
I thought I'd go to the clubroom
and borrow a book for reference.
**[00:39] ---**
Huh...
**[00:42] ---**
Oh hey, did you by any
chance take my underwear?
**[00:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[00:46] ---**
Mine are the only ones missing from the ones
that were hanging out to dry.
**[00:49] ---**
A-as if I'd take them! Search the yard!
**[00:52] ---**
Jeez, the NORMAL thing
is to not suspect me immediately...
**[00:55] ---**
Then what was that thing
from the other day about...?
**[01:00] ---**
Uh... if you're free, want to come with me?
**[01:03] ---**
We could grab a coffee or something
at L'Amant on the way back, too.
**[01:05] ---**
That's all right. I don't
particularly have a reason to.
**[01:08] ---**
As for reference books,
the ones I have on hand are enough.
**[01:11] ---**
Why don't you go by yourself?
**[01:15] ---**
Inexperienced, heartless, but even so,
**[01:21] ---**
Be beautiful
**[01:35] ---**
No Destiny, unworthy
**[01:39] ---**
If it's like this, then
probably things will go well
***SIGN*** You okay...? Did something happen...? I'll... Be waiting for you...
**[01:41] ---**
If we just talk as if it's never enough
**[01:43] ---**
Things, money, love, words,
**[01:45] ---**
I'm tired of self-asserting myself already
***SIGN*** I got here before you. I have the correct meeting place, right? Did something happen? You okay?
**[01:51] ---**
Déjà vu, what are you so unsatisfied about?
**[01:54] ---**
You've said all sorts of selfish things,
**[01:56] ---**
What more could you possibly want?
**[01:58] ---**
I kind of don't mind that about you
**[02:05] ---**
Honestly, "I'm sick of hearing that line"
**[02:08] ---**
The one thing I don't want is ambiguousness
**[02:12] ---**
Enough. Even if you say to do this or that,
**[02:15] ---**
Even if you say love me, or why?
**[02:17] ---**
It's easy if it's just for fun
**[02:18] ---**
And that it's reckless serious negotiating
**[02:20] ---**
How many times are those
worn out unexpectedly
**[02:24] ---**
Serious words going to be used?
**[02:27] ---**
We were hoping anyway, even
if it was a fixed race,
**[02:30] ---**
Even all those quoted phrases,
**[02:31] ---**
Making backtracking words taboo,
**[02:36] ---**
Take a hint, don't let it rain
**[02:37] ---**
Domestic Girlfriend
**[02:49] ---**
A woman's mind... I don't get it.
**[02:52] ---**
Usually, after doing something like that,
aren't they more affectionate?
**[02:56] ---**
No, it's probably wrong to
expect "normal" from her...
**[03:01] ---**
Huh?
**[03:02] ---**
Whoa!
**[03:07] ---**
Ow...
**[03:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:10] ---**
A bike?! Inside the school?!
**[03:12] ---**
My life sucks!
**[03:17] ---**
Uh...
**[03:18] ---**
Second-year?!
**[03:20] ---**
Y-yeah...?
**[03:22] ---**
Woo-hoo! Same here! Same here!
Classmates! I'm Alex! And you?
**[03:27] ---**
Uh... I'm Fujii.
**[03:30] ---**
Nah, not that. First name. I'm Al.
**[03:35] ---**
Natsuo...
**[03:36] ---**
Nat-chan! Nice to meetcha!
**[03:41] ---**
CAFÉ
L'AMANT
**[03:43] ---**
Oh my, what a pretty-faced doll.
A friend of yours, Natsuo-chan?
**[03:47] ---**
Not exactly a friend... He apparently lived overseas
and has now transferred to my school.
**[03:51] ---**
And I'm not a doll. Hi there!
**[03:53] ---**
I'm an American-made stud
of Japanese descent.
**[03:55] ---**
I see. An idiot has arrived in Japan...
**[03:58] ---**
Hey Boss, will somewhere around here do...?
**[04:00] ---**
Okay~!
**[04:02] ---**
What's that for? Is it an announcement
for a festival or something?
**[04:05] ---**
That's not it. You see, it's
a request from the police.
**[04:08] ---**
Apparently, an underwear thief has
hit this area repeatedly recently.
**[04:10] ---**
That's a warning notice poster.
**[04:13] ---**
An underwear thief?
**[04:14] ---**
So, he's one of those proverbial "hentai" guys!
I'd heard of them over where I was, too.
**[04:20] ---**
What is it about underwear that turns them on
when its not even being worn by someone?
**[04:22] ---**
If no one's wearing them, they're just cloth.
**[04:24] ---**
You say that like you're a chick magnet.
