# Koikimo
One rainy day, salaryman Amakusa Ryo is saved by a high school girl he doesn't know at the station. He later finds out that the girl is Arima Ichika. Ryo is somewhat of a womanizer and to repay her for saving him, he suggests giving her a kiss or going out on a date with her, in which Ichika tells him he's creepy. This, however, opens a new door for Ryo and he falls madly in love with her. Ever since then, Ryo tries to overly express his feelings to Ichika. Ichika just keeps insulting him and says he's being creepy, but he just seems to take it as her way of showing affection towards him...

*I don't regret*
**[00:05] Ichika**

**[00:13] Ichika**
*As for what I said to him that day...*
**[00:19] Ichika**
*I have nothing but regrets.*
**[00:43] Ryo**
So...
**[00:45] Ryo**
What was her name again?
**[01:01] Ryo**
Ah, Kenny. I know you're both experts,
**[01:04] Ryo**
but please make sure you not only find out,
**[01:07] Ryo**
but also record as much as possible
about these potential customers' needs.
**[01:12] Ryo**
Right. Let's get to it.
Looking forward to seeing you.

Hey, wait.

**[01:53] Ryo**
I'm definitely not seeing her again.
**[02:00] Ryo**
I'm pretty dizzy...
**[02:07] Ryo**
*Oh, shit.*
**[02:10] Ryo**
*I'm falling.*
**[02:19] Ichika**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[02:21] Ryo**
Ow...
**[02:24] Ichika**
Are you okay?
**[02:28] Ryo**
Yeah, I'm fine.
**[02:29] Ichika**
I-I'm sorry! I panicked
and ended up hooking you.
**[02:32] Ichika**
Are you hurt at all?
**[02:33] Ryo**
Nah, I'm fine.
**[02:35] Ryo**
Thanks. I could've been a goner.
**[02:38] Ichika**
I'm sorry I ended up strangling you.
**[02:42] Ichika**
Um, you look a bit pale.
**[02:45] Ryo**
Yeah, I haven't been feeling well.
**[02:47] Ichika**
Huh? Did you have any breakfast?
**[02:50] Ryo**
What? No, I didn't.
**[02:51] Ichika**
That might be why.
**[02:53] Ichika**
Do I have anything to eat... Wait.
**[02:57] Ichika**
Oh, no! I'm going to be late!
**[02:59] Ichika**
Um, uh... Here! You can have this!
**[03:02] Ryo**
Huh?
**[03:03] Ichika**
Well, take care!
**[03:05] Ichika**
I'm going to be late!
**[03:11] Lady worker A**
What should we do for lunch?
**[03:13] Lady worker B**
Want to eat out?
**[03:14] Lady worker A**
Why don't we try that new pasta place?
**[03:18] Guy Worker A**
Think we'll be able to leave on time today?
**[03:20] Guy worker B**
Gonna have to rush after lunch.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Ichika**
Are you okay?
**[03:28] Ryo**
*She had the same uniform as Rio...*
**[03:33] Ryo**
*So much ham...*
**[03:41] Rio**
Welcome back, Onii-chan.
**[03:42] Rio**
I've got a friend over right now.
**[03:46] Ryo**
A friend?
**[03:53] Both**
Hey, I saw you this morning.
**[03:55] Rio**
Wait, you two know each other?
**[03:59] Ichika**
I wouldn't go that far.
**[04:01] Ryo**
She saved my life.
**[04:04] Rio**
Huh?
**[04:07] Rio**
It's Mom. I'll be right back, Ichika.
**[04:10] Ichika**
Sure...
**[04:11] Rio**
I'll ask for the deets after this call.
**[04:14] Rio**
Mom? What's up?
**[04:23] Ryo**
I never thought you'd be
one of my sister's friends.
**[04:27] Ryo**
Uh...
**[04:28] Ichika**
Oh, I'm Arima Ichika.
**[04:30] Ryo**
Ichika-chan. I'm Ryo.
**[04:33] Ryo**
Now that I know you're my sister's
friend, I should thank you properly.
**[04:36] Ichika**
Huh? No, you don't need to do anything.
**[04:39] Ryo**
Maybe clothes or shoes?
**[04:40] Ichika**
No, really...
**[04:41] Ryo**
Yeah, that does seem kinda cheap.
**[04:46] Ryo**
Then how about...
**[04:50] Ryo**
a kiss?
**[04:54] Ichika**
Sorry, what?
**[04:55] Ryo**
Yeah, a kiss might be a bit
much for a high school girl.
**[04:59] Ryo**
You saved my life, so I'll
do pretty much anything.
**[05:03] Ryo**
Of course, if you want, I could
go even further than that.
**[05:07] Ryo**
It'd be a nice memory, wouldn't it?
**[05:09] Ryo**
What do you think?
**[05:16] Ichika**
You're creepy.
**[05:18] Ryo**
Huh?

**[05:29] Ichika**
You're offering up yourself as thanks
for saving you? What are you thinking?
**[05:33] Ichika**
That's not why I saved you.
**[05:39] Ichika**
I'm sorry!
**[05:41] Ichika**
I just blurt out what I'm thinking...
I mean... Really, I don't need anything!

**[05:46] Ichika**
Uh, what the heck was that sound?
**[05:52] Ryo**
Magnificent...
**[05:55] Ryo**
Not only did you save me, but you had
the benevolence to give me your lunch.
**[06:00] Ryo**
To top it off, your clear,
cold response to my shallow idea...
**[06:05] Ryo**
I'm moved.
**[06:07] Ryo**
I'm absolutely moved!
I've never felt like this before!
**[06:11] Ryo**
Ichika-san! You're the girl
I'm destined to be with!
**[06:16] Rio**
Sorry about that, Ichika.
I'm done with my call now.
**[06:19] Rio**
Huh? Where'd my brother go?
**[06:21] Ichika**
Uh, he's down here!
**[06:23] Ichika**
Help me! What's going on?!

**[08:03] Yuriko**
Ichika! A package came for you.
**[08:07] Ichika**
Oh, did the manga I ordered get here?
**[08:12] Yuriko**
You got a rose from someone
named Amakusa Ryo-san.
**[08:18] Rio**
My brother seriously sent you a rose?
**[08:20] Rio**
That's hilarious.
**[08:22] Ichika**
It's not hilarious at all!
Why did you give him my address, Rio?
**[08:25] Ichika**
Then my mom asked me about it...
It was such a mess.
**[08:28] Rio**
Well, my brother seemed super serious
about this, so it just happened.
**[08:32] Ichika**
"Just happened"? As if!
**[08:33] Ichika**
Yesterday, he had you give
me expensive chocolates.

***SIGN*** A-

**[08:42] Ichika**
Is Ryo-san like this to everyone he asks out?
**[08:46] Rio**
Not at all. He's pretty indifferent.
**[08:49] Rio**
According to him, he's never
even asked anyone out.
**[08:51] Ichika**
Seriously?
**[08:52] Rio**
Yup.
**[08:53] Rio**
Who cares? Why not go out with him?
**[08:55] Ichika**
Yikes! You're okay with your friend
going out with your brother?
**[09:00] Rio**
If it's you, sure.
**[09:01] Ichika**
Say what?!
**[09:02] Rio**
My brother's hot, smart,
and he's fairly loaded.
**[09:06] Rio**
Not bad, right? He's a scumball, though.
**[09:08] Ichika**
I'm sorry, did you just say "scumball"?
**[09:11] Rio**
Besides, if you two went out, it'd be amus—
**[09:16] Rio**
It'd make me happy.
**[09:17] Ichika**
You were totally going to say "amusing."
**[09:21] Rio**
By the way, did you call
my brother to complain?
**[09:24] Ichika**
What? No...
**[09:26] Rio**
Well, if you don't, he'll probably
keep sending you stuff.
**[09:29] Ichika**
Huh?
**[09:32] Rio**
Here you go.

Onii-chan

Right...
***SIGN*** Uh...

E-Excuse me, Acting Section Chief Amakusa.
**[09:49] Ryo**
What is it, Suzuki-san?
**[09:51] Suzuki**
Um... I just wanted to thank you
for backing me up at the meeting.
**[09:56] Ryo**
Ah... That was nothing.
I just added on to what you said.
**[10:00] Ryo**
Just make sure you adjust the cost.
**[10:03] Ryo**
See you later.
**[10:07] Suzuki**
He's so hot...
**[10:09] Nakayama**
He really is.
**[10:10] Suzuki**
Look at that body.
**[10:12] Nakayama**
He's amazing.
**[10:18] Ryo**
I don't know this number.
**[10:22] Ryo**
Hello?
**[10:23] Ichika**
Um...
**[10:24] Ichika**
*Hello?*
**[10:27] Ryo**
*I-Is that you, Ichika-san?!*
**[10:29] Ichika**
How could you tell just from my voice?
**[10:31] Ryo**
I'm never going to forget
your beautiful voice.
**[10:37] Ryo**
It's ingrained into my brain.
**[10:39] Ichika**
*Could you not say stuff like that?*
**[10:41] Ichika**
*Listen, about that flower you sent...*
**[10:45] Ryo**
Oh, did it get to you?
**[10:47] Ryo**
*Do you not like roses?*
**[10:49] Ichika**
Huh? No, I don't dislike them...
**[10:53] Ryo**
*Oh, thank goodness.*
**[10:55] Ryo**
* I sent you a rose first so it would*
* convey my feelings clearly.*
**[10:59] Ichika**
Huh? Uh... Er, that's not what this is about.
**[11:03] Ryo**
* I get it. You must not like red.*
* I knew I should've gone with pink.*
**[11:09] Ichika**
Seriously, this isn't about
roses or their color.
**[11:13] Ryo**
Did you think it was from Tuxedo Mask?
**[11:16] Ichika**
*Of course not.*
**[11:17] Ichika**
I'm saying—
**[11:18] Ryo**
*Was it a bother?*
**[11:19] Ichika**
Huh?
**[11:21] Ryo**
Am I bothering you?
**[11:25] Ichika**
Um... I'm not sure how I'm supposed
to respond to you giving me a flower.
**[11:31] Ichika**
To be honest... i-it *is* a bother.
**[11:35] Ryo**
*I see.*
**[11:36] Ichika**
I'm sorry.
**[11:39] Ryo**
But I'm not going to stop.
**[11:42] Ichika**
Wait, what?
**[11:43] Ryo**
*I just can't control my feelings for you.*
**[11:47] Ryo**
I'm hoping things will
continue to take shape.
**[11:50] Ichika**
*What?*
**[11:51] Ryo**
I'm planning to do things
that will make you happy,
**[11:55] Ryo**
and even annoy you,
all to show you my love.
**[11:58] Ryo**
*I hope you look forward to it.*
**[12:00] Ichika**
S-So you're saying that you don't
care if it's bothering me or not.
**[12:05] Ichika**
You're going to pursue me regardless?
**[12:07] Ryo**
*Correct.*
**[12:08] Ryo**
* So it's perfectly fine for you to get*
* mad and curse at me all you'd like.*
**[12:12] Ryo**
*I won't find it unpleasant at all.*
**[12:15] (Flashback) Rio**
Not bad, right? He's a scumball, though.

How are you this awful?

Okay, fine. You can carry them.

Ugh, come on, then.
**[16:10] Ryo**
By the way,
**[16:11] Ryo**
people were commenting on
us being a young couple.
**[16:14] Ichika**
I'm pretty sure they said,
"What a young pervert."

But it was plural,
so I guess that would include you.

Please don't compare me to you.

This Amakusa-san person is so poetic,
sending you a single flower every day.
**[17:01] Ichika**
Huh? Why do you say that?
**[17:03] Yuriko**
What? You didn't realize it?
**[17:05] Yuriko**
It's because your name means
"one flower," obviously.
**[17:09] Ichika**
Ugh... I didn't want to hear that.
I didn't want to realize that...

You seriously just sat down

Very admirable, Ichika-san.

Maybe I'll just pour that coffee on you.

**[18:50] Ryo**
Do you like smart men?
**[18:53] Ichika**
Maybe you're not that bright after all.
**[18:56] Ichika**
Are you good at science and math?
**[18:58] Ichika**
I'm definitely not.
**[19:01] Ryo**
Let's see... I did well in all subjects.
**[19:05] Ryo**
I'm a great athlete, too.
**[19:06] Ichika**
Yeah, I'm not interested.
**[19:09] Ryo**
Well, if I had to pick,
I'd say I'm not so good at art.
**[19:13] Ryo**
Though now that I know you like art,
I've been doing my best to improve.
**[19:18] Ichika**
No point in wasting time for both of us.
**[19:21] Ichika**
If you're that bad, try drawing something.
**[19:25] Ichika**
Like, a portrait of me.
**[19:29] Ryo**
I cannot draw something so sublime with
my lack of technique and capacity!
**[19:33] Ryo**
I will surely be punished!
**[19:35] Ryo**
How impudent of me!
**[19:36] Ichika**
Am I suddenly a deity or something?
**[19:39] Ryo**
Well, Ichika-san, you're—
**[19:40] Woman 2**
Is that you, Ryo?
**[19:41] Ryo**
Huh?
**[19:42] Ryo**
Uh...
**[19:43] Woman 2**
Wow, it's been forever.
**[19:45] Ryo**
*Who is she again?*
**[19:46] Woman 2**
You hadn't contacted me in a while,
so I was wondering what was going on.
**[19:51] Ryo**
Oh, I see...
***SIGN*** So bright...
**[19:53] Ryo**
*Michiko? Maybe Sachiko?*
**[19:55] Woman 2**
Jeez, at least be a little excited.
**[19:58] Woman 2**
Whoa, Ryo!
**[19:59] Woman 2**
Don't tell me you got your filthy mitts
on bland little high school girl like her.
**[20:03] Ryo**
What?
**[20:03] Ichika**
No, I'm not...
**[20:06] Woman 2**
Come on, you can't just go for
*any* girl. This poor thing.
**[20:10] Ichika**
Er, I...
**[20:10] Woman 2**
You should stay away from Ryo.
He's honestly the worst.
**[20:14] Woman 2**
He's a total womanizer.
**[20:17] Woman 2**
Though that's what I like about him.
**[20:19] Ryo**
Hey, no one asked you.
**[20:21] Woman 2**
Oh, please. I'm sure you pulled
the nice-guy act on her.
**[20:25] Woman 2**
I'm saying this for her sake.
**[20:28] Ryo**
That's en—
**[20:28] Ichika**
Excuse me!
**[20:30] Ichika**
I have no doubt that he's a womanizer...
**[20:35] Ryo**
*D'oh!*
**[20:36] Ichika**
But I don't think he's
entirely bad toward me.
**[20:42] Ichika**
Probably...
**[20:46] Ichika**
Also, I'm just friends
with his little sister.
**[20:50] Ichika**
So please excuse me.
**[20:56] Woman 2**
Whoopsie. Maybe I teased her too much.
**[21:01] Ryo**
Hey.
**[21:02] Woman 2**
Yeah?
***SIGN*** Scrub Scrub Scrub Scrub

No way! My makeup! My fake lashes!
**[21:10] Ryo**
How dare you interrupt
my time with Ichika-san?
**[21:13] Ryo**
Don't make me pluck out
all of your real eyelashes.
**[21:21] Ichika**
I need to contact Rio.
**[21:23] Ryo**
Ichika-san!
**[21:26] Ichika**
Wh-What? Isn't she your
girlfriend or something?
**[21:31] Ryo**
No! She's nothing like that!
**[21:34] Ryo**
I'm sorry. That must've made you
feel awful, all because of me.
**[21:38] Ichika**
It's fine.
**[21:39] Ryo**
Ichika-san...
**[21:41] Ryo**
What you said earlier made me happy.
**[21:47] Ichika**
I just said what was on my mind...
**[21:53] Sfx**
*Squee!*
**[21:55] Ichika**
Did you just internally squee because
you thought I was suddenly being nice?!
**[21:57] Ryo**
That's amazing. How did you know?
You're so impressive, Ichika-san!
**[22:00] Ichika**
It's totally obvious!
***SIGN*** What are

doing...?
**[22:02] Ichika**
Never mind! Just go home

**[22:05] Ryo**
Thank you for the compliment!
**[22:07] Ichika**
That wasn't a compliment!
Get back in your cage!
**[22:10] Ryo**
I'm an expert at shaking paws.
Why don't we give it a try?
**[22:13] Ichika**
You're just trying to
hold my hand, aren't you?
**[22:16] Ryo**
Oh, was I that obvious?
**[22:18] Ichika**

