**[00:11] ---**
I braided it the other day, too.
**[00:14] ---**
You just let her do what she wants, huh.
**[00:16] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[00:18] ---**
That's so cute, Miyamura-kun!
**[00:20] ---**
I love your hair like that!
**[00:22] ---**
Me, too! You should keep it that way!
**[00:24] ---**
Oh, Hori-san did it for you? It's adorable!
**[00:28] ---**
Man, your face is so tiny and cute, too!
**[00:32] ---**
Oh, there's the bell.
**[00:34] ---**
See you tomorrow!
**[00:39] ---**
Ow!
**[00:39] ---**
Hori! It's not his fault!
**[00:43] ---**
C'mon, let's go!
**[00:46] ---**
Hey...
**[01:07] ---**
Horimiya
**[02:30] ---**
Hey, can I have my bag?
**[02:35] ---**
Are you mad at me?
**[02:38] ---**
Is it because of those girls?
**[02:42] ---**
Well, yeah, duh!
**[02:43] ---**
They treated you like
you were invisible before,
**[02:45] ---**
but as soon as you cut your hair,
oh, *now* they see you!
**[02:47] ---**
And they keep putting their paws
all over you right in front of me!
**[02:52] ---**
Not really.
**[02:53] ---**
You sure?
**[02:58] ---**
Miyamura?
**[03:01] ---**
It *is* you.
**[03:05] ---**
You should probably stop, dude.
**[03:09] ---**
He's all gloomy and depressing.
**[03:10] ---**
Whoa, I totally couldn't tell.
Good eye, Tanihara.
**[03:15] ---**
Dude, you're such an ass.
**[03:17] ---**
So what? You been doing okay?
**[03:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:20] ---**
Damn, dude, you got tall.
And holy shit, your piercings.
**[03:24] ---**
Glad you guys are
doing okay, too, Tanihara.
**[03:26] ---**
Ugh, when you say my name,
it totally skeeves me out.
**[03:30] ---**
What, did you finally grow
a pair in high school? Dumbass.
**[03:34] ---**
And what the hell? You having
some weak-ass chick carry your bag?
**[03:39] ---**
Cut it out, Tanihara.
She might be his girlfriend.
**[03:42] ---**
Damn, you really scored,
Miyamura. Nice job.
**[03:46] ---**
C'mon, say something.
**[03:49] ---**
Are you done?
**[03:51] ---**
Oh, hey, are you his girlfriend?
**[03:55] ---**
Do you know what he
was like in middle school?
**[03:57] ---**
He was so emo and always by himself!
**[04:00] ---**
Talk about pathe...
**[04:01] ---**
Hey.
**[04:03] ---**
I'm *asking* if you guys are done talking.
**[04:06] ---**
Are you?
**[04:09] ---**
Huh?
**[04:12] ---**
If you are, then piss off, assholes.
**[04:20] ---**
I mean, I was already in a crappy mood,
**[04:24] ---**
but then they started
treating you like that.
**[04:27] ---**
How was I supposed to hold back?
**[04:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:30] ---**
Seriously, I can't believe
they were so mean to you!
**[04:33] ---**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** It's Hard, but Not Impossible
**[04:37] ---**
A small fry and a drink. Is that all?
**[04:41] ---**
Damn, Tanihara...
**[04:43] ---**
Did you start taking
karate classes or something?
**[04:46] ---**
I just ran into Miyamura.
**[04:48] ---**
Miyamura?
**[04:51] ---**
Didn't you use to tease him
back in middle school?
**[05:04] ---**
Bunnies
**[05:17] ---**
Whatever.
**[05:22] ---**
Y'know, there was this chick with him.
**[05:26] ---**
I think she was his girlfriend.
Do you know her, Shindo?
**[05:30] ---**
Miyamura's girlfriend?
Oh, you mean Hori-san.
**[05:33] ---**
So her name's Hori-san.
**[05:35] ---**
You should probably stop
teasing him like you did back then.
**[05:39] ---**
Miyamura's really leveled up his DEF stats.
**[05:42] ---**
What, is his girlfriend his
summon or something?
**[05:46] ---**
He says he doesn't care about him,
but he keeps bothering him.
**[05:49] ---**
He just can't get him out of his head.
**[06:00] ---**
Does it hurt?
**[06:01] ---**
Huh? What're you talking about?