**[04:27] ---**
Well, you know, life overseas
was all smiles for me.
**[04:31] ---**
Then what were the names and ages
of all your girlfriends up until now?
**[04:37] ---**
He's lying...
**[04:41] ---**
Nat-chan, you have a girlfriend?
**[04:43] ---**
Huh? Me? I... don't have
one right now, but...
**[04:47] ---**
I see. Well, they do say that
Japanese people are shy.
**[04:50] ---**
Actually, it depends on the person.
**[04:52] ---**
I have both guy and girl friends
who are pretty assertive, so...
**[04:55] ---**
Huh? Girls, too? Cool! That's cool!
**[04:58] ---**
Introduce them to me! You
know, once school starts, I...
**[05:01] ---**
H-hey, look! Isn't he that underwear thief?!
**[05:05] ---**
Let's catch him!
**[05:06] ---**
What?!
**[05:12] ---**
That street...!
**[05:13] ---**
Hey! Hold it!
**[05:24] ---**
Don't let him get away, Nat-chan!
**[05:29] ---**
Say your prayers!
**[05:31] ---**
Mission complete!
**[05:33] ---**
Didn't you see that I was behind him...?
**[05:36] ---**
Do you think we'll be on the news?
**[05:38] ---**
I don't know, over something
like an underwear thief...
**[05:42] ---**
I was shocked to hear you say
that you were at the police station.
**[05:46] ---**
I thought I should at least clear myself
of the false accusation from lunchtime today.
**[05:49] ---**
And this person?
**[05:50] ---**
Huh? Oh... I kinda got acquainted
with him at school...
**[05:53] ---**
Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:55] ---**
Um, and you are...?
**[05:57] ---**
Oh, I'm the one that might
have fell victim today...
**[06:00] ---**
I see.
**[06:01] ---**
Well, we can't return anything
to you yet, but would you
**[06:03] ---**
mind checking to see if yours are here?
**[06:05] ---**
Sure.
**[06:07] ---**
Nat-chan, Nat-chan! Who's she?
**[06:10] ---**
Oh, um... a friend, I guess?
**[06:13] ---**
She's really cute...!
**[06:16] ---**
I wanna go out with that girl!
Nat-chan, introduce me to her!
**[06:23] ---**
So, were yours there after all?
**[06:26] ---**
Yeah, they were.
**[06:28] ---**
Since they're evidence, apparently it'll be
quite a while before they get returned.
**[06:31] ---**
It seems like he'd stolen quite a lot just today,
so there were a lot lined up.
**[06:36] ---**
They were mostly relatively
small sizes, so it looks
**[06:38] ---**
like the suspect had pedophilic tendencies.
**[06:40] ---**
Nat-chan, introduce me to her!
**[06:43] ---**
I wonder how I feel... about Rui...
**[06:51] ---**
An underwear thief?!
**[06:53] ---**
And you caught him, Natsuo-kun?!
**[06:55] ---**
Were you okay? He didn't attack you back
or anything like that...?
**[06:58] ---**
Yes, I'm fine. I was also
with a well-built guy, so...
**[07:02] ---**
I see. Thank goodness...
**[07:05] ---**
Just as I thought... She's
somewhat different than before.
**[07:08] ---**
If this had been like before...
**[07:12] ---**
It's already this late?
**[07:14] ---**
We gotta hurry and make dinner.
**[07:20] ---**
So... you know the guy that I was with today?
**[07:24] ---**
His name's Alex and...
**[07:26] ---**
The next time you're free,
wanna go hang out with him,
**[07:28] ---**
like the three of us together?
**[07:30] ---**
Huh? Why? He's your friend, right?
**[07:33] ---**
Well, yeah, but...
**[07:35] ---**
Uh, that is... Apparently
Al's interested in you.
**[07:40] ---**
I mean, he doesn't seem like a bad guy, so...
**[07:43] ---**
So, you're... trying to set
me up... with that guy...?
**[07:59] ---**
Hey...!
**[08:13] ---**
Come in...
**[08:17] ---**
I made yaki-udon... You want some...?
**[08:40] ---**
It's good...
**[08:49] ---**
So, I'm sorry about earlier.
**[08:52] ---**
For saying something insensitive...
**[08:55] ---**
Even though I was asked,
it's not something that I should've said-
**[08:57] ---**
If you're going to apologize...
**[08:59] ---**
isn't there something you should be doing?
**[09:27] ---**
Sorry.
**[09:30] ---**
I don't... really mind...
**[09:48] ---**
KEIGO HIGASHINO
FATE
**[09:59] ---**
Sorry... I'll come back later...