**[02:12] Ryo**
I'm... home?
**[02:15] Ichika**
Ryo-san?
**[02:17] Ryo**
Wh-Why...
**[02:19] Ryo**
is Ichika-san in my home, wearing an apron...
**[02:23] Ryo**
and welcoming me back?
**[02:25] Ichika**
Well, actually...
**[02:27] Ryo**
I never thought I'd start
daydreaming from exhaustion...
**[02:29] Ichika**
Uh, hello?
**[02:31] Ryo**
Wait, did I turn in our marriage
registration without realizing it?!
**[02:34] Ichika**
Of course not!
**[02:36] Rio**
Hey, welcome back, Onii-chan.
**[02:39] Satsuki**
Oh, good evening.
**[02:41] Ruri**
Hello.
**[02:42] Rio**
This is Satsuki and Ruri from my class.
**[02:45] Ryo**
Good evening.
**[02:47] Ruri**
We're borrowing your kitchen.
I hope you don't mind.
**[02:50] Rio**
We couldn't get our culture
festival prep done at school,
**[02:52] Rio**
so they all came over.
**[02:54] Ryo**
I see. What are you guys doing?
**[02:57] Ruri**
A Japanese-style café.
**[02:58] Ruri**
We were making the cookies that
we want to serve at the event.
**[03:02] Ryo**
Looks like you're all working hard.
**[03:04] Ryo**
Great job.
**[03:08] Ruri and Satsuki**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[03:10] Ichika**
* Who the heck is this smooth criminal?*
* Is this one of his womanizer skills?!*
**[03:14] Rio**
Hey, why don't we hang out in my
room until the cookies are cool?
**[03:18] Rio**
We can sample the chiffon
cake we made earlier.
**[03:20] Ichika**
Oh, sure.
**[03:22] Satsuki**
Right on!
**[03:23] Ryo**
I'll head up to my room.
**[03:25] Rio**
Yeah, sure.
**[03:27] Ryo**
Enjoy your stay.
**[03:32] Ryo**
* Newlywed housewife Ichika-san*
* wearing an apron is awesome!*
**[03:36] Satsuki**
Oh my God! Your brother's super hot, Rio!
**[03:39] Ruri**
You can totally tell how mature he is!
**[03:41] Satsuki**
The boys at school don't stand a chance!
**[03:44] Ruri**
He's tall and looks amazing
in a suit, and to top it off,
**[03:46] Satsuki**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:47] Ruri**
that suit looks expensive,
but he doesn't seem snobbish at all!
**[03:50] Satsuki**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:50] Ruri**
Actually, it's like he's doing the suit
a favor by wearing it! He's so refined!
**[03:53] ---**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:54] Ichika**
Hey, I thought Ryo-san wasn't
supposed to be here today.
**[03:58] Rio**
Well, I could've sworn he said he'd be home late.
**[04:02] Rio**
My bad.
**[04:05] Ichika**
Those two have totally fallen
under Ryo-san's spell...
**[04:08] Satsuki**
Hey, don't you think Rio's brother's
a total hottie, too?
**[04:11] Ichika**
Huh? I, uh...
**[04:14] Satsuki**
I can totally see him being in some men's
fashion magazine wearing something fancy!
**[04:19] Ruri**
Right?
**[04:20] Ruri**
Personally, I think he'd look amazing
in a white tuxedo or a garçon outfit!
**[04:24] Satsuki**
He'd look great cosplaying a doctor, too.
**[04:26] Ruri**
Nice! Excellent! I have to put a vote in
for traditional Japanese clothes, too.
**[04:29] Satsuki**
Perfection.
**[04:31] Satsuki**
What do you think he'd look good in, Ichika?
**[04:34] Ichika**
Huh?
**[04:35] Ichika**
This again? Um...
**[04:38] Ichika**
I guess if I absolutely had
to choose, I'd say a suit...
**[04:44] Satsuki**
Rio, how much older is your brother?
**[04:46] Rio**
Uh... Ten years, I think?
**[04:49] Satsuki**
Wow, that's quite an age gap.
You guys seem close, though.
**[04:53] Satsuki**
I have siblings, too,
but we're always fighting.
**[04:56] Rio**
Hmm...
**[04:57] Rio**
I didn't actually like him that much before.
**[05:00] Ichika**
Huh?
**[05:02] Ichika**
That was in the past, though.
**[05:05] Ichika**
I didn't really talk to him much when
I was in grade school or middle school.
**[05:08] Ichika**
There was a period when he was
somewhat of a troublemaker, too.
**[05:13] (Flashback) Dad**
Who the hell was that woman?
**[05:15] (Flashback) Ryo**
It's not like I want her around, either.
**[05:17] (Flashback) Dad**
This is all because you're so irresponsible!
**[05:19] (Flashback) Ryo**
Oh, please!
**[05:21] (Flashback) Dad**
Stop bringing trouble home!
**[05:30] (Flashback) Ryo**
It was probably pretty noisy earlier, huh?
**[05:33] (Flashback) Rio**
What was?
**[05:33] (Flashback) Ryo**
Downstairs. Dad and I.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Rio**
I had my earphones in with music on,
so I didn't hear anything.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Ryo**
Good to know.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Rio**
If you're worried about that...
**[05:49] (Flashback) Rio**
then just don't argue.
**[05:55] (Flashback) Rio**
So annoying...
**[05:58] Rio**
After he left home, we hardly saw each other.
**[06:02] Rio**
But lately, he's been coming home more often,
**[06:05] Rio**
and now, we have a lot more to talk about.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Rio**
Yeah?
**[06:13] (Flashback) Ryo**
Rio!
**[06:14] (Flashback) Rio**
Huh?!
**[06:15] (Flashback) Ryo**
Tell me all about Ichika-san!
When's her birthday? What're her hobbies?!
**[06:18] (Flashback) Ryo**
Oh, no! Does she have a boyfriend?!
**[06:27] (Flashback) Ryo**
What's so funny?
**[06:28] (Flashback) Rio**
Nothing, you just sounded
so desperate... Sorry.
**[06:32] Rio**
I'm not sure if that's why,
but he seems like a better guy.
**[06:36] Rio**
We get along pretty well now.
**[06:38] Satsuki**
Aw, really? I'm so jealous.
**[06:42] Rio**
Yeah?
**[06:46] Rio**
What's up?
**[06:47] Ryo**
Here, enjoy these with the sweets you made.
**[06:50] Rio**
Oh, thanks.
**[06:51] Satsuki**
Oh, you didn't have to.
**[06:53] Ruri**
Thank you so much.
**[06:56] Ichika**
*I had no idea Rio felt that way.*
**[06:59] Ryo**
Oh, just make sure Ichika-san gets this one.
**[07:01] Rio**
Hm? Oh, yeah. Sure.
**[07:05] Rio**
Here you go.
**[07:07] Ruri**
Thanks.
**[07:08] Ruri**
Oh?
**[07:10] Ruri**
Look, it's latte art.
**[07:12] Satsuki**
Wow, it's so cute!
**[07:14] Ruri**
Mine's a cat.
**[07:16] Satsuki**
Mine's a bunny.
**[07:17] Rio**
This one's yours, Ichika.
**[07:19] Ichika**
Thanks.
***SIGN*** Ichika-san
**[07:25] Satsuki**
What did you get, Ichika?
**[07:27] Satsuki**
Wait, you stirred yours up already?!
**[07:29] Ichika**
Oh, whoops. I wasn't thinking.
It was, uh... an armadillo! Yeah!
**[07:33] Ruri**
An armadillo?
**[07:34] Satsuki**
Wow, I wish I could've seen it!
**[07:37] Girls**
Thanks for having us over.
**[07:44] Ryo**
I should really walk Ichika-san home—
**[07:49] Ryo**
Thanks, Rio.
**[07:51] Rio**
Huh?
**[07:51] Ryo**
You didn't tell Ichika-san
I'd be coming home.
**[07:56] Rio**
Oh, yeah.
**[07:58] Ryo**
And because of that, I got
to see her in an apron.
**[08:01] Rio**
You're welcome.
**[08:04] Rio**
But...
**[08:06] Rio**
If you do anything to make Ichika sad,
I won't support you anymore,
**[08:12] Rio**
even if you are my brother.
**[08:18] Ryo**
I'll keep that in mind.
**[08:27] Bartender**
Welcome.
**[08:29] Masuda**
You already started drinking? Rude.
**[08:32] Ryo**
Please. You're the one who was late, Masuda.
**[08:36] Masuda**
Yeah, yeah, sorry about that.
**[08:39] Masuda**
Oh, could I get what he's having?
**[08:42] Masuda**
So how's work going, Acting Section Chief?
**[08:45] Ryo**
Fine, I guess. Nothing's changed.
**[08:46] Masuda**
Introduce me to a cute girl from your work.
**[08:49] Ryo**
And what's going on with you,
freelance photographer?
**[08:52] Masuda**
Huh? Me?
**[08:55] Masuda**
You'd be surprised how popular
you get when you say
**[08:57] Masuda**
that you've shot photos in Paris, my guy.
**[08:59] Ryo**
Huh...
**[09:00] Masuda**
Though that trip was actually for a
photobook called *Belly Wraps Around Europe*.
**[09:06] Ryo**
Oh, I quit.
**[09:07] Masuda**
Huh? When?
**[09:09] Ryo**
Just recently.
**[09:10] Masuda**
Why? Health reasons?
**[09:12] Ryo**
Not exactly.
**[09:13] Ryo**
I basically quit for someone
else, not for myself.
**[09:18] Masuda**
So, hey... I've been hearing some rumors.
**[09:22] Masuda**
Is it true you're messing
with a high school girl?
**[09:27] Ryo**
Where the hell did you hear that?
**[09:29] Masuda**
Wait, it's true? Way to go, Ryo-san!
**[09:32] Ryo**
Well, I'm not actually messing with her.
**[09:34] Ryo**
It's still, uh...
**[09:35] Ryo**
a crush on my part.
**[09:39] Ryo**
What kind of reaction is that?
**[09:40] Masuda**
You... have a crush...
**[09:44] Masuda**
on a high school girl?
**[09:46] Ryo**
Yeah, so?
**[09:47] Masuda**
The womanizer with nothing but his looks
going for him, who's never asked a girl out?
**[09:51] Ryo**
Shut up.
**[09:52] Masuda**
Did you hear that, boss?!
**[09:53] Masuda**
He has a c-c-crush on someone!
We have to celebrate!
**[09:56] Masuda**
Red bean rice! We need red bean rice!
**[09:58] Bartender**
Sure, coming right up.
**[09:59] Masuda**
Wait, you *have* some?!
**[10:01] Ryo**
What is your deal?
**[10:03] Masuda**
So, where's her pic? I'm sure you have one.
**[10:06] Ryo**
I'd rather die than show you.
You'll sully her.
**[10:09] Masuda**
Miser. Then how'd this happen?
How did you two meet?
**[10:15] Ryo**
I almost died, and she saved me.
**[10:18] Masuda**
Squee! OMG, that's like some TV drama!
**[10:20] Masuda**
Wait, she saved you, though?
**[10:22] Ryo**
Not only that. She gave me, a total stranger,
her lunch because I was feeling woozy.
**[10:27] Masuda**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Deary me, aren't you handsome?
Would you like my lunch?
**[10:28] Masuda**
Sounds like the old lady on the train
who gives you a piece of candy.
**[10:31] Ryo**
Don't you dare compare her to that!
**[10:33] Ryo**
So then we coincidentally
bumped into each other again,
**[10:35] Ryo**
and I told her that I wanted
to repay her for saving me.
**[10:38] Masuda**
Oh, I get it. You offered your body to her.
**[10:43] Masuda**
Wait, you actually did?
That's beyond yikes, my dude.
**[10:47] Ryo**
And then she said,
**[10:49] Ryo**
"You're creepy. What are you thinking?"
**[10:53] Masuda**
Well, damn. I guess she doesn't hold back.
**[10:56] Ryo**
Yeah...
**[10:57] Ryo**
Then, I dunno... Yeah.
**[11:00] Ryo**
I realized I liked her, I guess.
**[11:04] Masuda**
Ryo...
**[11:05] Masuda**
Have you always been a masochist?
**[11:08] Ryo**
Who knows?
**[11:09] Masuda**
But I mean, she saved your
life and gave you her lunch?
**[11:15] Ryo**
Right.
**[11:16] Masuda**
And everything you've done
to girls up to this point
**[11:19] Masuda**
isn't working with this girl.
**[11:21] Masuda**
Which just made you feel like,
"Oh, this girl's sorta amazing. I like her."
**[11:27] Ryo**
Could be...
**[11:29] Ryo**
I mean, it's possible that I just
now realized I'm into that...
**[11:33] Ryo**
I've never felt like this before.
**[11:36] Ryo**
I honestly... don't get it myself.
**[11:39] Masuda**
Squee...
**[11:41] Ryo**
Okay, why do you keep doing that?
**[11:43] Masuda**
Wh-Wh-What even is going on?!
I'm starting to feel embarrassed for you!
**[11:47] Masuda**
This is so bittersweet!
It's like a cassis orange!
**[11:50] Masuda**
Boss, give me a cassis orange!
**[11:52] Bartender**
Sure, coming right up.
**[11:54] Masuda**
Man...
**[11:55] Masuda**
I've known you since middle school,
but I've never seen this side of you.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Girl A**
Hey, Ryo. Let's go to karaoke today.
**[12:04] (Flashback) Girl a**
Come on, come on!
**[12:05] (Flashback) Masuda**
You know, you could at
least answer the poor girl.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Woman A**
Hey, Ryo. Want to come over today?
**[12:10] (Flashback) Woman B**
No, come over to my place. Come on, please?
**[12:14] (Flashback) Masuda**
You seriously don't change.
**[12:19] Masuda**
Oh, I'm *so* going to cheer
you on! It's on me tonight!
**[12:23] Ryo**
Why are you talking like that?
**[12:25] Masuda**
So, how are you trying
to get her to like you?
**[12:28] Ryo**
Nothing special.
**[12:30] Ryo**
Well, let's see...
**[12:32] Ryo**
I've been sending her flowers every day,
**[12:35] Ryo**
sending her gifts from my
business trip locations...
**[12:37] Ryo**
Oh, and I've sent her gift
baskets of stuff she likes,
**[12:41] Ryo**
and I sent her the result from when I got
her fortune read with my last name...
**[12:44] Masuda**
Um... What?
**[12:47] Ryo**
And then...
**[12:48] Ryo**
Her disgusted reactions to all
that are the cutest thing ever.
**[12:51] Masuda**
A-Ah...
**[12:53] Masuda**
* Looks like this crush also awakened*
* something super weird within him.*
**[12:57] Masuda**
Hey, I know! Let's give this girl a call!
**[13:00] Ryo**
Huh?
**[13:00] Masuda**
I wanna hear what she sounds like!
Let me see your phone!
**[13:02] Ryo**
Hey, give that back.
**[13:04] Masuda**
Come on, I'll say nice things
about you. I'm your bud, after all!
**[13:09] Ryo**
She's in my contacts as "Ichika-san."

Excuse me.
**[14:20] Guy A**
Could we get two bowls of ramen?
**[14:22] Girl A**
I'm terribly sorry,
**[14:23] Girl A**
but we're a Japanese-style café,
so we don't have ramen.
**[14:26] Guy A**
What? But ramen is Japanese.
**[14:28] Guy B**
Could we get a smile, then?
**[14:31] Girl A**
Could you kindly pick
something from the menu?
**[14:33] Guy B**
What? You're not gonna do it?
**[14:35] Guy a**
Then could you tell me your bra size?
**[14:38] Girl A**
Uh... could you just order?
**[14:41] Guy B**
You dumbass.
**[14:43] Masuda**
You know, if you're looking for ramen,
they had some in 3-2.
**[14:48] Masuda**
Want me to show you the way?
**[14:51] Guy B**
Huh?
**[14:51] Ryo**
Also, if you guys haven't
figured out what you want yet,
**[14:55] Ryo**
mind if we order first?
**[14:58] Ryo**
No?