**[06:04] ---**
Never mind.
**[06:05] ---**
Thanks, Hori-san.
**[06:08] ---**
What's going on? Out with it!
**[06:14] ---**
I have someone who'll get mad on my behalf.
**[06:18] ---**
She's right here with me.
**[06:21] ---**
U-Use your open hand.
**[06:23] ---**
Just a little slap!
**[06:25] ---**
No.
**[06:27] ---**
Why not? You did it before,
just do it again, like *bam*!
**[06:32] ---**
I *said*, no way!
**[06:34] ---**
C'mon, please!
**[06:36] ---**
Just one more!
**[06:38] ---**
That is the least punchable face ever.
**[06:41] ---**
C'mon, she's begging you, Miyamura!
**[06:44] ---**
Where the hell did you come from, Shindo?!
**[06:46] ---**
Over there.
**[06:49] ---**
I was just gonna stalk you from afar,
**[06:50] ---**
but you were being so mean to
Hori-san that I just couldn't just watch!
**[06:54] ---**
What kind of man are you?!
**[06:55] ---**
You were stalking me?
**[06:57] ---**
Stay out of this.
You have no idea what's going on.
**[07:00] ---**
I mean, it's probably
something sexual, right?
**[07:02] ---**
Not at *all*.
**[07:04] ---**
Aww, what, do you not love me anymore?
**[07:09] ---**
Th-That's not it!
**[07:11] ---**
Aww, poor Hori-san!
**[07:13] ---**
Quiet, you!
**[07:15] ---**
Hey, I can help you instead!
**[07:18] ---**
Whatever you want, I'm here.
Or am I the wrong man for the job?
**[07:21] ---**
Yep. It's gotta be Miyamura.
**[07:24] ---**
So it *is* something sexual!
**[07:26] ---**
Do you even have a brain in there, dude?!
**[07:29] ---**
Look, we're leaving! C'mon, Hori-san.
**[07:34] ---**
Hori-san?
**[07:35] ---**
Louder.
**[07:37] ---**
Oh my God!
**[07:40] ---**
Move your ass, Kyoko!
**[07:42] ---**
Later, Shindo! And this
*isn't* anything sexual, got it?!
**[07:45] ---**
G-Got it.
**[07:47] ---**
Ooh, can we go by the
convenience store, Miyamura?
**[07:49] ---**
Sure, you dumb bitch!
**[07:51] ---**
What the actual hell?
**[07:54] ---**
Tanihara.
**[07:56] ---**
I'm thirsty. Buy me a drink.
**[07:59] ---**
Buy your own damn drink!
**[08:01] ---**
Whoa, who put a stick up *your* ass?
**[08:04] ---**
Shut up.
**[08:05] ---**
Stop loitering in the parking lot, morons.
**[08:10] ---**
The hell's your problem, bitch?!
**[08:13] ---**
*It's his summon*!
**[08:16] ---**
How about you take your bitch ass and...
**[08:17] ---**
Don't talk to her like that, you moron!
**[08:20] ---**
Why're you yelling at *me*?!
**[08:22] ---**
We're not loitering!
We're picking up trash!
**[08:24] ---**
Yeah, yeah! We're Recycling Buddies!
**[08:26] ---**
Oh, is that it? Good work, guys.
**[08:30] ---**
That was a close one.
**[08:32] ---**
Dude, if you'd pissed her off,
she would've bashed our skulls in!
**[08:36] ---**
What, like some monster?
**[08:39] ---**
Hey, isn't that Miyamura?
**[08:41] ---**
Ugh. Next time I see that guy...
***SIGN*** Got snacks!
**[08:43] ---**
WHAP
***SIGN*** You sure took
your time, bitch!
***SIGN*** I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
***SIGN*** Get a move on, moron!
**[08:48] ---**
Us < Kyoko Hori < Miyamura
**[08:48] ---**
He's a monster, too!
**[08:52] ---**
Holy shit.
**[08:53] ---**
What the hell happened to you guys?
**[08:59] ---**
I don't mean to kinkshame, but...
**[09:01] ---**
Is she right in the head?
**[09:05] ---**
Hori-san, look...
**[09:14] ---**
It's fine. Whatever you want.
**[09:20] ---**
I'm just going to stop thinking about it.
**[09:25] ---**
Miyamura sure has changed, like damn.