**[10:02] ---**
Sensei, wait!
**[10:04] ---**
Please wait!
**[10:06] ---**
It's not what it looks like!
**[10:07] ---**
What then?
**[10:10] ---**
Sorry. My thoughts are all over the place.
**[10:15] ---**
Right now, no matter what you say,
I wouldn't be able to believe you...
**[10:30] ---**
Hina-nee, I'm coming in.
**[10:36] ---**
I figure you would probably
want to have a talk with me.
**[10:40] ---**
You know me all too well...
**[10:47] ---**
Just now... which one of you...?
**[10:50] ---**
Me. I'm the one who initiated things.
**[10:52] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[10:55] ---**
You know, I think I might like him.
**[10:58] ---**
Rui...
**[11:00] ---**
Rui, what're you saying?!
You know that Natsuo-kun is our family!
**[11:04] ---**
Do you think that it's okay
to have that kind of relationship?!
**[11:08] ---**
But it's not like we're
related by blood or anything.
**[11:16] ---**
Rui... I get your point of view.
**[11:19] ---**
But...
**[11:21] ---**
I think that Mom would be sad...
**[11:39] ---**
No way! She said no?!
**[11:43] ---**
I underestimated the shyness
of Japanese girls...
**[11:46] ---**
But I won't give up!
We're at the same school,
**[11:49] ---**
so there'll be plenty of chances, right?!
**[11:51] ---**
Y-yeah...
**[11:53] ---**
Nat-chan, you seem particularly down today.
Did something happen?
**[11:58] ---**
Right now, things are strained
within my family and...
**[12:01] ---**
the future's kinda uncertain.
**[12:06] ---**
A fight?
**[12:08] ---**
Well, something like that...
**[12:09] ---**
Did you talk things out properly?
**[12:13] ---**
That's not good, you know?
**[12:15] ---**
It seems like conveying your point without talking
is considered a good thing in Japan but...
**[12:21] ---**
You can't tell the other person's feelings
if you don't ask them.
**[12:24] ---**
They can't tell yours
if you don't tell them.
**[12:26] ---**
Am I right?
**[12:30] ---**
Then Al, you should go
talk to Rui in person too-
**[12:33] ---**
That's one thing. This is another.
**[12:47] ---**
You're there, right?
**[12:49] ---**
You don't have to open the door,
please just listen.
**[12:52] ---**
About yesterday-
**[12:53] ---**
Rui started it, right?
**[12:55] ---**
I heard it from Rui...
**[12:57] ---**
About her feelings and her point of view.
**[13:01] ---**
Natsuo-kun, what about you?
**[13:04] ---**
What about me?
**[13:06] ---**
Do you like Rui?
**[13:12] ---**
My feelings...
**[13:14] ---**
haven't changed at all since you
and I went to the beach, Sensei...
**[13:18] ---**
Then, why...?!
**[13:27] ---**
I'm...
**[13:28] ---**
going to move out of this house...
**[13:34] ---**
To live by yourself all of a sudden...
**[13:36] ---**
You're not by any chance
against our remarriage-
**[13:39] ---**
No, not at all! I'm all for it!
**[13:42] ---**
I'd always had a desire from
before to become independent,
**[13:45] ---**
but I was worried about Mom and Rui.
**[13:48] ---**
But I can relax now that you
guys are with them, Fuji-san.
**[13:51] ---**
It'll be lonelier, but you're now a respectable
adult member of society after all.
**[13:55] ---**
Hina-nee...
**[13:58] ---**
Is it my fault?
**[14:03] ---**
We might as well go somewhere together
while Hina-san is still here...
**[14:07] ---**
I know! There's going to be
a pre-festival vigil on Saturday,
**[14:10] ---**
at the shrine in the heart of the shopping district.
Shall we all go together?
**[14:21] ---**
Wow! It's quite the turnout!
**[14:33] ---**
What do you think? About Hina-nee...
**[14:36] ---**
Part of the reason for her moving out
is definitely because of us, right...?
**[14:41] ---**
Well... yeah.
**[14:43] ---**
I wasn't really thinking too
carefully while doing it,
**[14:46] ---**
but we should probably hold
off for a while, right?
**[14:48] ---**
The kissing...
**[14:50] ---**
Yeah, I suppose so...
**[14:53] ---**
Oh, that person there.
**[14:55] ---**
I'm pretty sure she's from L'Amant...
**[14:56] ---**
Ayano-san!
**[14:58] ---**
Oh! Natsuo-kun and Rui-Rui-chan!
You guys came too.
**[15:02] ---**
Your son?
**[15:03] ---**
Yep!