**[15:06] Ryo**
This takes me back.
**[15:08] Masuda**
So where's your crush? I came
here today just to see her.
**[15:13] Ryo**
She's probably...
**[15:14] Ichika**
Rio.
**[15:15] Ichika**
Do you have enough sugar?
**[15:21] Ryo**
Oh, I'm sorry. May I take your photo?
**[15:24] Ichika**
You seem to have the
order backwards on that.
**[15:29] Ichika**
So you really did show up.
**[15:31] Ryo**
Yep. I was going to come here
no matter what it took.
**[15:34] Ichika**
Somehow, I don't think you're joking.
**[15:36] Ichika**
Oh, hello.
**[15:38] Masuda**
Hello. I'm Ryo's buddy, Masuda.
**[15:42] Masuda**
I'm a freelance photographer and single.
**[15:44] Ichika**
Um... I'm Ryo-san's little
sister's friend, Arima Ichika.
**[15:49] Masuda**
So this is *the* Ichika-chan? Ah, I see.
**[15:52] Ichika**
"The"?
**[15:53] Ryo**
Hey, you're scaring Ichika-san.
Stop staring at her.
**[15:57] Ichika**
Ryo-san, what did you tell your friend?
**[16:00] Ryo**
Huh? Well, I...
**[16:02] Girl A**
Thank you for waiting!
**[16:03] Ryo**
I just told him how much I lov—
**[16:05] Ichika**
Thank you for waiting!
Here's your chiffon cake!
**[16:08] Masuda**
Uh, Ichika-chan?
**[16:10] Ichika**
* That was close... Someone from*

**[16:14] Ryo**
*Ichika-san basically just fed me.*

**[16:31] Masuda**
Hey, it's Rio-chan. It's been a
while, huh? What, two years?
**[16:35] Rio**
Who are you again?
**[16:36] Masuda**
You don't even remember me...
**[16:39] Masuda**
I'm Ryo's friend from middle and high school.
**[16:41] Rio**
I think you had a fish in your name...
**[16:44] Masuda**
Do you remember me now?
**[16:46] Rio**

No, we're planning to look around after this.
**[16:57] (Flashback) Rio**
And now, we have a lot more to talk about.
**[17:01] Rio**
Ichika, don't you have
a break coming up soon?
**[17:04] Ichika**

But...
**[17:17] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[17:19] Ryo**
I'm honored to have you guide me.
**[17:30] Ichika**
I hope this is clear, but stay at
least three meters away from me.
**[17:34] Ryo**
Sure.
**[17:34] Ichika**
If you can't stick to that,
I will make you go home.
**[17:37] Ryo**
Oh, you're so cold.
Though that's also adorable...
**[17:41] Ichika**
No saying stuff like that, either!

Oh, I forgot to tell you.
**[17:56] Ryo**
You in that kimono is even more— Oh, no!
**[17:59] Ryo**
I was about to compliment you again.
**[18:01] Ichika**
You're totally messing with me, aren't you?
**[18:04] Masuda**
Say, Rio-chan.
**[18:05] Rio**
Yeah?
**[18:06] Masuda**
What's Ichika-chan like?
**[18:08] Rio**
She's totally normal.
***SIGN*** Food Fighter Challenge
**[18:10] Masuda**
And Ryo's got a crush on her, right?
**[18:13] Rio**
Yeah.
**[18:14] Masuda**
I never would've believed she was
really in the same grade as you.
**[18:18] Rio**
Ichika's a completely normal girl...
**[18:21] Rio**
But I guess she's special to my brother.
**[18:26] Masuda**
Yeah.
**[18:27] Rio**
And you've only got ten minutes left.

**[20:01] Ryo**
I haven't laughed this much in so long.
**[20:05] Ichika**
Let's go eat something already,
since we have these vouchers.
**[20:09] Ryo**
Sure. I guess I am getting hungry.
**[20:14] Ichika**
And my break is—
**[20:18] Ryo**
Look out!
**[20:24] Ryo**
A-Are you okay?
**[20:26] Ryo**

I-I'm okay...

**[20:46] Ichika**
Did you think I wouldn't notice?!
**[20:48] Ryo**
My body just reacted on its own.
**[20:50] Ichika**
How were you going to explain this
to my friends if they saw you?!
**[20:54] Ichika**
Why are you smirking?
**[20:57] Ryo**
Oh, I'm sorry. This might be imprudent of me,
**[21:00] Ryo**
but I was so happy.

I'll go get us something to eat.
**[21:24] Ichika**
Huh? No, I'll go with you.
**[21:27] Ryo**
You're not used to walking in a kimono.
We don't want you tripping again.
**[21:31] Ryo**
Okay?
**[21:32] Ichika**
But...
**[21:33] Ryo**
Now, now... Is there anything in
particular that you want to eat?
**[21:36] Ichika**
Y-Yakisoba.
**[21:38] Ryo**
All right.
**[21:41] Ryo**
Just wait for me in this empty classroom.
**[21:44] Ryo**

**[00:02] Yamagishi**
Who do you think is the

**[00:05] Kawaguchi**
Uh...
**[00:07] Yamagishi**
How about Amakusa?
**[00:08] Kawaguchi**
Ah, well, you always did
like the pretty girls.
**[00:11] Yamagishi**
Huh? It's not like that. What?
**[00:13] Kawaguchi**
What about you, Kai?
**[00:14] Kai**
Huh? What?
**[00:16] Kawaguchi**
Jeez, do you ever listen?
**[00:18] Yamagishi**
By the way, Amakusa's big bro
came to the cultural festival.
**[00:22] Kawaguchi**
Oh, he did?
**[00:24] Yamagishi**
He looked just like Amakusa.
He was super hot.
**[00:28] Kawaguchi**
That's just a roundabout way
of saying that Amakusa is hot.
**[00:31] Yamagishi**
Huh? It's not like that. What?

Hey, is Amakusa's brother tall,
with his hair parted mostly to one side?

I love that series, too.
**[03:08] Ichika**
The anime's airing now, you know?
**[03:11] Ichika**
I started with the anime, but lately,
I've been collecting the original series.
**[03:14] Ichika**
And I've been enjoying that a lot, too!
**[03:18] Kai**
I have the full set of the original series.
**[03:21] Ichika**
What? That's amazing!
There are so many volumes.
**[03:24] Ichika**
I still only have up to volume 3.
**[03:26] Kai**
Wanna borrow mine?
**[03:27] Ichika**
Really?!

*Wow, she's really interested.*
**[03:31] Kai**
Okay, I'll bring them tomorrow.
**[03:32] Ichika**
Thank you!
**[03:34] Kai**
Want to read the Gaiden series, too?

Okay, I'll look for them.

Thank you so much!

*Yes? Hello?*
**[03:57] Ichika**
Hello?
**[04:00] Ryo**
*Oh, sorry.*
**[04:01] Ryo**
You usually don't answer until
it rings at least ten times,
**[04:04] Ryo**
so I was a bit surprised.
**[04:06] Ichika**
*Am I not allowed to answer immediately?*
**[04:08] Ryo**
Of course you can! It makes me very happy.
**[04:10] Ryo**
* I think I'll be extra*

**[04:12] Ichika**
Please just be productive
at work on the regular.
**[04:17] Ryo**
Ichika-san, are you outside right now?
**[04:19] Ichika**
*Huh? Yes, I am.*
**[04:20] Ryo**
*Are you walking home by yourself?*
**[04:23] Ichika**
Uh... yes.
**[04:25] Ryo**
* You shouldn't be walking around*
* alone this late at night.*
**[04:27] Ichika**
I'm a bit more concerned that you
call me at this hour every night.
**[04:32] Ryo**
*Where are you right now?*
**[04:34] Ichika**
Huh?
**[04:35] Ryo**
*Where are you?*
**[04:36] Ichika**
Why do you ask?
**[04:39] Ryo**
*Just curious.*
**[04:40] Ichika**
I'm in front of the convenience
store in Sakuramachi.
**[04:44] Ryo**
*Sakuramachi...*
**[04:45] Ryo**
Excellent. You're nearby.
**[04:47] Ryo**
Please stay right there.
I'll be there in about five minutes.
**[04:50] Ichika**
Huh?!

* If you move away from there, I'll be*
* visiting your house tomorrow morning*
**[04:55] Ryo**
* wearing a white tuxedo,*
* with a bouquet of roses in hand.*
**[04:59] Ichika**
Wait, what? Hello?
**[05:05] Ryo**
* It's probably quicker*
* to run than grab a taxi.*
**[05:14] Ryo**
* I never thought I'd end up*
* running like this for anyone.*
**[05:29] Ichika**
* He's not answering my calls.*
* I guess I'll just have to wait. Ugh.*
**[05:34] Ryo**
Ichika-san!
**[05:38] Ryo**
Thank goodness. You waited for me.
**[05:41] Ichika**
Y-You actually showed up.
And... wait, you ran here?
**[05:45] Ryo**
Yes. I ran as fast as I could.
**[05:48] Ryo**
You answered my call immediately because
you were scared to walk alone at night, right?
**[05:52] Ichika**
N-No! I just felt like answering early.
**[05:56] Ryo**
Of course.
**[05:59] Ichika**
And you showed up in three minutes...
***SIGN*** Beam ing
**[06:01] Ryo**

*Why do I feel at ease now?*

**[06:28] Ryo**
So, Ichika-chan, who might this be?
**[06:31] Ichika**
Oh, this is my classmate, Tamaru Kai-kun.

Ah, so he's a classmate.

You know who I am?
**[06:45] Kai**
I saw you at the cultural festival,
**[06:47] Kai**
and my friend told me that
you were Amakusa's brother.
**[06:51] Ryo**
Ah, I see.
**[06:54] Ryo**
Tamaru-kun, I hope you continue to get
along with my sister as classmates.
**[06:59] Kai**
Uh, sure.
**[07:01] Kai**
Oh, by the way, Arima. I'll bring you
the Gaiden from that series tomorrow.
**[07:05] Ichika**
Really? Thanks!
**[07:07] Ichika**
I've been wanting to read it,
**[07:09] Ichika**
considering where the series ended before it.
**[07:13] Kai**
Well, I'm going in the store now.
**[07:15] Ichika**
Okay. I'll see you at school tomorrow.
**[07:21] Ryo**
Tamaru-kun.
**[07:23] Kai**
Yes?
**[07:26] Ryo**
I hope you continue to get along
with Ichika-san *as classmates*.
**[07:34] Ryo**
Okay, let's go, Ichika-san.
**[07:36] Ichika**
Huh? Okay.
**[07:38] Ryo**
Let's take the long way back.
**[07:40] Ichika**
What? No.
**[07:47] Kai**
I just broke out in a cold sweat...
**[07:51] Ichika**
Oh, yeah.
**[07:53] Ichika**
Here, you can have this.
**[07:55] Ichika**
I think I remember you drinking black
coffee when we were at that café.
**[07:59] Ryo**
Th-Thank you so much!
**[08:01] Ryo**
I will worship this every day!
Oh, no! Where should I place it, though?
**[08:04] Ichika**
Please, just drink it right now.

By the way, you were drinking
a medium iced tea then.
**[08:17] Ichika**
Why would you remember the size?
**[08:20] Ryo**
I even remember all of the problems
you were trying to solve back then.
**[08:24] Ryo**
I want to make sure I can help you with the
subjects you struggle with at any time.
**[08:28] Ichika**
Ugh...
**[08:29] Ichika**
Your memory is way too good.

Wh-Wh-Why, though?! Huh? What?!
**[09:22] Kai**
Well, at the cultural festival...
**[09:35] Ichika**
Did you think I wouldn't notice?!
**[09:36] Kai**
*Wait, was that Arima?!*
**[09:37] Ryo**
My body just reacted on its own.
**[09:39] Kai**
*That's Arima and...*
**[09:39] Ichika**
How were you going to explain this
to my friends if they saw you?!
**[09:42] Kai**
*Who is that guy?*
**[09:43] Ichika**
Why are you smirking?
**[09:44] Kai**
I saw you two
**[09:47] Kai**
hugging in the stairwell, so...
**[09:48] Ichika**
*He saw us!*
***SIGN*** This
is
the
worst
**[09:50] Ichika**
N-No! We absolutely are not dating!
**[09:53] Ichika**
It's just that Ryo-san...
**[09:54] Ichika**
Rio's older brother... caught me when
I was about to fall down the stairs.
**[09:59] Ichika**
We weren't actually hugging!
**[10:01] Ichika**
It was a total coincidence!
**[10:03] Ichika**
We absolutely are not going out!
**[10:05] Kai**
O-Okay, I got it.
**[10:07] Ichika**
Oh, sorry...
**[10:09] Kai**
I'm sorry I had the wrong idea.
**[10:12] Ichika**
No, I'm sorry for yelling.
**[10:15] Kai**
I never knew you could yell
like that. That was unexpected.
**[10:19] Ichika**
Really? I do get pretty loud
and say witty things fairly often.
**[10:25] Ichika**
* Like when it has to do with*
* Ryo-san or I'm watching anime...*
**[10:30] Kai**
So about Amakusa's brother...
**[10:33] Kai**
I'm not sure you should take him seriously.
**[10:35] Ichika**
Huh?
**[10:36] Kai**
He seemed to be messing with you.
**[10:52] Ichika**
That startled me.
**[10:54] Ichika**
Not to mention...
***SIGN*** Grrrrrr
**[10:57] Ichika**
*It's so embarrassing knowing someone saw us.*
**[11:00] Ichika**
*And it was a guy from my class!*
**[11:03] (Flashback) Kai**
He seemed to be messing with you.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Ichika**
Messing with me?
**[11:08] (Flashback) Kai**
Er, forget I said anything.
**[11:13] Ichika**
*Oh, right.*
**[11:16] Ichika**
*I guess that is actually a possibility.*
**[11:21] Ichika**
*Why didn't I think of that before?*

**[11:42] Rio**
Well—
**[11:43] Ryo**
Ichika-san!
**[11:43] Ryo**
You use this theorem and...
**[11:44] Ichika**
I didn't ask you, Ryo-san.
**[11:47] Rio**
I'm pretty sure my brother could
teach you in better detail.
**[11:51] Ichika**
Uh...
**[11:52] Ryo**
Please call me Ryo-sensei
to your heart's content!
**[11:56] Ichika**
What I would like to know
the most is why you're here
**[11:59] Ichika**
when we're supposed to
be studying for our test.
**[12:02] Ryo**
The answer is simply because
you're here, Ichika-san!

**[12:11] Rio**
I'll be back.
**[12:12] Ichika**
Okay.
**[12:14] Rio**
Hello?
**[12:18] Ichika**
*Wait...*
**[12:19] Both**
* We're alone together in*
* her bedroom right now!*
**[12:23] Ryo**
Ichika-san, were you thinking the same thi—
**[12:25] Ichika**
Absolutely not!
**[12:26] Ryo**
By the way, the boy we met at the
convenience store... Tamaru-kun, was it?
**[12:31] Ichika**
Yes?
**[12:32] Ryo**
He was rather handsome.
**[12:34] Ichika**
Oh... Yeah, there are quite
a few girls who say he's hot.

**[12:39] Ryo**
Oh, I see.
**[12:41] Ryo**
What do you think of him, Ichika-san?
**[12:44] Ichika**
Me? I don't think I've ever
looked at his face that closely,
**[12:49] Ichika**
but he's probably handsome.
***SIGN*** Smile...
**[12:52] Ryo**
I see...
**[12:54] Ryo**
Oh, for the record, how do you feel about me?
**[12:57] Ichika**
I think you're pretty well put-together.
Only on the outside, though.
**[13:02] Ryo**
Why, thank you very much.
**[13:04] Ichika**
*I guess he's used to hearing that.*
**[13:07] Ryo**
Though I believe that you're
the most beautiful and
**[13:10] Ryo**
precious person in this world, Ichika-san.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Kai**
He seemed to be messing with you.
**[13:19] Ichika**
Wh-Why do you always say things like that?
**[13:23] Ryo**
Well, it's because I love you, of cour—
**[13:26] Ichika**
You're just saying those things to get
**[13:28] Ichika**
a reaction out of me every time, aren't you?
**[13:31] Ichika**
I'm younger than you,
and I'm not used to any of this,
**[13:36] Ichika**
so you're just messing with
me for fun, aren't you?
**[13:48] Ryo**
Oh, I see...
**[13:50] Ryo**
I guess that's how I made you feel.
**[13:54] Ryo**
But... and even I realize that it's silly,
**[13:58] Ryo**
but my feelings for you are genuine.
**[14:03] Rio**
Sorry, I'm finally off the phone.
**[14:05] Rio**
She ended up asking me for relationship
advice, for some reason.
**[14:08] Ryo**
Rio.
**[14:10] Ryo**
I've got some work to do,
so I'm gonna head to the office.
**[14:13] Rio**
It's that urgent? Okay, I guess...
**[14:17] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[14:19] Ryo**
Good luck with your studies.
**[14:21] Ichika**
Uh... thanks.
**[14:26] Rio**
My brother seemed to be acting a
bit weird. Did something happen?
**[14:29] Ichika**
* Before, he'd always smile,*
* no matter what I said.*
**[14:32] Ichika**
*He's never looked like that before.*
**[14:38] Ichika**
Rio... I said something
really mean to Ryo-san.
**[14:46] Ichika**
*After that day,*
**[14:47] Ichika**
* Ryo-san continued to call me every day,*
* as if nothing had ever happened.*
**[14:52] Ichika**
Huh? Uh, okay.
**[14:54] Ichika**
Goodnight, then.
**[15:08] Ichika**
*Why can't I just apologize to him?*
**[15:29] Masuda**
*Hey, what's up?*
**[15:31] Ryo**
Masuda? You know how to use Photoshop, right?
**[15:33] Ryo**
I have a favor to ask.
**[15:37] Rio**
A cold?
**[15:38] Ichika**
Yeah.
**[15:39] Rio**
Got it. No worries. Just get some rest.
**[15:43] Rio**
Okay, feel better soon.
**[15:46] Rio**
Oh, are you heading out?
**[15:47] Rio**
Didn't you say you were off today?
**[15:50] Ryo**
I need to get some documents from work.
**[15:52] Ryo**
You're heading out, too, aren't you?
**[15:54] Rio**
Well, I was planning to, but...
***SIGN*** Ichika
***SIGN*** Ichika
***SIGN*** I'm so sorry!
***SIGN*** No worries.