**[09:28] ---**
A high school transformation?
**[09:29] ---**
That's still some transformation.
**[09:31] ---**
He barely talked back to us in middle
school, and now he's hitting girls?
**[09:39] ---**
I'm leaving.
**[09:40] ---**
Wait, you're leaving?
**[09:43] ---**
Dammit.
**[09:46] ---**
I'm back!
**[09:49] ---**
I'm heading out!
**[09:51] ---**
Already?
**[09:52] ---**
Be back by dinner!
**[09:55] ---**
You're still here, Kyosuke?
**[09:57] ---**
I can't believe I have to say this,
but this is my house, too.
**[10:00] ---**
Oh, Kyosuke-san.
**[10:03] ---**
Could I ask you for your advice?
**[10:06] ---**
Hell yeah, I'm in!
**[10:08] ---**
Wait, what? That's suspicious.
**[10:10] ---**
Shut it, it's time for a man-to-man!
**[10:17] ---**
So, what's up? You good?
**[10:19] ---**
Why're we in the bathroom?
**[10:21] ---**
I had a question for you about Hori-san.
**[10:25] ---**
Damn, she preggers again?
**[10:27] ---**
What do you mean, *again*?!
**[10:29] ---**
No, no, just... she really likes it
when I get mad and yell at her.
**[10:35] ---**
The hell? Is that her kink or something?
**[10:37] ---**
*Deflates*
**[10:38] ---**
That's what I thought, too.
**[10:39] ---**
Maybe it's just 'cause it's the exact
opposite of how you normally act?
**[10:43] ---**
The exact opposite?
**[10:46] ---**
Like if you got all dressed up
to go to the office?
**[10:47] ---**
*Smart!*
**[10:49] ---**
Ouch, but yeah.
**[10:52] ---**
Think of it like taming a fierce golem!
**[10:55] ---**
That makes sense.
**[10:58] ---**
C'mon, get out of there.
How am I supposed to bathe?
**[11:03] ---**
Kyoko! C'mere and sit down!
**[11:05] ---**
No thanks.
**[11:07] ---**
But look how sad and
worried Miyamura-kun is!
**[11:10] ---**
You're such a pain.
**[11:12] ---**
Miyamura-kun's trying *so* hard
to live up to your expectations!
**[11:16] ---**
What?! Where's this coming from?!
**[11:18] ---**
I don't need *you* to lecture me here!
**[11:21] ---**
Stop blabbing about stupid crap
and help out with the chores for once!
**[11:24] ---**
She has a point.
**[11:25] ---**
Ow, my feelings!
**[11:27] ---**
Hey, I made curry
the other day! That counts!
**[11:29] ---**
No, it doesn't!
**[11:31] ---**
All you did was microwave it!
**[11:33] ---**
But you said it was yummy!
**[11:34] ---**
Yeah, because they make
the prepackaged stuff yummy!
**[11:37] ---**
Hey! Sota even got seconds!
**[11:39] ---**
Why is it perfectly warm?!
**[11:42] ---**
Miyamura-kun's dripping wet!
Get your clothes off, quick!
**[11:44] ---**
Wait, hold on!
**[11:45] ---**
Don't strip in front of me, moron!
**[11:49] ---**
So I went to karaoke
with Shu the other day.
**[11:53] ---**
Sing in English?
**[11:54] ---**
No way, man! It's way too hard.
**[11:57] ---**
All he ever sings are *enka* songs and rap.
**[12:01] ---**
He sure does listen to everything, huh.
**[12:03] ---**
I know he listens to
Western pop, too, but damn...
**[12:08] ---**
Hey, Mizouchi.
**[12:11] ---**
Damn, straight ignored.
**[12:13] ---**
Probably 'cause I'm here.
**[12:15] ---**
Huh?
**[12:16] ---**
Apparently he has a crush on Hori-san.
**[12:20] ---**
Damn, how many guys
want to be with her now?
**[12:23] ---**
*rrrrrumble...*
**[12:23] ---**
There's one thing I know
about crushing on Hori-san...
**[12:26] ---**
Don't fall for her
unless you really mean it.
**[12:29] ---**
Speaking of Hori, where's she at?
**[12:30] ---**
The student council room, I think.
**[12:32] ---**
Oh, I don't have my phone.
**[12:34] ---**
Did you leave it in the science lab?