**[15:04] ---**
How old are you?
**[15:06] ---**
You're five, huh?
**[15:08] ---**
Introduce yourself properly, Youta.
**[15:11] ---**
Hurry!
**[15:13] ---**
I was thinking that I have to also show my son
the manager's gallant figure today.
**[15:17] ---**
The manager's?
**[15:18] ---**
The businesses in the shopping district
each take turns, so for this year... Look!
**[15:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:26] ---**
Oh, hey, Natsuo-chan!
**[15:28] ---**
What's with that getup...?
**[15:30] ---**
Since you made it here,
might as well dance! Dance!
**[15:39] ---**
GOLDFISH SCOOPING
**[15:39] ---**
Goldfish scooping!
**[15:41] ---**
You'll probably take a while,
so we're going to go look around at other things.
**[15:45] ---**
Call my cell phone when you're done.
**[15:47] ---**
Okay!
**[15:51] ---**
Lady, you're awesome!
**[15:52] ---**
46 of them with one scoop...!
**[15:55] ---**
And now we catch and release.
**[15:57] ---**
What?! What a waste!
**[15:59] ---**
I'll give them out to any kid who wants any.
**[16:01] ---**
Excuse me, may I have some bags-
**[16:14] ---**
Sensei.
**[16:17] ---**
Natsuo-kun...
**[16:18] ---**
What a relief! My cell phone broke
and I didn't know what I was going to do...
**[16:23] ---**
The crowds. We'll get separated, so...
**[16:42] ---**
This is... the back of the shrine?
Where are Mom and the others?
**[16:46] ---**
Can we talk, just the two of us?
**[16:49] ---**
Sensei, the reason why you're
moving out of the house
**[16:51] ---**
is definitely because of me, right?
**[16:53] ---**
Based on my timing of when
I said I was moving out,
**[16:55] ---**
I don't blame you for taking it that way.
**[16:58] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[16:59] ---**
I'd been thinking of maybe
doing it for a while.
**[17:02] ---**
And that's turned out to be now, that's all.
**[17:04] ---**
So, don't feel like you're responsible, okay?
**[17:09] ---**
Sensei... when you're being evasive,
**[17:11] ---**
do you know that you look down
to the side when you talk?
**[17:14] ---**
If it's my fault, then please reconsider
something like living by yourself.
**[17:18] ---**
I won't do that kinda thing
with Rui anymore and...
**[17:20] ---**
I'll make every effort not to act
so obvious around you, Sensei.
**[17:24] ---**
If I do anything that offends
you, I'll fix it, so...!
**[17:26] ---**
That's not it.
**[17:28] ---**
This is for your sake, Natsuo-kun,
and something that's necessary for my own sake too...
**[17:33] ---**
What do you mean, "something
that's necessary"...?
**[17:38] ---**
Hey, Sensei?! Please wait!
**[17:40] ---**
This conversation's not over yet!
**[17:42] ---**
I'm sorry. There's nothing
left to talk about.
**[17:44] ---**
What's with that?!
**[17:46] ---**
You know, I haven't heard
a reason from you yet!
**[17:48] ---**
Stop it. Let me go.
**[17:50] ---**
What were you offended by?
**[17:51] ---**
I said let go! Really, I've had enough!
**[17:54] ---**
I'm not letting go! Not while
we're angry with each other-
**[17:57] ---**
Ow! You bit... What?!
**[18:05] ---**
Sensei! Come on, please wait!
**[18:07] ---**
Leave me alone!
**[18:08] ---**
If I was rude to you, then I'll apologize!
**[18:10] ---**
It's not like I want you to apologize!
I'm just not in that kind of mood to-
**[18:16] ---**
Oh, you're...
**[18:17] ---**
Sir, please get a hold of her!
**[18:20] ---**
Like this?
**[18:20] ---**
Noooooo!
Like this?
**[18:21] ---**
Noooooo!
**[18:22] ---**
Natsuo-kun, what's going on?
**[18:25] ---**
Well, we were in the middle of a conversation,
but she like suddenly got angry and...
**[18:29] ---**
"Suddenly"?
**[18:30] ---**
Oh my, it's true.
Darlin', your face looks extremely ugly right now.
**[18:35] ---**
It's always been ugly.
**[18:36] ---**
That's not... Well, maybe.
**[18:41] ---**
Honestly, what're you doing,
troubling this tender young lad?
**[18:44] ---**
Aren't you the adult?
**[18:46] ---**
You should face him properly.
**[18:48] ---**
Even adults have things they can't stand.
**[18:50] ---**
And I'm sayin' that's where the adult
needs to be accommodating!