**[15:59] Rio**
I was supposed to go out with Ichika,
but she caught a cold and has a fever.
**[16:03] Ryo**
What?!
**[16:04] Rio**
I was thinking about visiting her.
Did you want to come— Oh.
***SIGN*** Gone
**[16:12] Rio**
Damn, he's fast.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Ichika**
I said something really mean to Ryo-san.
**[16:17] Rio**
*They've been awkward ever since that day,*
**[16:19] Rio**
*so I hope this helps them work things out.*
**[16:27] Ichika**
*I need to make this up to Rio.*
**[16:32] Ichika**
Yes?
**[16:35] Mom**
Ichika, were you asleep?
**[16:37] Ichika**
No... What's wrong?
**[16:39] Mom**
An "Amakusa-san" is here to see you.
**[16:42] Mom**
Sh-Should I let them in?
**[16:44] Ichika**
Yeah, sure.
**[16:46] Ichika**
*I guess Rio came to see me.*
**[16:48] Mom**
Are you sure?
**[16:49] Ichika**
Yeah.
**[16:50] Mom**
You're really sure?
**[16:52] Ichika**
I said yes, jeez.
**[16:55] Ichika**
*My mom's met Rio. What was that about?*
**[17:00] Ichika**
Yes? Come in.
**[17:03] Ryo**
Pardon me! Ichika-san, are you all right?!
**[17:06] Ichika**
Huh?!
**[17:07] Mom**
Well, make yourself at home, Ryo-kun.
**[17:10] Ryo**
Thank you very much for
your concern, Yuriko-san.
**[17:12] Ichika**
*Wait... "Amakusa" was* that *Amakusa-san?!*
**[17:15] Ichika**
* Also, why are they calling*
* each other by their first names?*
**[17:16] Mom**
I'm sorry it's so messy.
**[17:19] Ryo**
Oh, it's perfectly fine.
**[17:20] (Flashback) Ryo**
I'm sorry for showing up so suddenly.
My name is Amakusa Ryo.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Ryo**
I'm Ichika-san's friend's older brother.

* I'm in my pajamas right*
* now and my hair's a mess.*
**[17:34] Ryo**
I'm sorry for showing up out of the blue.
**[17:37] Ryo**
How are you feeling?
**[17:40] Ichika**
I-I'm okay... Did Rio tell you?
**[17:44] Ryo**
Yes. I brought you a few things.
**[17:47] Ryo**
I have a variety of cold
medicine, cool gel sheets,
**[17:50] Ryo**
pudding, gelatin, some fruit...
**[17:53] Ryo**
Oh, and something to drink, and...
**[17:55] Ichika**
I appreciate it, but you
clearly bought too much.
**[18:00] Ichika**
Is something wrong?
**[18:01] Ryo**
No, no. Don't mind me.

*As imprudent as it may sound,*

Then may I have the gelatin?
**[18:14] Ryo**
Yes, of course. Here you go.
**[18:17] Ichika**
Please don't get too close.
I don't want you to catch my cold.
**[18:21] Ryo**
I'd be more than happy to catch your cold.
**[18:23] Ichika**
Please don't say that.
**[18:24] Ryo**
Actually, they say a cold heals faster
if you give it to someone else.
**[18:28] Ryo**
Let me catch it!
**[18:29] Ichika**
Uh, what are you even saying?
**[18:32] Ryo**
Oh, I'm sorry. Are you all right?
**[18:37] Ichika**
It's good.
**[18:38] Ryo**
At least you have an appetite.
Thank goodness.
**[18:41] Ichika**
My fever's not that high, either.
I just have a cough.
**[18:47] Ryo**
Ichika-san, that part of your room...
**[18:49] Ichika**
I-I didn't know what to do with them,
so they just all ended up together.
**[18:52] Ryo**
So you've put them all on display.
**[18:55] Ryo**
Thank you so much.
**[18:57] Ryo**
Oh, I'll take care of the trash.
**[18:59] Ichika**
* Thank goodness...*
* He's acting like he usually does.*

**[19:23] (Flashback) Masuda**
What?
**[19:24] Ryo**
I'm sorry... I was in a hurry,

**[19:37] Ryo**
Is something the matter?
**[19:39] Ichika**
You always pull things off so flawlessly,

but this has such a handmade feel...
**[19:46] Ichika**
I'm sorry for laughing.
**[19:56] Ichika**
Um...
**[19:57] Ichika**
I'm sorry for the mean things I said
**[20:00] Ichika**
when we were studying for
our test the other day.
**[20:04] Ryo**
Mean things?
**[20:06] Ryo**
That didn't bother me at all.
**[20:09] Ichika**
But... it's true that I made
you look distraught, so...
**[20:16] Ichika**
I'm sorry.
**[20:20] Ryo**
It's okay.
**[20:23] Ryo**
So what you're saying... is that you've
accepted my love, is that right?
**[20:28] Ichika**
How did you reach that conclusion?
**[20:30] Ryo**
Well, isn't that what it means?
**[20:32] Ichika**
How can you possibly reach
that misunderstanding?
**[20:34] Ryo**
Oh, that reminds me.
I borrowed Masuda's camera.
**[20:38] Ryo**
May I take a photo of you ill?
**[20:42] Ichika**
Did you honestly think I'd say yes?!
**[20:45] Ryo**
Now, now. You shouldn't shout.
It'll make your cold worse.
**[20:49] Ichika**
And whose fault is that?!
**[20:54] Ryo**
Oh, Ichika-san.
**[20:55] Ryo**
We should probably swap
out your cool gel sheet...

Did you get a bad score?

No... I did really well.
**[21:37] Rio**
Then what's the problem?
**[21:38] Ichika**
There isn't one, exactly...
But it's somehow still upsetting.
**[21:42] Ichika**
This happened because I used
Ryo-san's study guide,

so I just feel... you know...
**[21:49] Rio**
Huh...
**[21:50] Rio**
It's a good thing, so just be happy.

Yeah... I know, but...

**[22:10] Ryo**
Why do you ask?
**[22:11] Watanabe**
You'd seemed a bit down lately,
but you seem to be in higher spirits now.
**[22:18] Ryo**
I guess I've got some stuff to work
on if you're seeing through me.
**[22:21] Watanabe**
Don't underestimate my
keen observation skills.
**[22:24] Ryo**
I'm not sure if I'd say something good
happened. It's more of a hunch.
**[22:28] Ryo**
I'm sure she scored pretty well.

**[00:05] Satsuki**
Aw, man... I want some
excitement in my life.
**[00:09] Ruri**
Where'd that come from, Satsuki?
**[00:11] Satsuki**
I mean, Christmas is coming up,
**[00:14] Satsuki**
and then we have our class trip.
**[00:17] Satsuki**
I wanna make the most of my youth.
**[00:18] Satsuki**
I need to feel those butterflies!
**[00:20] Rio**
So basically... you want a boyfriend.
**[00:23] Satsuki**
Yeah, pretty much.
**[00:25] Ruri**
Well, what's your type?
**[00:28] Satsuki**
Let's see...
**[00:29] Satsuki**
I'd prefer someone who's my age.
**[00:31] Satsuki**
Also, I'd like someone
athletic and taller than me,
**[00:36] Satsuki**
who looks great holding some
carbonated drink in early summer,
**[00:39] Sautski**
has short hair, is super friendly
and popular with everyone,
**[00:42] Satsuki**
and at the school sports tournament,
all eyes will be on him.
**[00:46] Ichikka**
Okay, got it. Come back down to Earth now.
**[00:48] Satsuki**
Yeah, once I start, it's hard to stop.
**[00:51] Rio**
What's your type, Ruri?
**[00:52] Kai**
*Girls sure love talking about this stuff.*
**[00:53] Ruri**
Me? I prefer older gentlemen.
**[00:56] Ruri**
He'd greet me with, "Good day, milady,"
and he should be good at making tea.
**[01:00] Ruri**
I will say that I prefer them taller.
**[01:03] Ruri**
He doesn't usually wear reading glasses,
but when you spot him with them,
**[01:08] Ruri**
he gets bashful and says,
"My, how embarrassing—
**[01:11] Ichika**
Okay, we got it, Ru-chan.
**[01:13] Rio**
What's your type, Ichika?
**[01:14] Ichika**
Huh? Um...
**[01:17] Ichika**
S-Someone normal?
**[01:19] Rio**
Wow, that's vague.
**[01:21] Satsuki**
C'mon! We need the deets!
**[01:24] Ichika**
Someone... who's not tall...
**[01:27] Ichika**
Someone who's not that great
at academics or sports,
***SIGN*** Tall
***SIGN*** Top of his class
***SIGN*** Very athletic
***SIGN*** Older
***SIGN*** Has light-colored hair
***SIGN*** Aggressively pushy
**[01:30] Ichika**
and someone who's my age or younger.
**[01:32] Ichika**
Someone who doesn't have light-colored hair,
**[01:34] Ichika**
and someone who isn't too pushy.
**[01:37] Ichika**
Oh, and someone who doesn't talk too much.
**[01:40] Rio**
Huh...
**[01:41] Ichika**
Wh-What, Rio?
**[01:43] Rio**
Oh, nothing.
**[01:44] Rio**
It's just that I know someone who's the
exact opposite of everything you just said.
**[01:48] Ichika**
Oh, really? What a coincidence...
**[01:52] Satsuki**
You know, the guy you just described
**[01:55] Satsuki**
is Tamaru to a T.
**[01:58] Ruri**
Wait, Ichika, do you like Tamaru-kun?
**[02:00] Ichika**
What? No. That was pure coincidence.
**[02:03] Ichika**
Tamaru-kun's going to hear you.
**[02:05] Satsuki**
Oh, it's fine. It looks like he's asleep.
**[02:07] Ichika**
Okay, enough.
**[02:08] Ichika**
Let's stop talking about this.
**[02:10] Ichika**
Anyway, what about you, Rio?

That was the last thing
I was expecting to hear.
**[02:25] Ichika**
I even check out the Kyushu tournament.

**[04:18] Ryo**
What? Is there something on my face?
**[04:21] Saito**
Huh? Oh, no! It's nothing!
**[04:24] Saito**
So these go with the other documents.
**[04:27] Saito**
Don't you think the acting section
chief seems a bit different lately?
**[04:31] Kotake**
Hmm... He doesn't seem as prickly.
**[04:35] Saito**
Yeah, exactly!
**[04:37] Kotake**
It has to be something in his private life.
**[04:40] Kotake**
It's probably his girlfriend.
**[04:43] Hanaoka**
What? He has a girlfriend?
**[04:46] Hanaoka**
Is he even the type to pick just one girl?
**[04:50] Saito**
So I guess the rumors are probably true...
**[04:54] Saito**
"Let's just quietly admire
Acting Section Chief Amakusa"
**[04:57] Saito**
is the unspoken rule with
all the ladies here.
**[05:00] Kotake**
Right?
**[05:01] Kotake**
He's pretty much a celebrity in my mind.
**[05:05] Kotake**
Just for viewing.
**[05:07] Hanaoka**
You were definitely trying to
get his attention a year ago.
**[05:11] Kotake**
I'd just joined the company
and I had no idea!
**[05:14] Saito**
Yeah, that's pretty much the image he has.
**[05:18] Saito**
But... I happened to hear something.
**[05:22] Both**
Huh?
**[05:24] Saito**
Do you want to know?
**[05:29] Saito**
Sigh, I just want to go home. Where did he go?
**[05:35] Saito**
There he is. Acting Section Chief Amakusa—
**[05:37] Ryo**
Yes.
**[05:39] Saito**
*Oh, he's on the phone.*
**[05:41] Ryo**
Ichika-san, how's your cold?
**[05:46] Saito**
*Ichika-san? That's a given name...*
**[05:49] Saito**
*Wait, is that his girlfriend?!*
**[05:51] Ryo**
Oh, thank goodness.
**[05:53] Ryo**
But the cold's still going
around, so please take care.
**[05:57] Saito**
* So formal... She must be*
* older. That's surprising.*
**[06:01] Ryo**
By the way, how did you
do on the test at school?
**[06:05] Saito**
* School? Test? That means*
* she must be... a teacher!*
***SIGN*** Classics B
**[06:10] Female teacher**
Oh, dear, Ryo-kun. Were you listening to me?
**[06:14] Ryo**
That's great...
**[06:17] Ryo**
Huh?
**[06:18] Ryo**
Oh, I made that on my own, so...
**[06:21] Saito**
*Wait, is he doing everything for her?!*
**[06:25] Ryo**
Here, I made this, if you'd like to...
**[06:27] Female teacher**
I don't want it. I'm rather tired right now.
**[06:32] Saito**
*Seriously?*
**[06:34] Ryo**
Yes. Well, goodbye. Oh, Ichika-san...
**[06:39] Ryo**
I love you.
**[06:42] Kotake**
Wait, seriously?!
**[06:44] Kotake**
Our acting section chief actually
said that with a smile?!
***SIGN*** Squee
**[06:48] Saito**
He totally said that, looking like a
middle school boy admiring his crush.
**[06:53] Saito**
I felt embarrassed for him.
**[06:55] Kotake**
I can't even imagine him like that!
**[06:58] Saito**
I felt envious just watching.
**[07:02] Saito**
I want to feel that way and have
someone feel that way about me.
**[07:05] Hanaoka**
You're suddenly some chick at
the bar that just keeps talking.
**[07:09] Hanaoka**
Oh, hey. Our lunch break is almost over.
**[07:12] Kotake**
Huh?
**[07:12] Hanaoka**
Let's try to get through
the rest of the afternoon.
**[07:14] Kotake**
I'm going to stop by the bathroom.
**[07:16] Saito**
Oh, me, too.
**[07:21] Watanabe**
A teacher... Older...?
**[07:40] Kai**
Where are you taking these?
**[07:41] Ichika**
Th-Thanks.
**[07:44] Ichika**
To the storage shed behind the gym.
**[07:46] Kai**
Mm.
**[07:52] Ichika**
I'm sorry, Tamaru-kun.
**[07:54] Ichika**
You were probably heading home,
but ended up helping me out.
**[07:57] Kai**
Nah, it's fine.
**[07:59] Kai**
What's this thing called? Like... a yodel?
**[08:05] Ichika**
You mean an easel?
***SIGN*** Yodel...?
The Alps...?
**[08:06] Kai**
Yeah, that.
**[08:07] Kai**
Are you in the art club?
**[08:10] Ichika**
Yup. I don't know what club
you're in, though. Which one?
**[08:14] Kai**
The literary club.
**[08:16] Ichika**
I can see that.
**[08:17] Kai**
They consider me a rare character.
**[08:21] Ichika**
So you don't show up much, huh?
**[08:23] Ichika**
I'm pretty casual with my club, too.
**[08:26] Kai**
Ah... Are you drawing or
painting anything right now?
**[08:29] Ichika**
Right now, I'm doing an oil painting of a cat.
**[08:33] Ichika**
I'm painting my grandpa's cat.
***SIGN*** Anna
***SIGN*** Always appears to be glaring
**[08:35] Ichika**
Her name is Anna.
**[08:38] Ichika**
She looks so mean,
but that's what makes her cute.
**[08:42] Ichika**
Okay, there we go.
Tamaru-kun, you're a lifesaver.
***SIGN*** Doesn't handle the cold well
**[08:47] Ichika**
I have to return this
key to the faculty room.
**[08:51] Kai**
So, uh, hey...
**[08:52] Ichika**
Huh?
**[08:53] Kai**
Remember... the other night,
when we ran into each other
**[08:56] Kai**
at the convenience store?
**[08:58] Ichika**
Oh, yeah! Talk about a coincidence, huh?
**[09:02] Kai**
Was it also a coincidence that
you were with Amakusa's brother?
**[09:06] Ichika**
That, uh...
**[09:09] Ichika**
When Ryo-san called me, it was while I
was walking home pretty late from club,
**[09:13] Ichika**
so he said he'd walk me home,
and we agreed to meet up there.
**[09:16] Kai**
You guys seem close.
**[09:20] Ichika**
*Now that I think about it,*
**[09:21] Ichika**
* who talks to their friend's*
* older brother on the phone,*
**[09:24] Ichika**
*then waits for him so he can walk them home?*
**[09:26] Ichika**
*Of course. No one does that! Not a soul!*
**[09:29] Ichika**
No, we really aren't close.
**[09:32] Kai**
So, hey... Remember when you said that
you weren't dating Amakusa's brother?
**[09:37] Ichika**
Right! We're not going out!
**[09:38] Tamaru**
In that case...
**[09:42] Tanmaru**
How do you feel... about Amakusa's brother?
***SIGN*** Annoying, Troublesome, Nuisance, Gross
**[09:49] Ichika**
I don't think... I can sum
it up in one word...
**[09:53] Kai**
Oh, forget I said that.
**[09:56] Ichika**
Huh?
**[09:57] Kai**
Sorry. Forget I said anything.
I'm going home. Later.
**[10:02] Ichika**
Tamaru-kun—
**[10:07] Ichika**
He left...
**[10:09] Ichika**
*How do I feel about him?*
***SIGN*** Stare
**[10:12] Ichika**
*He's troublesome and gross...*
**[10:15] Ichika**
*But I don't dislike him completely...*
**[10:18] Ichika**
*I don't think.*
**[10:21] Kai**
*Did I seriously just ask her that?*
***SIGN*** Mystery...
**[10:23] kai**
*But what did that unpleasant face mean?*
**[10:30] Kai**
* Now that I look at her, she and*
* her brother really do look alike.*
**[10:34] Kai**
Hey.
**[10:35] Rio**
Heya.
**[10:36] Rio**
Say, Tamaru...
**[10:38] Kai**
Yeah?
**[10:39] Kai**
Did you run into my brother
right before our exams?
**[10:42] Kai**
I saw him at the convenience store.
**[10:44] Rio**
Was Ichika with him?
**[10:47] Kai**
How did you know?
**[10:48] Rio**
Well, my brother mentioned
meeting someone named Tamaru.
**[10:52] Kai**
Oh, I see.
**[10:54] Kai**
Well, since we're asking questions...
**[10:57] Kai**
Are your brother and Arima close?
**[11:01] Rio**
I'm not sure if I'd call them close...
**[11:03] Rio**
More like my brother is crushing
super hard on Ichika right now.
**[11:09] Kai**
Oh... I see.
**[11:12] Rio**
Yeah.
**[11:13] Kai**
Should you be telling people that?
**[11:15] Rio**
Sure, why not? It doesn't seem like
my brother's trying to hide it.
**[11:19] Rio**
He's aggressively pursuing
her out in the open.
**[11:22] Kai**
*So that's what's going on.*
**[11:24] Kai**
* I think most of my questions*
* have been answered now.*
**[11:27] Kai**
So how do you feel about all of this?
**[11:30] Rio**
Hmm... Well, I think it'd be fun
if the two of them went out.
**[11:35] Kai**
*It'd be fun?*
**[11:37] Rio**
Hey, do you like Ichika, too?
**[11:40] Kai**
Huh? What?! Why would you think that?
**[11:43] Rio**
Huh? Oh, it was just a guess.
**[11:45] Rio**
I've seen you two talking a lot lately.
**[11:47] Kai**
It's not like that...
**[11:51] Rio**
That's good, then.
**[11:53] Rio**
If you really liked her,
I was gonna give you a warning.
**[11:56] Kai**
Huh? A warning?
**[11:57] Rio**
My brother's insane in more ways
than one, so just be on the lookout.
**[12:03] Rio**
But if I was wrong, then never mind.
**[12:07] Rio**
Well, I need to get back to club.
**[12:08] Rio**
See ya.
**[12:13] Kai**
*Pretty insane, huh?*
**[12:16] (Flashback) Ryo**
I hope you continue to get along
with Ichika-san *as classmates*.
**[12:20] Ryo**
* Well, it did seem like he was*
* trying to keep me in check.*
**[12:25] Rio**
*Do you like Ichika, too?*
**[12:31] Kai**
*How do I actually feel about Arima?*
***SIGN*** Koikimo