**[12:36] ---**
I'll go look.
**[12:37] ---**
Science Lab
**[12:45] ---**
Did you forget something,
too, Mizouchi-kun?
**[12:47] ---**
Have you seen my phone?
**[12:49] ---**
No.
**[12:51] ---**
Okay.
**[12:55] ---**
Why would it be in there?
**[12:59] ---**
Well, nobody else has
had class in here since we did,
**[13:04] ---**
so it's gotta still be in here somewhere.
**[13:11] ---**
What's your number?
**[13:13] ---**
Huh?
**[13:14] ---**
I'll call it.
**[13:15] ---**
Umm, 090...
**[13:26] ---**
Found it.
**[13:29] ---**
It was in your pocket the whole time?
**[13:32] ---**
Thanks! You're a lifesaver...
**[13:34] ---**
Wait, why's the screen all black?
**[13:37] ---**
How did you break it two seconds later?!
**[13:39] ---**
Why the hell is she with you?!
**[13:42] ---**
No, I didn't mean...
**[13:46] ---**
Hey, Mizouchi-kun...
**[13:49] ---**
If you had to... could you punch Hori-san?
**[13:52] ---**
What?! Punch her?! Like, if were fighting?
**[13:55] ---**
Yeah, I suppose, kinda.
**[13:58] ---**
Oh. I could *never* hit Hori!
**[14:03] ---**
Really?
**[14:05] ---**
Then you could never be with her.
**[14:12] ---**
Hey, Miyamura! Did you find your phone?
**[14:15] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[14:16] ---**
Toru told me you're always
leaving it all over the place.
**[14:21] ---**
You'd better be more careful with your...
**[14:24] ---**
Shut the hell up, bitch!
Stay quiet for once!
**[14:29] ---**
Move!
**[14:31] ---**
Hori!
**[14:32] ---**
Leave her alone, Mizouchi-kun.
**[14:34] ---**
Oh... uh, okay.
**[14:43] ---**
Miyamura...
**[14:45] ---**
I thought you were the kind of guy
who could never stand up for himself.
**[14:50] ---**
I thought you were some loser.
**[14:52] ---**
But guess it's easy for you to be
confident around your girlfriend, huh?
**[14:56] ---**
Yeah, super easy.
**[14:57] ---**
Whoa, why are your eyes all red?!
Were you rubbing them or something?!
**[15:07] ---**
Miyamura! Go away, there's not enough room!
**[15:10] ---**
Go where?
**[15:12] ---**
Outside, jeez! Where are we, anyway?!
**[15:15] ---**
Outside.
**[15:16] ---**
Huh?
**[15:17] ---**
This is outside.
The only free space there is.
**[15:21] ---**
What the hell?! This locker
or whatever isn't "outside" at all!
**[15:25] ---**
This is what it's like "outside."
**[15:29] ---**
You've always been on the "inside,"
so you don't know how it feels.
**[15:33] ---**
Inside, outside, what
the hell are you on about?
**[15:37] ---**
You're the one who brought it up.
**[15:39] ---**
I think this is the first time
we've ever talked like this.
**[15:45] ---**
Do you not like tight spaces?
**[15:47] ---**
I hate them.
**[15:48] ---**
Huh. So do I.
**[15:51] ---**
Do you like being on the inside?
**[15:53] ---**
It's better than *this*.
**[15:56] ---**
Even if there's nobody on the inside?
**[16:00] ---**
If all the people on the inside
with you came outside,
**[16:04] ---**
then you'd be all alone in there.
**[16:06] ---**
Yeah...
**[16:09] ---**
You don't care if you're inside or outside.
**[16:14] ---**
You just care that
people are there with you.
**[16:17] ---**
People who are on your side.
**[16:20] ---**
That's it.
**[16:26] ---**
I just...
**[16:29] ---**
Bunnies
**[16:47] ---**
Huh? Miyamura's number?
Yeah, I have it, but why do you want it?
**[16:51] ---**
Doesn't matter, just tell me.
**[16:53] ---**
Okay, just hold on.
**[16:55] ---**
Everyone knew the rabbits liked
Miyamura better than anyone.
**[17:01] ---**
Huh? Why're we talking about rabbits?
**[17:03] ---**
Shut up. Just tell me his number.
**[17:18] ---**
Ugh, he's ignoring me.
**[17:23] ---**
Izumi! Could you go take the sign in?