**[18:53] ---**
Shame on you for acting this
way towards a young man.
**[18:55] ---**
Then I don't have to be an adult!
**[18:57] ---**
You being a spoiled brat?!
**[18:58] ---**
Boss, it's unusual that you'd
have this much trouble.
**[19:01] ---**
She's so stubborn! It's like
she's a child or an old person!
**[19:04] ---**
It's hard to think she was having
an illicit love affair up until recently.
**[19:08] ---**
I don't think that matters.
**[19:11] ---**
When you feel all "grr!"
licking candy makes it a little better.
**[19:16] ---**
Th-thanks...
**[19:26] ---**
Taste good?
**[19:28] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:34] ---**
It looks like she's calmed down somewhat.
**[19:37] ---**
The rest is up to the
two of you to get along.
**[19:40] ---**
Listen, okay? At times like
this, once she starts talking,
**[19:42] ---**
you let her get it all out
without arguing or asking questions.
**[19:45] ---**
Then she'll feel better and
will be back to normal.
**[19:48] ---**
Well, good luck!
**[19:52] ---**
Rui...
**[19:53] ---**
has been a free spirit since she was little,
and I've always been a little jealous.
**[19:57] ---**
I felt strongly that I had
to "keep it together,"
**[20:01] ---**
so I often acted based on the
situation or sensing the mood.
**[20:05] ---**
But, despite Rui being kind of awkward,
she had a firm grasp on her own identity.
**[20:10] ---**
Lucky... I thought it'd be nice
if I could become like that, too.
**[20:15] ---**
That's my reason for moving out.
**[20:19] ---**
When I saw the two of you kissing...
**[20:21] ---**
more than being worried that our family
would fall apart, my jealousy took over...
**[20:26] ---**
If I stayed any longer with you,
I wouldn't be able to hold back my feelings.
**[20:29] ---**
I thought that I had to
leave before that happened.
**[20:33] ---**
Sensei... that's...
**[20:35] ---**
Something like this... Natsuo-kun,
**[20:37] ---**
you might think, "But you're the
one who rejected me," but...
**[20:41] ---**
I had no choice...!
**[20:43] ---**
As an adult, I can't do
things like Rui can...!
**[20:46] ---**
I kept telling myself
that no, I can't, but...
**[20:46] ---**
I walked a dimly lit
street with my head down,
**[20:50] ---**
it's getting harder and harder
to lie to myself and...
**[20:55] ---**
Without a destination
**[20:55] ---**
Wh-what...?
**[20:57] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[20:58] ---**
It's just that I feel like this is the first
time I got to hear your true feelings, Sensei.
**[20:59] ---**
When I met you, as you were
looking up at the sky,
**[21:02] ---**
On top of that, they were so unexpected
**[21:05] ---**
and that makes me so happy
that I can't help but laugh.
**[21:07] ---**
What's with you?!
**[21:07] ---**
It was simply mystifying
**[21:08] ---**
And here I am, trying to get it all out!
Fine, I've had enough!
**[21:11] ---**
Why look at an empty sky?
**[21:11] ---**
Wait!
**[21:15] ---**
Natsuo-kun...
**[21:16] ---**
You don't have to respond at all.
**[21:17] ---**
I realized by being with you,
**[21:18] ---**
I don't expect anything.
**[21:21] ---**
So, it's okay if I think this way, right...?
**[21:23] ---**
That you and I, Sensei, love each other.
**[21:23] ---**
That I was looking down,
**[21:27] ---**
Instead of answering, please let us stay like this
for a little while longer.
**[21:28] ---**
Probably because I was overthinking things
**[21:33] ---**
Just like this...
**[21:35] ---**
For a little while longer.
**[21:38] ---**
I'm always here for you
**[21:41] ---**
Even if the light disappears,
**[21:47] ---**
The two of us, let's keep holding hands
**[21:51] ---**
If we could keep the tiniest
of hope alive and love,
**[22:01] ---**
We won't be afraid
**[22:04] ---**
If we're in separate places
and it gets painful,
**[22:09] ---**
Remember,
**[22:16] ---**
Even if you lose that world,
**[22:21] ---**
I'll be right here waiting
**[22:33] ---**
I'm always here for you
**[22:36] ---**
Even if the light disappears,
**[22:42] ---**
The two of us, let's keep holding hands
**[22:46] ---**
If we could keep the tiniest
of hope alive and love,
**[22:56] ---**
We won't be afraid
**[23:08] ---**
I'm always here for you
**[23:14] ---**
Now that was fun!
**[23:16] ---**
That was the first time in a
while that we got to relax.
**[23:18] ---**
Yes, indeed!