***SIGN*** T...
Today I made curry
***SIGN*** I don't want any...
**[12:53] Ichika**
Hey, Rio. I wanted to ask you something.
**[12:56] Rio**
I'm not lending you any money.
**[12:58] Ichika**
That's not it. Christmas is coming up soon.
**[13:01] Rio**
Yup. It sure is.
***SIGN*** SUMO Store
**[13:04] Ichika**
Right, so...
**[13:06] Ichika**
I... I was thinking about
giving Ryo-san a present...
**[13:11] Rio**
Huh?
**[13:12] Ichika**
But I have no idea what to get him,
**[13:14] Ichika**
so I was hoping you could
give me some advice.
**[13:17] Rio**
I see. When did you guys get that close?
**[13:20] Ichika**
We're not! Not at all! Stop that!
**[13:24] Ichika**
I wanted to thank him for coming
to see me when I was sick,
**[13:27] Ichika**
and for making me that study guide.
**[13:29] Ichika**
But Christmas is also close, so...
**[13:35] Ichika**
What are you smiling about?
**[13:37] Rio**
Oh, nothing. Also, you know there's
only one thing my brother wants.
**[13:41] Rio**
You can be his Christmas present.
**[13:43] Ichika**
Not happening.
**[13:44] Rio**
Okay.
**[13:45] Rio**
Then let's go look at
some presents after this.
**[13:48] Rio**
We can discuss your budget while we look.
**[13:50] Ichika**
Okay. Thanks.
**[14:03] Employee**
Thank you very much.
**[14:06] Ichika**
Thanks, Rio. You really helped me out.
**[14:10] Ichika**
I wonder how I should give this to him.
**[14:13] Rio**
Well...
**[14:19] Rio**
Yeah?
**[14:20] Rio**
What's up?
**[14:22] Ryo**
I wanted to talk to you about
something. Do you have a sec?
**[14:25] Rio**
Do you want to ask me what
to get Ichika for Christmas?
**[14:29] Ryo**
What? How'd you know?
**[14:31] Rio**
Just a hunch.
**[14:33] Rio**
* Onii-chan and Ichika are starting*
* to think the same way.*
**[14:37] Rio**
But wait. You've been sending
Ichika a ton of presents already.
**[14:41] Rio**
Why do you suddenly need advice?
**[14:43] Ryo**
I've sent her a bunch of
plushies and flowers until now,
**[14:47] Ryo**
but I figured I might be the only
one who's enjoying giving her those.
**[14:50] Rio**
What?
**[14:52] Rio**
You're just realizing this now?
**[14:53] Ryo**
No, I realized it,
**[14:55] Ryo**
but I was enjoying Ichika-san's cute
reactions to those self-serving gifts,
**[14:59] Ryo**
so I just kept doing it.
**[15:02] Rio**
You're seriously the worst.
What is wrong with you?
**[15:05] Ryo**
But I want to give Ichika-san something
she'll actually like for Christmas.
**[15:09] Ryo**
She does look cute when she's disgusted...
**[15:12] (Flashback) Kai**
I'll bring you the Gaiden
from that series tomorrow.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Ichika**
Really? Thanks!
**[15:17] Ryo**
But I wanted to see her
genuinely happy even more.
**[15:25] Rio**
There.
**[15:27] Rio**
I just sent you a rundown of things that
**[15:29] Rio**
Ichika is guaranteed to like.
**[15:31] Rio**
I'm sure any of them will make her happy.
**[15:34] Ryo**
Thanks.
**[15:35] Rio**
You owe me one.
**[15:37] Ryo**
You're really cheeky sometimes.
**[15:44] Ryo**
*So this is what Ichika-san wants.*
**[15:46] Ryo**
All that's left is...
**[15:50] Ichika**
*All that's left is...*
**[15:51] Both**
*...Rio's present.*
**[15:53] Both**
*What should I get her?*
**[15:56] Ichika**
The final day... of the sumo tournament...
**[16:04] Arie**
Amakusa!
**[16:06] Arie**
You forgot your pen.
**[16:08] Ryo**
Hey, Matsushima. Thanks.
**[16:16] Kakihara**
Hey!
**[16:17] Kakihara**
What's going on, Arrietty?
**[16:19] Arie**
Could you not call me that?
**[16:21] Kakihara**
Your name's Matsushima Arie,
so Arrietty it is. It's cute.
**[16:24] Kakihara**
More importantly, why are you calling the
acting section chief by his first name?
**[16:28] Arie**
Because we started at the same time.
**[16:29] Kakihara**
I didn't know that! Are you guys close?
**[16:32] Arie**
We work in different departments,
**[16:33] Arie**
so we basically just chat a bit
when we see each other at meetings.
**[16:36] Kakihara**
You don't have a boyfriend right now, right?
**[16:39] Kakihara**
What about the acting section chief?
**[16:40] Arie**
Oh, please.
**[16:42] Arie**
I've never thought of him that way.
**[16:44] Arie**
Besides, doesn't Amakusa have a girlfriend
he's head over heels for right now?
**[16:48] Kakihara**
Yeah, I think I heard that rumor.
**[16:50] Kakihara**
Something about an older girlfriend
who works as a teacher?
**[16:55] Ryo**
All right, you're good.
**[16:58] Saito**
Thank you very much.
**[16:59] Ryo**
Great job.
**[17:01] Saito**
I'm sorry to make you stay late with me.
**[17:04] Watanabe**
Acting Section Chief.
**[17:06] Watanabe**
Some of us were talking about
going drinking after work.
**[17:10] Watanabe**
Would you like to come?
**[17:12] Ryo**
Huh? Um...
**[17:13] Ryo**
*Maybe it's too late today.*
**[17:16] Male employee 1**
You know he probably has plans for Christmas.
**[17:20] Ryo**
Well, I don't really have
other plans, so... Okay, I—
**[17:24] Ryo**
Oh, sorry. My phone's ringing.
**[17:33] Ryo**
Sorry! S-Something came up!
I'm out. Great job, guys.
**[17:39] Saito**
*Was that his girlfriend?*
**[17:40] Guy employee 1**
*Must be a date.*
**[17:41] Hanaoka**
* Was that his older girlfriend*
* who's a teacher?*
**[17:54] Ryo**
Ichika-san!
**[17:58] Ryo**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[17:59] Ichika**
No, I'm sorry for suddenly
asking you to come here.
**[18:01] Ryo**
No, no. I had just finished up work.
**[18:05] Ryo**
So what brought this on? You said
you wanted to give me something?
**[18:09] Ichika**
Um...
**[18:11] Ryo**
While you were waiting,
did anyone mistake you
**[18:14] Ryo**
as an angel that came down to Earth this
holy night and try to take you away?
**[18:19] Ichika**
Of course not!
**[18:21] Ichika**
Actually, I was with Rio up until I called you.
**[18:25] Ryo**
With Rio?
**[18:26] Ichika**
But once I got a hold of you...
**[18:29] (Flashback) Rio**
Well, I'm gonna head home to watch
some special Christmas programming.
**[18:32] (Flashback) Rio**
Good luck.
**[18:33] (Flashback) Ichika**
Huh?!
**[18:34] Ryo**
She's just so...
**[18:39] Ichika**
Here.
**[18:40] Ichika**
This is for visiting me when I was sick,
**[18:43] Ichika**
the study guide you gave me, and...
**[18:46] Ichika**
A Ch... Ch...
**[18:48] Ichika**
A Christmas present...
**[19:00] Ryo**
M-May I open it?
**[19:02] Ichika**
G-Go ahead.
**[19:06] Ichika**
You're being way too careful with that.
**[19:09] Ryo**
I need to make sure I don't rip anything.
**[19:14] Ryo**
A tie clip?
**[19:17] Ichika**
I-If you don't like the design,
you can just throw it a—
**[19:20] Ryo**
May I!
**[19:20] Ryo**
May I put it on?!
**[19:22] Ichika**
Don't just suddenly unbutton
your coat like some flasher!
**[19:27] Ichika**
You startled me.
**[19:38] Ryo**
Thank you very much.
**[19:42] Ryo**
I'll treasure it always.
**[19:44] Ryo**
I'll put it on an altar when I get home.
**[19:46] Ichika**
Just put it on your tie.
**[19:49] Ryo**
Ichika-san, I have a
present for you, as well.
**[19:52] Ichika**
Huh? You didn't have to.
**[19:54] Ryo**
This gift is special.
**[19:56] Ryo**
Please open it.
**[20:02] Ichika**
Fo...
**[20:03] Ryo**
Fo?
**[20:04] Ichika**
*Forward World*'s first-press limited

**[20:09] Ichika**
It even came with the shop-exclusive

**[20:13] Ichika**

**[20:16] Ichika**
Oh my gosh! I'm can't... I'm so happy.
**[20:25] Ichika**
Thank you so much!
**[20:30] Ichika**
Why are you laughing?
**[20:32] Ryo**
Oh, I'm sorry... It's just that you're
even happier than I expected.
**[20:39] Ichika**
But how did you know what I'd want?
**[20:43] Ryo**
Actually, I asked Rio for advice.
**[20:45] Ryo**
I told her I wanted to give you
something that'd make you happy,
**[20:48] Ryo**
and she recommended that.
**[20:50] Ichika**
Huh? I also asked Rio
what I should get you...
**[20:55] Ryo**
You did?
**[21:00] Rio**
* You know, it's pretty hilarious*
* that I basically ended up*
**[21:04] Rio**
*suggesting both of their gifts.*
**[21:06] Ryo**
I'm home.
**[21:08] Rio**
Onii-chan? Isn't he home kinda early?
**[21:14] Rio**
How'd the gift exchange...
**[21:16] Ichika**
Hello. I bought some cake.
**[21:20] Rio**
Huh? Why?
**[21:22] Ichika**
Rio, we wanted to have a Christmas
party with you. Is that okay?
**[21:29] Rio**
You guys are a trip.
**[21:32] Ichika**
Wow, you really are a great cook, Ryo-san.
**[21:40] Ichika**
It's so good.
**[21:41] Rio**
Right? It's infuriating.
**[21:44] Ryo**
What do you mean, it's infuriating?
**[21:49] Ryo**
Anyway, Rio, you're eating way
too much chicken for one person.
**[21:52] Rio**
Well, I was bored.
**[21:54] Ryo**
Uh, this is the family set for a party.
You're gonna gain weight.
**[21:58] Rio**
I'll be fine. I'll lose
the weight in my club.
**[22:01] Ryo**
Really?

**[02:24] Masuda**
Ow, ow, ow! You're gonna pull it off!
**[02:25] Ichika**
But I never expected you to be the
photographer for our school trip, Masuda-san.
**[02:30] Masuda**
Huh?
**[02:30] Masuda**
Well, I occasionally tag along with one of
my seniors to take photos on school trips.

When I heard the school name
today, I was like, "No way!"
**[02:39] Masuda**
But it turned out my hunch was spot-on!
**[02:41] Rio**
Did you tell my brother you'd be
tagging along as a photographer?
**[02:44] Masuda**
Tell Ryo? No.
**[02:46] Ichika**
You didn't?
**[02:47] Masuda**
Well, I mean...
**[02:49] Masuda**
I'm 100% sure he'd have told me to take
tons of pictures of you, Ichika-chan.
**[02:53] Masuda**
And he probably would've insisted
on coming along as an assistant.
***SIGN*** Leave it to me!
***SIGN*** I can see it
clear as day!
**[02:56] Ichika**
I'm so sorry!
**[02:58] Girl**
Masuda-san! Could you
take some photos for us?
**[03:01] Masuda**
Sure thing! Well, I'll see you two later.
**[03:07] Ichika**
Masuda-san sure is popular.
**[03:09] Rio**
Well, he is easy to get along with.
**[03:12] Rio**
Hey, we should take some photos, too.
**[03:14] Ichika**
Sure.

Say "shisa"!

Hey, Amakusa.

You dropped a lot of stuff.
**[03:39] Arie**
Thanks.
**[03:40] Arie**
I guess I left my purse open.
**[03:44] Ryo**
Is this yours?
**[03:47] Arie**
Huh?
**[03:49] Arie**
*Wait, why?!*
***SIGN*** Wait,

This is Toho from *Forward World*, isn't it?
**[04:21] Arie**
Huh?
**[04:22] Ryo**
Huh... I guess you like it, too.
**[04:25] Arie**
Y-You've heard of it?
**[04:26] Ryo**
Yeah... Toho was pretty awesome
in episode 8 of the anime.
**[04:31] Arie**
Episode 8? OMG, I know, right?!
***SIGN*** Gasp!
**[04:33] Arie**
I totally cried the whole episode!
**[04:36] Arie**
I figured you didn't watch
stuff like that, Amakusa.
**[04:40] Ryo**
Yeah, I wasn't that interested.
**[04:43] Ryo**
But someone I know is into anime,
so I started watching because of them.
**[04:48] Ryo**
* I researched the hell out of it*
* since Ichika-san loves it so much.*
***SIGN*** Ah, so this is foreshadowing...
***SIGN*** The animation director is...
**[04:51] Ryo**
Actually, I had no idea that you liked anime.
**[04:54] Arie**
Yeah, well...
**[04:56] Arie**
Listen, could you keep the fact that
I like anime a secret at work?