**[17:27] ---**
Got it.
**[17:34] ---**
You guys closed already?
**[17:35] ---**
Sorry, we'll be closed tomorrow, too,
but we'll be open the day after...
**[17:53] ---**
If you turn the corner and go down
for a bit, you'll find another cake shop.
**[17:57] ---**
You'll find a much bigger bakery
that's probably still open now.
**[18:00] ---**
I want something from here.
**[18:02] ---**
Oh, uh, you sure?
**[18:04] ---**
It's fine, I'll come back
the day after tomorrow.
**[18:08] ---**
I hear your cheesecake's good.
**[18:10] ---**
It is.
**[18:14] ---**
Cool. See you in two days, then.
**[18:17] ---**
Oh, our fruit tart's good!
**[18:21] ---**
It's good, too.
**[18:23] ---**
Then I'll get that one, too.
**[18:28] ---**
Two of each.
**[18:33] ---**
Two of each, got it.
**[18:42] ---**
I'll be back.
**[18:44] ---**
Okay.
**[18:45] ---**
Oh, I tried calling you!
**[18:47] ---**
You did?
**[18:48] ---**
Sorry, my phone's busted.
**[18:50] ---**
I'm gonna go get it fixed tomorrow.
**[18:54] ---**
Oh. Okay.
**[18:57] ---**
I totally thought he was ignoring me...
**[19:01] ---**
I was the one ignoring *him* all this time.
**[19:06] ---**
It was me.
**[19:09] ---**
Did it stress you out?
**[19:11] ---**
Huh?
**[19:12] ---**
No, never mind! I'm heading out.
**[19:16] ---**
Tanihara-kun?
**[19:19] ---**
Thanks for coming.
**[19:36] ---**
I forgot to feed them.
**[19:39] ---**
Even though I was supposed to.
**[19:40] ---**
By end of summer break, they were all dead.
**[19:44] ---**
I was the one who told
everyone it was your fault.
**[19:48] ---**
It was me!
**[19:52] ---**
Okay.
**[19:54] ---**
Miyamura, you know, I'm...
**[20:00] ---**
I'm...
**[20:05] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[20:08] ---**
What if I'd been able
to tell him back then?
**[20:12] ---**
It hurts my heart to think about it.
**[20:16] ---**
Okay, last one.
**[20:19] ---**
Thanks for helping out.
**[20:23] ---**
Yearbooks!
**[20:26] ---**
Oh, that's from middle school.
**[20:30] ---**
What'd she look like back then?
**[20:32] ---**
Peek and you're a dead man.
**[20:35] ---**
They're so annoying.
**[20:37] ---**
They're big, and in the way, but you don't
actually wanna throw them away...
**[20:43] ---**
Did you throw yours away already, Miyamura?
**[20:49] ---**
Yearbook
**[20:49] ---**
I wanted to...
**[20:54] ---**
But they're so huge and heavy,
I didn't know what to do with them,
**[20:59] ---**
so I just ended up keeping them.
**[21:02] ---**
Now, though, they're actually
pretty important to me.
**[21:08] ---**
Back then, Miyamura must've
wanted to throw it all away.
**[21:13] ---**
I don't know what he was
like back in middle school,
**[21:17] ---**
but I get the feeling that he hated
everything and was just drifting along.
**[21:21] ---**
That that's what life was like for him.
**[21:24] ---**
But now, he can look back and feel glad
that he didn't throw it all away.
**[21:30] ---**
Wonder what Katagiri's
yearbook is going to look like.
**[21:33] ---**
Guess we'll find out when we get it.
**[21:36] ---**
They took the pictures
for it back in April, right?
**[21:39] ---**
I hope they got a picture
of me with Mizouchi-kun.
**[21:43] ---**
Wait, why Mizouchi?
**[21:45] ---**
We've kinda gotten close lately.
**[21:47] ---**
Really?
**[21:49] ---**
He helped me find my phone.
**[21:51] ---**
He was kind of mean
to me before, but it's all good.
**[21:56] ---**
Does he get off on that?
**[21:58] ---**
I think I might get along
with Tanihara-kun, too.
**[22:03] ---**
Wow.
**[22:06] ---**
It might be really hard,
**[22:09] ---**
but I don't think there's
a person in the world
**[22:13] ---**
you can't eventually be friends with.