Sure. But why would you hide it?

I'd prefer to keep this

Huh... Okay, sure.
**[05:12] Ryo**
If you ever want to talk
about anime, hit me up.
***SIGN*** I want more info
on anime anyway...
**[05:17] Ryo**
It's gotta be tough holding
back on something you enjoy.
**[05:22] Ryo**
See ya.
**[05:23] Arie**
S-Sure.
**[05:31] Arie**
*That was the last thing I expected,*

Arima, why are you by yourself?

I got separated from everyone else.
**[06:08] Ichika**
Oh, hey. Do you happen to know Rio,
Sacchan, or Ru-chan's contact info?
**[06:13] Kai**
No, I don't...
**[06:15] Ichika**
I see.
**[06:18] Kai**
Well, our route is laid out, so you'll
probably run into them eventually.
**[06:22] Kai**
Why don't you just look around and have fun?
**[06:25] Ichika**
Actually, that's a good point.
**[06:27] Ichika**
Thanks.
**[06:30] Ichika**
Hey, are you by yourself, too?

Nah, I'm with a group...

Well, I was in a group,
but they just abandoned me.
**[06:42] Ichika**
Huh? Is that okay?
**[06:44] Kai**
Yeah, I have a way to get
a hold of them if I need to.
**[06:47] Ichika**
Tamaru-kun, you seem tired.
**[06:50] Kai**
Oh... It's just that I don't
like being in big crowds.
***SIGN*** Suggested route
**[06:57] Ichika**
Hey, Tamaru-kun. Why don't
we check out the big tank?
**[07:00] Kai**
Sure.
**[07:09] Kai**
You weren't kidding when you said "big."
**[07:11] Ichika**
When we're this close,
all you can see are the fish,
**[07:14] Ichika**
so it's like we're underwater
with no one else around.
**[07:20] Ichika**
Tamaru-kun, look! A whale shark! Wow!
**[07:23] Ichika**
They're bigger than I thought! And so cute!
**[07:31] Masuda**
What a great smile, Ichika-chan!
**[07:34] Ichika**
Please don't take pictures without warning.
**[07:36] Masuda**
Sorry about that. You just looked
so cute, all excited and stuff.
**[07:41] Ichika**
Masuda-san, do you have Rio's contact info?
**[07:44] Masuda**
Hm? Yeah, I do.
**[07:45] Ichika**
My phone died, so I haven't been
able to get a hold of her.
**[07:48] Masuda**
You can use my phone.
Go ahead and contact her.
**[07:51] Ichika**
Thank you.
**[07:53] Kai**
Arima, you know him?
**[07:56] Ichika**
Masuda-san is Ryo-san's friend.
I just met him recently.
**[07:59] Masuda**
Ah, so you know Ryo, eh?
Nice to meet you, my boy.
**[08:04] Kai**
I'm not your boy. My name's Tamaru.
**[08:06] Kai**
*Of course he had to know that guy.*
**[08:09] Ichika**
Hello, Rio?
**[08:10] Ichika**
I just borrowed Masuda-san's cellphone.
**[08:11] Masuda**
Hey, did I get in your way?
**[08:13] Ichika**
Yeah. Okay, we can meet up later.
Okay. Let's meet at the aquarium.
**[08:14] Tamaru**
Wha— It's not like that.
**[08:17] Masuda**
You sure?
**[08:19] Masuda**
* Ryo seemed really worried about*
* Ichika-chan. I guess he might be why.*
**[08:25] Satsuki**
I bought some gifts! Aren't they cute?
**[08:28] Ichika**
Wow, they are!
**[08:30] Ruri**
Want to make plans for
our free time tomorrow?
**[08:32] Rio**
Sure.
**[08:38] Satsuki**
What's wrong? Someone calling you?
**[08:39] Ichika**
Uh, yeah...
**[08:41] Ruri**
You don't need to answer?
***SIGN*** Figured
it out
**[08:45] Rio**
Why don't you take it in the hallway?
**[08:46] Ichika**
Y-Yeah, I will.
**[08:55] Ichika**
You know that I'm on my school
trip right now, don't you?
**[08:58] Ryo**
I'm terribly sorry. There's just something
that I absolutely had to confirm.
**[09:02] Ichika**
*Confirm?*
**[09:03] Ryo**
I called Masuda a moment ago because
I needed to talk to him, and he said...
***SIGN*** Jasmine
Tea
**[09:08] Masuda**
Actually, I'm in Okinawa with Ichika-chan and
her class as a photographer on their school trip!
**[09:13] Ryo**
And, yeah... Knowing him, it could be a joke,
so I wanted to confirm with you.
**[09:20] Ichika**
*Um... Yes, Masuda-san is here.*
**[09:24] Ryo**
That asshole... I'm so jealous!
***SIGN*** Grrr
**[09:28] Ichika**
*I mean, he's working...*
**[09:29] Ryo**
I know, but... Damn it!
**[09:32] Ryo**
*More importantly, how's your trip going?*
**[09:36] Ichika**
It's a lot of fun.
I went to the aquarium today.
**[09:39] Ichika**
The whale shark was really cute.
**[09:41] Ryo**
* Ah, a whale shark. I don't*
* think I've seen one before.*
**[09:45] Ryo**
*Are you feeling okay, by the way?*
**[09:47] Ichika**
Jeez, you worry too much.
You're not my mom.
**[09:52] Ryo**
*Am I acting like Yuriko-san?*
**[09:53] Ichika**
Could you not address my mother by her name?
**[09:56] Ichika**
Also, if you wanted to know if Masuda-san
was here, why didn't you just call Rio?
**[10:02] Ryo**
Well, if I'm going to call one of you,
I'd prefer to call you.
**[10:05] Ryo**
And if my instincts are correct,
**[10:07] Ryo**
I'm pretty sure you're starting
to miss hearing my vo—
**[10:10] Ichika**
I absolutely am not.
**[10:11] Ryo**
You must be missing m—
**[10:12] Ichika**
That is the last thing you need to worry about.
**[10:15] Ryo**
*I'm sorry. I'm only kidding.*
**[10:18] Ryo**
I did call about Masuda,
**[10:23] Ryo**
but the biggest reason I'm calling you
is that I wanted to hear your voice.
**[10:32] Ichika**
Having Rio and Masuda-san here
**[10:35] Ichika**
while you're not here...
**[10:38] Ichika**
does make me miss you...
**[10:41] Ichika**
a little.
**[10:45] Ryo**
*Really?*
**[10:46] Ichika**
J-Just a little! Just, like, a teaspoon!
Only a tiny bit!
**[10:51] Ryo**
*And my happiness is as vast as the ocean!*
**[10:54] Ichika**
That sounds very broad and deep.
**[10:57] Ryo**
Oh, that reminds me. One of my
coworkers likes *Forward World*.
**[11:03] Ichika**
*What?! Really?!*
**[11:05] Ryo**
* She asked me not to mention it at work,*
* but telling Ichika-san should be fine.*
**[11:10] Ryo**
*They apparently like Toho, too.*

We even have the same fave!

*I'll ask them next time.*
**[11:21] Ichika**
*Yes! If you could!*
**[11:23] Ryo**
* Ichika-san gets so excited when she*
* talks about anime. She's so cute.*
**[11:28] Ichika**
*Okay, I'm gonna head back now.*
**[11:31] Ryo**
Sure. Have fun tomorrow, too.
**[11:33] Ryo**
Goodnight.

I was gonna buy drinks for everyone.

Everyone? Oh, you mean
Amakusa and the others.

want to do with our free time tomorrow.

We can do a pilgrimage.

**[13:28] (Flashback) Kai**
The place where the *Forward World*

Are you concerned about
Ichika and Tamaru-kun?
**[14:10] Rio**
"Not at all"... might be a lie.
**[14:14] Ruri**
Well, you are her best friend.
**[14:17] Rio**
Tamaru told me he didn't
really have feelings for her.
**[14:21] Ruri**
Oh? Well, maybe his feelings changed.
**[14:25] Rio**
Could be.
**[14:26] Ruri**
But inviting her to do a nerd pilgrimage
is really cute of Tamaru-kun.
**[14:31] Rio**
Ruri, you're acting like a mom again.

No, I just thought someone

Huh?

Ah... I see. You thought someone was

How chivalrous, my guy!
***SIGN*** Ha ha ha ha ha

H-Here's your tea.
**[15:51] Ichika**
Oh... Thanks. How much was it?
**[15:54] Kai**
Don't worry about it.
Since I'm just in high school,
**[15:57] Kai**
this is about all I can treat you to.
**[16:02] Kai**
Arima, thanks for hanging out with me today.
**[16:05] Ichika**
No, no. Thank you for inviting me!
**[16:08] Ichika**
Since we went around together,

What the heck?
**[16:17] Ichika**
I-I guess it's almost time to meet back up.
**[16:20] Kai**
Yeah, let's go.
**[16:25] Ichika**
*I'm not sure what it is, but...*
**[16:26] Ichika**
*Did Tamaru-kun always make faces like that?*
**[16:34] Satsuki**
I can't believe our school
trip's already over.
**[16:37] Ruri**
Maybe we can come back
for our graduation trip.
**[16:40] Ichika**
Hey, Rio. Does Ryo-san not like sweets?
**[16:44] Rio**
I think he likes them just fine.
**[16:47] Ichika**
Okay, that's good.
**[16:49] Rio**
Is that a gift for my brother?
**[16:52] Ichika**
Yeah, I ended up getting him some sweets.
**[16:55] Ichika**
Is that too basic?
**[16:59] Ichika**
Maybe I should've gotten
something other than food.
**[17:01] Rio**
I'm sure my brother will
be more than happy to have
**[17:04] Rio**
any gift you thought hard about getting him.
**[17:06] Ichika**
Huh?
**[17:07] Teacher**
We're going to board soon.
**[17:09] Kids**
Yes, sir.
**[17:15] Ryo**
So, Ichika-san...
***SIGN*** Good Happy Guy
**[17:17] Ryo**
What movie should we watch?
**[17:18] Ichika**
Don't give me that.
**[17:20] Ryo**
Huh?
**[17:20] Ichika**
I just came to give you
your gift from my trip.
***SIGN*** Gift
**[17:25] Ichika**
I did find it weird that you wanted
to meet in front of a movie theater.
**[17:30] Ryo**
Did you have plans after this?
**[17:32] Ichika**
Unfortunately, no. Anyway, I'm going home.
***SIGN*** Sad...
**[17:36] Ryo**
Ichika-san, please wait. Since we're here...
**[17:42] Ryo**
Ichika-san?
**[17:45] Ichika**
Okay, just let go of my hand.
**[17:51] Ichika**
Shall we have you escorted
away by the police?
**[17:54] Ryo**
I'm sorry. I went a bit too far.
***SIGN*** Please, no
**[17:58] Ryo**
So, what movie did you want to watch?
**[18:03] Ichika**
Actually, let's watch
something you want to watch.
**[18:05] Ryo**
Me?
**[18:07] Ichika**
You apparently know what I like,
as annoying as that is...
**[18:13] Ryo**
Well, I have insider information.
***SIGN*** You rang?
**[18:16] Ichika**
But I don't think I know
anything about what you like.
**[18:23] Ryo**
The only thing I like is you, Ichik—
**[18:25] Ichika**
Yeah, stop. Just pick a movie.
**[18:30] Ryo**
I'll go buy our drinks.
**[18:32] Ichika**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Recording movies
in the theater
is a crime.
**[18:34] Ichika**
* When he grabbed my arm earlier,*
* it reminded me of Tamaru-kun.*
**[18:39] Ichika**
*I could tell he was nervous and not used to it.*
**[18:43] Ichika**
*That must be how high school boys are.*
**[18:47] Ichika**
* He was completely different from*
* Ryo-san, who's a confident adult.*
**[18:51] Ichika**
*He held my hand. Wait...*
**[18:55] Ichika**
*Why am I comparing them?*
**[18:57] Ichika**
*Wow, this is awful. Ugh...*
**[19:00] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[19:01] Ichika**
Y-Yes?
**[19:02] Ryo**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[19:03] Ryo**
I bought some popcorn.
Why don't we share it?
***SIGN*** Salt
***SIGN*** Caramel
**[19:06] Ichika**
Hey, that sounds great!
**[19:08] Ichika**
I haven't had popcorn in forever!
**[19:10] Ryo**
Oh, dear. I'd love to have some
myself, but my hands are full.
**[19:14] Ryo**
Could you feed some to me?
**[19:16] Ichika**
Then I can just hold it for you.
**[19:20] Ryo**
Oh, I'll just set it down right here.
***SIGN*** Feed-me challenge failed
**[19:22] Ryo**
Also, it gets a bit chilly in this
theater, so I bought a blanket.
**[19:27] Ryo**
Here you go.
**[19:28] Ichika**
Thank you very much.
**[19:29] Announcement**
* To our patrons with tickets*
* to theater number 3,*
**[19:32] Announcement**
*please come to the theater entrance.*
**[19:33] Ryo**
We should get going.
**[19:39] Ichika**
Um... Is this it?
**[19:42] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[19:43] Ryo**
You can probably see the
screen better from this seat.
**[19:46] Ichika**
Oh, okay.
**[19:50] Ryo**
Here's your drink, and help
yourself to some popcorn.
**[19:53] Ichika**
Thank you.
**[19:56] Ichika**
* Other guys were sitting over there,*
* so he switched with me.*
**[20:02] Ichika**
*He's so used to this.*
**[20:03] Ichika**
* It's insanely obvious that Ryo-san*
* is used to going on dates.*
**[20:07] Ichika**
*Of course he is, though. It's Ryo-san.*
**[20:10] Ichika**
* He must've been to this theater*
* before, too... with another lady.*
**[20:19] Ichika**
* Maybe I should've worn*
* something more sophisticated.*
**[20:23] Ryo**
* I want to ask her what happened*
* with Tamaru on their trip, but I can't.*
**[20:29] (Flashback) Ryo**
Ichika-san and Tamaru spent
their free time together?!
**[20:33] (Flashback) Masuda**
Yeah. They were together
at the aquarium, too.
**[20:36] (Flashback) Masuda**
Dude, I told you everything I know.
You can ask her the rest yourself.
**[20:43] Ryo**
* Am I afraid something might*
* have happened between them?*
**[20:49] Ryo**
*How lame can I be?*
**[21:39] Ryo**
It's a remake of a classic film,
and it got pretty decent reviews.
**[21:44] Ryo**
Ichika-san?
**[21:45] Ichika**
Huh? Oh, right.
**[21:48] Ichika**
The leading actress was really
sophisticated and pretty.
**[21:54] Ryo**
You don't seem to be feeling well,
so I'll walk you home now.
**[21:59] Ichika**
Huh? No...
**[22:00] Ichika**
It's not that I don't feel well...
**[22:05] Ichika**
Ryo-san?
**[22:06] Ryo**
Yes? What is it?
**[22:08] Ichika**
Are you feeling okay, Ryo-san?
**[22:11] Ryo**
Oh, I'm fine.
**[22:13] Ichika**
Okay...
**[22:17] Ichika**
*He looks serious. That's new.*

**[02:32] Arie**
What a coincidence. Are you on break?
**[02:35] Ryo**
Hey. Yeah, something like that.
**[02:38] Ryo**
Are you ditching work?
**[02:40] Arie**
Not quite. Just heading back from a meeting.
**[02:43] Ryo**
I see.
**[02:44] Arie**
Thanks.
**[02:50] Ryo**
Matsushima...
**[02:51] Arie**
Huh? What?
**[02:52] Ryo**
You've got dead leaves on your coat.
**[02:54] Arie**
Huh?
**[02:55] Arie**
You're right!
**[02:58] Arie**
*Way to go, me...*
***SIGN*** I should've checked everything...
**[03:06] Arie**
* He's just doing work on his*

**[03:10] Arie**
* He shouldn't look this*
* picture-perfect. It's not fair.*
**[03:13] Ryo**
Oh, yeah.
**[03:15] Arie**
Huh?
**[03:15] Arie**
*Wait, did he see me staring?*
**[03:17] Ryo**
There's something I wanted
to ask you, Matsushima.
**[03:20] Arie**
Sure, what is it?
***SIGN*** Anime Updates!
***SIGN*** New Spring Anime Lineup
**[03:21] Ryo**
What are your anime

**[03:25] Arie**
What?
**[03:26] Ryo**
There are just too many.
I don't know which ones to watch.
**[03:30] Ryo**
So I wanted to ask for your input.
**[03:34] Ryo**
* Assuming that Matsushima and*
* Ichika-san's tastes are similar,*
**[03:38] Ryo**
* I can get a good guess on*
* what anime she'll watch!*
***SIGN*** The

**[03:45] Arie**
Are you looking up the anime for next season?
**[03:50] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[03:53] Ryo**
What?
**[03:55] Arie**
Sorry, I just wasn't expecting that.
**[03:59] Arie**
Let's see... Oh, I'd
probably go with this one.

***SIGN*** Whisper Whisper...
***SIGN*** Uh, you good?

**[04:09] Arie**

**[04:12] Ryo**

**[04:18] Sign**

**[04:18] Ryo**
I see... Noted.
**[04:21] Ryo**
Thanks.
**[04:23] Arie**
* Yeah, I think Amakusa might*
* actually be pretty great.*
**[04:27] Arie**
*He seems easier to talk to than before.*
**[04:28] Ryo**
I think I've seen this
voice actor's name before.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Arie**
Besides, doesn't Amakusa have a girlfriend
he's head over heels for right now?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Kakihara**
Yeah, I think I heard that rumor.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Kakihara**
Something about an older girlfriend
who works as a teacher?
**[04:39] Arie**
*Oh, right. That rumor's going around.*
**[04:45] Arie**
*Wait...*
**[04:46] (Flashback) Ryo**
Yeah, I wasn't that interested.
**[04:49] (Flashback) Ryo**
But someone I know is into anime,
so I started watching because of them.
**[04:54] Arie**
* So is this person he mentioned*
* actually his girlfriend?*
**[04:57] Arie**
*Ah, it all makes sense now.*
**[05:00] Arie**
* But I've only heard about said*
* girlfriend through rumors.*
**[05:05] Arie**
* It also seems like this rumor*
* took a life of its own.*
**[05:08] Arie**
* I want to get the facts*
* from the actual source!*
**[05:11] Arie**
*Should I? Should I?!*
**[05:13] Ryo**
There sure are a lot of idol anime series...
**[05:15] Arie**
Say, Amakusa...
**[05:17] Arie**
Do you have—
**[05:19] Ryo**
Sounds like you've got a message.
**[05:22] Arie**
Yeah...
**[05:23] Arie**
*This timing...*
**[05:25] Ryo**
Oh.
**[05:27] Ryo**
I've got a meeting, so I'm gonna head back.
**[05:30] Arie**
Sure.
***SIGN*** Jinguji
***SIGN*** Hey!
We figured out when we're going
drinking with work buddies!
**[05:32] Sign**
It's going to be next Friday,
so if you know of anyone
to invite, go ahead!
**[05:39] Arie**
Say, Amakusa!
**[05:41] Arie**
Next Friday, a bunch of us
from work are going drinking.
**[05:45] Arie**
If you're not busy, would you like to come?
**[05:48] Ryo**
Next Friday...
**[05:50] Ryo**
That actually sounds fun.
**[05:53] Ryo**
I'll check my schedule and get back to you.
**[05:55] Arie**
Okay.
**[05:56] Arie**
*Yes... Sweet!*
**[05:58] Arie**
* Okay, I'll ask him about his*
* girlfriend when we all go drinking!*
**[06:01] Arie**
*I totally will!*
***SIGN*** Rustle
**[06:06] Yuriko**
Goodness, Ryo-kun. Are these for me?
***SIGN*** A

**[06:08] Ryo**
It may be a bit cliché, but since your name
means "lily," I figured they'd be fitting.
**[06:13] Yuriko**
Oh, my!
**[06:14] Ryo**
Oh, and here's some pudding.
**[06:16] Ryo**
I hope you all enjoy them.
**[06:19] Rio**
I said I'd walk,
**[06:19] Yuriko**
Oh, my! Oh, who doesn't love clichés?
And you even got us pudding!
**[06:22] Rio**
but he insisted on driving me to your place.
***SIGN*** °Rio came to spend the night at Ichika's
**[06:24] Ryo**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[06:25] Ichika**
Yeah, I had a feeling.
**[06:27] Ryo**
Well, I hope my sister doesn't
cause too much trouble.
**[06:30] Rio**
Thanks for having me over.
**[06:32] Yuriko**
Of course. Come on in, Rio-chan.
**[06:35] Yuriko**
Oh, Ryo-kun. Why not have some tea
since you came all the way here?
**[06:38] Ichika**
What?!
**[06:39] Ryo**
Oh, I'm sorry. I actually have
to head to the office now.
**[06:43] Yuriko**
Oh, that's too bad.
**[06:45] Ichika**
Okay, you heard him.
Just get in the house, Mom!
***SIGN*** Arima
**[06:47] Yuriko**
Hey!
**[06:48] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[06:51] Ichika**
Yes?
**[07:00] Ryo**
Do you think it's okay if I ask Yuriko-san
if I can also spend the night next ti—
**[07:04] Ichika**
Good luck with work! Bye!
**[07:11] Ryo**
*I hate how cowardly I am.*
**[07:14] Ryo**
* I should probably forget*
* about asking Ichika-san*
**[07:17] Ryo**
* about what happened with*
* Tamaru on their school trip.*
**[07:20] Ryo**
*If I'm going to waste time worrying,*
**[07:21] Ryo**
* I should spend that time trying to figure*
* out how to make Ichika-san happy.*
**[07:27] Ryo**
*I barely get to see her as it is.*
**[07:30] Ryo**
* It'd be a waste if something was bugging*
* me when I finally got to see her.*
**[07:35] Ryo**
*Though...*
**[07:36] Ryo**
* If something did indeed happen*
* between Tamaru and Ichika-san...*
**[07:40] Ryo**
*I guess I'll have to deal with that, too.*
**[07:45] Yuriko**
I'm just about to start cooking,
so it'll be a little bit longer until dinner.
**[07:49] Rio**
Oh, I'll help, Yuriko-san.
**[07:51] Ichika**
Why are you calling my mom by her name, too?
**[07:51] Yuriko**
Oh, really?
**[07:55] Yuriko**
Then could you make the salad with Ichika?
**[07:58] Rio**
Sure.
**[07:59] Yuriko**
Do you cook at home, Rio-chan?
**[08:02] Rio**
Hm... I do prepare meals
for myself quite often.
**[08:07] Yuriko**
Wow, that's impressive.
**[08:08] Rio**
My parents aren't home very often
because of work, so I often eat alone.
**[08:13] Ichika**
* Now that I think about it, I've been*
* to Rio's place a bunch of times,*
**[08:17] Ichika**
*but I've never met her parents.*
**[08:19] Yuriko**
You don't eat with Ryo-kun?
**[08:23] Rio**
We eat together every once in a while
when he's done with work early.
**[08:26] Yuriko**
I see. So who cooks when
you two eat together?
**[08:31] Rio**
My brother. Without a doubt,
his dishes taste much better.
**[08:32] Rio BG**
Is it ready yet? I'm starving.
**[08:35] Ryo bg**
Just set the plates and wait!
**[08:38] Ichika**
Yeah, I guess Ryo-san is a pretty good cook.
**[08:42] Yuriko**
You and your brother seem
to get along pretty well.
**[08:45] Rio**
It was only recently that I started
eating with my brother, though.
**[08:49] Rio**
He has his own place, and up until six
months ago, he basically just stayed there.
**[08:54] Ichika**
Wait, Ryo-san has his own place?
**[08:57] Rio**
Yeah. It's close to his office.
**[08:59] Ichika**
Oh, I see.
**[08:59] Sign**
The upper floors
of a high-rise condo
**[09:01] Rio**
But he started coming back to our
place more after he met you.
**[09:06] Ichika**
What? Why?
**[09:08] Rio**
To get intel on you from me, duh.
**[09:11] Ichika**
Oh, come on!
**[09:13] Rio**
Also probably because our dad's
living away from home for work now.
**[09:16] Ichika**
Your dad?
**[09:17] Rio**
My dad and my brother *really* don't get along.
**[09:22] Rio**
They're like cats and dogs.
**[09:24] Rio**
I'm hom—
**[09:25] Dad**
Don't give me that!
**[09:26] Ryo**
What?!
**[09:27] Rio**
My dad's always been ridiculously
hard on my brother.
**[09:28] Dad**
What could you possibly
understand? You're just a child!
**[09:30] Ryo**
At least let me pick my own college!
**[09:33] Rio**
They would argue all the time.
**[09:33] Dad**
Why can't you just listen to me?!
**[09:36] Rio**
I guess he got his own place so he
wouldn't have to see our dad as much.
**[09:41] Ichika**
I see... I guess you did
mention your dad before, too.
**[09:46] Rio**
* He probably also got his own place*
* so he could bring girls over,*
**[09:50] Rio**
*but she doesn't need to know that.*
**[09:52] Rio**
*He hasn't been bringing any over lately.*
**[09:54] Ichika**
The cherry tomatoes are ready.
**[09:56] Rio**
Then do you mind if I add
the finishing touches?
**[09:58] Ichika**
Go ahead.
**[09:59] Rio**
On the other hand, my dad's
not strict with me at all.
**[10:03] Yuriko**
Does Ryo-kun get along with your mom?
**[10:06] Rio**
Oh, my mom and brother are totally fine.
They talk to each other normally.
**[10:11] Yuriko**
So I guess it's just with your dad.
**[10:13] Ichika**
* It's partly because my mom*
* keeps asking questions,*
**[10:13] rio bg**
They're both so stubborn. It's such a pain.
**[10:16] yuriko bg**
That must be rough.
**[10:16] Ichika**
*but Rio's talking way more than usual.*
**[10:19] ichika**
* I'm sure Rio's worried about*
* her brother and father.*
**[10:23] Ichika**
* She doesn't really talk*
* about that kind of stuff.*
**[10:23] Rio bg**
Let's add some paprika
and... Oh, prosciutto.
**[10:27] Ichika**
*Oh, right. Of course.*
**[10:31] Ichika**
I guess you and Ryo-san really
are siblings and family.
**[10:34] Rio**
Uh, did you forget suddenly?
**[10:35] Ichika**
I guess I never really
thought about it until now.
**[10:39] Yuriko**
Oh! Rio-chan's making roses out of
the prosciutto! You're so talented.
**[10:44] Rio**
Oh, no. This is nothing.
**[10:46] Yuriko**
Oh, I wouldn't say that. Ichika's not
that talented, and she's so clumsy.
**[10:51] Yuriko**
Like, when she was in kindergarten,
she spilled juice on her brand new dress.
**[10:52] Ichika**
Mommy, I spilled my juice!
***SIGN*** Mommy,
I spilled my juice!
**[10:57] Yuriko**
Like, seriously, *right* after.
**[10:57] Ichika**
Uh, Mom? That's when I was little!
**[10:59] Rio**
Huh... Oh, but when someone passed
Ichika the ball the other day in PE,
**[11:04] Rio**
she caught it with her face.
**[11:04] Rio bg**
Ichika, the ball...
**[11:07] Ichika**
Wait, why are you joining in, Rio?!
**[11:09] Yuriko**
Seriously, Ichika?!
**[11:11] Rio**
And the other day,
**[11:11] Ichika**
Just stop already!
**[11:11] Rio**
she had no idea she had worn
her shoes on the wrong feet
**[11:12] Ichika**
Just stop already! And wait, why are you
and my mom getting along so well?! Ugh!
**[11:14] Rio**
until our morning classes were over.
**[11:16] Yuriko**
You're just so clumsy.
**[11:19] Rio**
Wow, that was fun.
**[11:21] Rio**
Thanks for today, Ichika.
**[11:23] Ichika**
Rio, about what you were saying earlier...
**[11:26] Ichika**
About Ryo-san and your dad.
**[11:28] Rio**
Ah... yeah. I've been hoping forever
that they'll get along someday.
**[11:34] Ichika**
I see. I guess you would be worried.
**[11:40] Ichika**
Wow, you fall asleep fast!

**[13:14] Kai**
Come on, let's go.
**[13:17] Kawaguchi**
Yeah, yeah.
**[13:18] Kai**
Hey, just so we're clear...
**[13:21] Kai**
I haven't told Arima how I feel yet.
**[13:24] Kai**
I'll tell you when that happens,
so just stay quiet until then.
**[13:28] SFX**
Badump...
**[13:29] Kawaguchi**
*Oh, God. He's so cool.*
**[13:31] Kai**
Anyway, just concentrate
on the game right now.
**[13:33] Kawaguchi**
Oh. Right.
**[13:35] Girls**
You've got this!
**[13:36] Ichika**
It's starting.
**[13:39] Kawaguchi**
Kai!
**[13:41] Yamagishi**
Let's go!
**[13:45] Girl 2**
You've got this!
**[13:45] Girl 3**
Go!
**[13:45] Girl 4**
Kawaguchi!
**[13:51] Girl 2**
Huh?
**[13:51] Girl 3**
Um...
**[14:01] Girls**
*Um...*
**[14:03] Ruri**
Tamaru-kun looks amazing out there.
**[14:05] Girls**
Right?!
**[14:07] Girl 3**
I never thought he'd be good
at sports. I'm sorta shocked.
**[14:11] Girl 4**
Tamaru's gonna be even more popular now.
**[14:14] Girl 1**
Ichika, did you know Tamaru was good at soccer?
**[14:17] Ichika**
Huh? Why are you asking me?
**[14:19] Girl 2**
Well, you guys are close, right?
**[14:21] Ichika**
No... I had no idea.
**[14:26] Boys**
Yeah!
**[14:27] Kawaguchi**
Way to go, Kai!
**[14:29] Ichika**
*Tamaru-kun really does look cool out there.*
**[14:32] Ruri**
Hey, Ichika.
**[14:33] Ruri**
You might have more rivals
after the tournament today.
**[14:38] Ichika**
Rivals? Huh? For what?
**[14:41] Ruri**
You know what I'm talking about.
**[14:43] Ichika**
Wait, wait, wait. There's nothing
going on between me and Tamaru-kun.
**[14:46] Ruri**
Oh, really?
**[14:47] Ichika**
Yes, really!
**[14:51] Ichika**
*She thinks I'm just embarrassed to admit it.*
**[14:57] Ichika**
*I wonder if Ryo-san's good at soccer, too...*
**[14:57] Girl 1**
You've got this! Go! Yeah! Shoot!
**[15:03] Girl 1**
Isn't that great, Ichika?!
**[15:04] Ichika**
Huh? Yeah, it's great.
**[15:07] Girl 2**
They're going to the finals next!
**[15:08] Girl 3**
That's amazing!
**[15:10] Girl 1**
They might even win the whole thing!
**[15:10] Ruri**
They were up against
third-years and still won.
**[15:12] Girl 2**
I know! It's so exciting!
**[15:13] Ichika**
Yeah. I hope they win the whole thing.
**[15:16] Ruri**
Oh, Rio and Satsuki's match is starting soon.
**[15:20] Ichika**
Oh, we should head to the gym.
**[15:23] Ichika**
Okay, we're gonna go cheer
for the basketball team.
**[15:25] Girl 1**
Okay!
**[15:26] Kawaguchi**
What'd you think, Kai?
**[15:27] Kawaguchi**
Did you see that amazing long pass
I did? Aren't I awesome?
**[15:31] Kai**
You passed the ball to me way too much.
**[15:34] Kawaguchi**
I was giving you the spotlight.
**[15:38] Kai**
* I sorta wanted to hear what*
* she thought of the game.*
**[15:58] Ichika and ruri**
They won!
***SIGN*** Meanwhile,
the boys'
soccer team...
**[16:08] Kawaguchi**

Don't forget about me when you're famous.
**[16:23] Ryo**
What the heck?
**[16:29] Arie**
I haven't had a chance to ask
Amakusa about his girlfriend...
**[16:34] Arie**
*That's not surprising, though.*
**[16:35] Arie**
* We're all from different departments,*
* so we're just talking about our departments.*
**[16:35] Work guy 3**
So, yeah, our sales guys...
**[16:37] Work guy 2**
Nah, just wait till you hear...
**[16:40] Arie**
* It would be weird to just*
* ask him out of the blue.*
**[16:44] Jinguji**
Hey, there you are.
**[16:45] Jinguji**
We're thinking about wrapping things
up here and going for round two—
**[16:50] Arie**
Please! Help me out!
**[16:52] Jinguji**
Huh?
**[16:54] Jinguji**
All right.
**[16:55] Jinguji**
That about wraps up round one, so now...
**[16:58] Work guy 1**
What about round two?
**[16:59] Work guy 2**
Yeah, sorry. I'm gonna peace out.
**[17:01] Jinguji**
Yeah, yeah. Better hurry home, you newlywed.
**[17:04] Work guy 3**
Oh, right. He is.
**[17:04] Jinguji**
Shoo, shoo. Shoo, shoo.
**[17:06] Work guy 2**
Could you sound any more bitter?
**[17:06] Work guy 1**
Damn newlywed.
**[17:08] Jinguji**
So...
**[17:09] Jinguji**
You guys are coming to karaoke with me.
**[17:13] ---**
You're coming and that's that! Now walk!
**[17:18] Jinguji**
Amakusa!
**[17:20] Jinguji**
I think Arrietty wants to drink
a bit more, so keep her company.
**[17:24] Jinguji**
Okay, then!
**[17:26] Jinguji**
Come on! Let's go!
**[17:27] Work guy 3**
Ugh, honestly, you drunks.
**[17:31] ---**
Say, Amakusa...
**[17:33] Arie**
There's a bar nearby that I wanted to visit.
**[17:37] Arie**
Why don't we have a few more drinks there?
It's sorta hard for me to go alone.
**[17:43] Ryo**
Yeah, sure. Let's go.
**[17:46] Arie**
Okay.
**[17:47] Arie**
*Yes!*
**[17:48] Ryo**
By the way, I've been wondering...
Is "Arrietty" your nickname?
**[17:53] Arie**
Yeah. My name's Arie, so my friends
and coworkers call me that.
**[17:57] Ryo**
Ah, I see.
**[17:59] Arie**
* I-It's super embarrassing*
* having to explain my nickname!*
***SIGN*** Matsushima
It worked out!!
Thanks!
I'll treat you to lunch soon!
**[18:07] Jinguji**
Hell yeah!
**[18:12] Ryo**
So that sound we heard at the meeting was
the section chief's stomach growling?
**[18:16] Arie**
Yeah. I was sitting next to
him, so it was super loud.
**[18:23] Ryo**
It echoed through the whole meeting room.
**[18:26] Arie**
You were at a loss for
words for a sec, Amakusa.
**[18:29] Ryo**
Well, you were laughing, too. I remember
the papers you were holding were shaking.
**[18:34] Arie**
I guess you caught me.
**[18:37] Arie**
So, hey. Sorry to change the subject, but...
**[18:40] Ryo**
What's up?
**[18:41] Arie**
I'm just gonna come out and ask.
**[18:44] Arie**
Are the rumors about your girlfriend true?
**[18:47] Ryo**
Rumors about my girlfriend?
**[18:49] Arie**
Y-You know. Something about her being
older and a teacher... or something.
**[18:54] Ryo**
Oh, that. How did that rumor even start?
**[19:00] Arie**
*Wait, he's smiling?*
**[19:01] Arie**
*Wh-What's that mean?*
**[19:05] Ryo**
I don't have a girlfriend like that.
**[19:08] Arie**
Oh, really?
**[19:10] Ryo**
That rumor seemed to start out of nowhere.
**[19:14] Ryo**
No one ever asked me about it,
so I didn't say anything.
**[19:16] Arie**
I see...
***SIGN*** Hm?
***SIGN*** Basically the reason
the rumor spread
**[19:20] Arie**
So do you have a girlfriend right now?
**[19:22] Ryo**
Nah.
**[19:23] Arie**
*He doesn't have one.*
**[19:24] Arie**
*Meaning... he's single!*
**[19:26] Arie**
* Wait a sec! I think I can*
* actually get my hopes up.*
**[19:29] Ryo**
I do have a crush, though.
**[19:34] Arie**
A crush?
**[19:35] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[19:36] Arie**
Oh... Huh. I see.
**[19:40] Arie**
Just going out on a limb here...
**[19:43] Arie**
but is this person you know
who likes anime... your crush?
**[19:47] Ryo**
Well, aren't you sharp?
**[19:49] Ryo**
Yup, you're correct.
**[19:51] Ryo**
Oh, despite how I got into anime,
I do actually like it now.
**[19:55] Arie**
It's okay. I didn't doubt that.
**[19:58] Ryo**
It's just...
**[20:00] Ryo**
Whenever she talks about anime,
she looks a lot like you, Matsushima.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Arie**

**[20:07] (Flashback) Ichika**

edition Blu-ray?! Wait, why?!
**[20:11] Arie**
Huh...
**[20:13] Arie**
*I don't think I want to hear the rest.*
**[20:15] (Flashback) Ryo**
I do have a crush, though.
**[20:18] Arie**
*Hm? A crush?*
**[20:22] Arie**
Hey, sorry to pry, but this is basically
unrequited love on your part, right?
**[20:27] Ryo**
Yeah, it is.
**[20:32] Ryo**
What?
**[20:32] Arie**
*Then...*
**[20:33] Arie**
*Then I think I still have a chance.*
**[20:36] Arie**
*We're sorta alike, right? In that case...*
**[20:36] Ryo bg**
What's wrong? What did
you want to drink next?
**[20:38] Arie**
*That means I still have a chance, right?!*
**[20:43] Arie**
*Right?!*
**[20:46] Ryo**
You had quite a bit to drink,
but you seem totally fine.
**[20:49] Arie**
Yeah, I can handle my liquor pretty well.
**[20:53] Ryo**
Hey, thanks for inviting me out tonight.
**[20:55] Arie**
Everyone was really happy you came, Amakusa.
**[20:58] Ryo**
Hanging out like that every
now and then is fun.
**[21:01] Arie**
We're probably going to do
it again next month or so.
**[21:03] Arie**
You should come again.
**[21:05] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[21:08] Ryo**
Well, I'm gonna go...
**[21:13] Ryo**
What is it?
**[21:15] Arie**
No, it's nothing.
**[21:21] Arie**
Thanks for walking me to the
station. I'll see you later.
**[21:24] Ryo**
Yeah, later.
**[21:27] (Flashback) Arie**
This is basically unrequited
love on your part, right?
**[21:40] Ryo**
Hello, it's Ryo. I'm sorry
to call you so late.
**[21:45] Ryo**
Huh?
**[21:47] Ryo**
I just suddenly wanted to hear your voice.
**[21:53] Ryo**
Just like usual? I guess you could say that.

**[09:43] Arie**
Nope, nope, nope.
**[09:44] Arie**
That's too much for me. I can't.
**[09:48] Arie**
*But you know...*
***SIGN*** Forward World X
***SIGN*** Encounters, Goodbyes,

**[09:50] Arie**
*That really was a rare occurrence today.*
**[09:53] Arie**
* To think that I'd start*
* talking about my fave to*
**[09:55] Arie**
*another girl I ran into coincidentally.*
**[09:59] Arie**
* And it was so much fun because she*
* gets excited in the same way I do.*
**[10:05] (Flashback) Ryo**
Whenever she talks about anime,
she looks a lot like you, Matsushima.
**[10:12] Arie**
Nah, it couldn't be.
**[10:16] Ryo**
I'm home.
**[10:25] Mom**
Welcome back, Ryo.
**[10:27] Ryo**
Thanks, Mom. So you're home.
**[10:30] Mom**
Yeah, I just got back a little while ago.
I finished work earlier than expected.
**[10:36] Rio**
I'll get dinner ready.
**[10:38] Mom**
Thanks!
**[10:40] Mom**
Oh, I heard from your father, by the way.
**[10:44] Mom**
He said he'd probably be
able to come home soon.
**[10:48] Rio**
Ah...

**[11:21] Ryo**
*Good evening, Ichika-san.*
**[11:23] Ichika**
Good evening.
**[11:25] Ryo**
Did you buy the newest
volume of *Forward World*?
**[11:29] Ichika**
*Of course! And I already read it.*
**[11:32] Ichika**
You just happened to interrupt
while I was soaking it all in.
**[11:38] Ryo**
Well, I hope you'll soak
in my voice, as well.
**[11:42] Ryo**
I must say, you're quite
a fast reader, Ichika-san.

**[11:45] Ryo**
I'm still reading through it.
**[11:47] Ichika**
I'm the type that reads it all at once
and then goes back through again.
**[11:51] Ichika**
Oh, yeah. I happened to bond
over Toho with this girl
**[11:54] Ichika**
I'd never met before when
I was buying the book.
**[11:57] Ichika**
*I ended up talking to her without thinking.*
**[11:59] Ichika**
*She seemed like the mature yet cute type.*
**[12:03] Ryo**
That sounds like a lovely encounter.
**[12:05] Ryo**
I also ran into someone I
knew when I bought the book.
**[12:09] Ryo**
We had a nice chat about the things we like.
**[12:14] Ichika**
Wow. I guess today was
just a day for encounters.
***SIGN*** I just
felt a chill...
**[12:18] Ryo**
Truly.
**[12:20] Ryo**
But you should've invited me if you
were going to buy the new volume.
**[12:24] Ryo**
I would have loved to go with—
**[12:25] Ichika**
*The thought didn't even cross my mind.*
***SIGN*** Valentine's Day
**[12:29] Ryo**
Ah, so I should've invited you, then.
**[12:32] Ichika**
*Ugh, of course you'd say that.*
**[12:35] Ryo**
By the way, Ichika-san...
**[12:37] Ryo**
*Do you know what day is coming up soon?*

**[12:55] Rio**
Hey, Ichika. Want me to guess
why you're so troubled?
**[13:00] Ichika**
Go right ahead.
**[13:01] Rio**
You're debating what to do for
my brother's Valentine's Day gift.
**[13:05] Ichika**
Yes. You are absolutely correct.
**[13:08] Ichika**
Ryo-san's been calling me
every day lately, and...
**[13:12] Rio**
Yeah?
**[13:15] Ryo**
*Only nine more days until Valentine's!*
**[13:18] Ryo**
*Only eight more days until Valentine's!*
**[13:21] Ryo**
*Only seven more days until Valentine's!*
**[13:24] Ichika**
He's actually counting down!
**[13:26] Rio**
Yikes. How annoying.
**[13:28] Ichika**
He's basically saying, "I'm looking
forward to something. Gimme."
**[13:31] Ichika**
I'm terrified to think what would
happen if I didn't give him anything.
**[13:35] Rio**
So you're saying you're going
to give him chocolate, right?
**[13:40] Ichika**
Yeah... I guess.
**[13:44] Ichika**
I know it's just chocolate, but what
kind of chocolate do older guys like?
**[13:49] Ichika**
Does he want some from a famous
shop... or something simpler?
**[13:54] Rio**
Seriously, I keep saying this,
**[13:57] Rio**
but I'm sure he'll be thrilled
with anything he gets from you.
**[14:01] Rio**
It doesn't matter if he's an adult.
**[14:03] Ichika**
It's easy for you to say that,
**[14:06] Ichika**
but if I'm getting him something,
I want him to really be happy about it.
**[14:11] Ichika**
I dunno... I just want
to really think about it.
**[14:16] Rio**
Doesn't that mean you're...
**[14:20] Rio**
Well, whatever. I gotta head to my club.
**[14:23] Ichika**
Hey, Rio. What kind of
chocolate does Ryo-san like?
**[14:26] Rio**
No idea. I've never talked
to him about Valentine's Day.
**[14:31] Ichika**
But you gave me advice
for his Christmas gift!
**[14:35] Rio**
That was a one-time-only winter special.
**[14:37] Rio**
That deal has come and gone.
**[14:39] Ichika**
No way...
**[14:41] Rio**
Besides, this Valentine's Day
is between you and my brother.
**[14:48] Ichika**
Are you giving anyone a Valentine, Rio?
**[14:53] Rio**
I'm only on the receiving end.
**[14:58] Ichika**
*Seriously, what should I do?*
**[15:02] Ichika**
* I've never actually given*
* anyone a Valentine before,*
**[15:06] Ichika**
* so I have no idea what kind*
* of chocolate to get him.*
**[15:09] Ichika**
* Then again, Ryo-san's not*
* actually my valentine,*
**[15:13] Ichika**
* and he's basically coercing*
* me into getting him one...*
**[15:17] Masuda**
Hey, hey.
**[15:19] Masuda**
On your way home?
**[15:21] Masuda**
Want to grab some tea with me? JK.
**[15:25] Ichika**
Masuda-san.
**[15:26] Ichika**
For a moment, I thought you
were some kind of creeper.
**[15:29] Masuda**
A creeper?! I'm just an upstanding citizen
who happens to be a little playful!
**[15:36] Ichika**
You came from my school. Were you working?
**[15:40] Masuda**
Yup. Just finished having a meeting
about shooting the graduation ceremony.
**[15:44] Masuda**
I'm gonna be helping out again.
**[15:47] Masuda**
Say, Ichika-chan, are you hungry?
**[15:50] Ichika**
A little bit...
**[15:52] Masuda**
Then let's go get tea for real.
***SIGN*** Okonomiyaki
**[15:57] Masuda**
Man, I'm starving! Down the hatch!
**[16:01] Ichika**
Masuda-san, this isn't really
tea. It's pretty much food.
**[16:05] Masuda**
Hey, don't worry about the minor details.
**[16:14] Masuda**
Here you go.
**[16:19] Ichika**
Thanks...
**[16:20] Masuda**
Hey, don't tell Ryo about today!
**[16:23] Masuda**
If he finds out I had lunch with
you alone, he'll wring my neck!
**[16:29] Ichika**
Wring...
***SIGN*** You've
got
guts...
***SIGN*** Oh? You had lunch
with Ichika-san?
**[16:30] Masuda**
I wouldn't put it past him.
**[16:31] Ryo**
* Lunch with Ichika-san...*
* Lunch with Ichika-san...*
**[16:32] Ichika**
True...
**[16:36] Masuda**
Well? Like it?
**[16:37] Ichika**
Yes, it's great.
**[16:40] Masuda**
Whew, good. Your forehead
wrinkles finally disappeared.
**[16:44] Ichika**
D-Did I look that intense?
**[16:47] Masuda**
You looked really deep in thought.
**[16:50] Ichika**
* I guess he was worried about me.*
* Masuda-san is pretty mature after all.*
**[16:54] Masuda**
Maybe I'll get some yakisoba, too.
**[16:58] Masuda**
A limited-edition Valentine's Day dessert?
**[17:01] Masuda**
Could it be you were deep in thought
about Valentine's Day, Ichika-chan?
**[17:06] Masuda**
Whoa! Are you okay?
**[17:08] Masuda**
Here's some water.
**[17:13] Ichika**
*How can everyone tell?*
**[17:15] Ichika**
*Is it just showing on my face?*
**[17:17] Ichika**
Yes...
**[17:19] Masuda**
I see. Valentine's, huh?
**[17:22] Masuda**
Oh, how sweet. Bittersweet like chocolate.
**[17:25] Ichika**
Like chocolate?
**[17:26] Masuda**
So...
**[17:27] Masuda**
are you getting Ryo something?!
**[17:28] Ichika**
I-I plan to... Even though I don't want to.
**[17:32] Masuda**
Yeah, that's definitely
what I expected to hear.
**[17:34] Ichika**
But I don't know exactly what to get him.
**[17:38] Masuda**
Ah, so that's it.
**[17:40] Ichika**
Yes.
**[17:41] Masuda**
I see.
**[17:43] Masuda**
Well, for Ryo, you might want to get
something that's not chocolate.
**[17:47] Ichika**
Huh?
**[17:48] Masuda**
He's super popular, so he got endless
amounts of chocolate when he was in school.
**[17:53] Ichika**
I figured.
**[17:54] Masuda**
And when were in our second year of
middle school, on Valentine's Day,
**[17:57] Masuda**
I'm not sure if someone had a grudge or what,
**[18:00] Masuda**
but one of the chocolates he
got had a clump of hair in it.
**[18:06] Ichika**
What?!
**[18:07] Masuda**
I happened to be there when it happened,
and it seemed to cause him some trauma.
**[18:14] Masuda**
Ever since then, he hasn't accepted
Valentine's chocolates from anyone.
**[18:19] Masuda**
If they were from someone anonymous,
he just threw them away.
**[18:22] Ichika**
Does Rio know about that?
**[18:26] Masuda**
He asked me not to tell anyone, so he
probably hasn't told Rio-chan, either.
**[18:30] Masuda**
Wait! Don't tell Ryo or
Rio-chan that I told you this!
**[18:34] Masuda**
Please!
***SIGN*** Everything about
today is a secret!
**[18:35] Ichika**
You got it.
**[18:37] Masuda**
And it's been ten years since then,
so I'm not sure how he is now.
**[18:42] Ichika**
Um... So what was Ryo-san
like as a teenager?
**[18:47] Masuda**
Curious?
**[18:48] Ichika**
Oh, no! I didn't mean for it
to sound deep or anything.
**[18:51] Masuda**
Well, let's see... In high school,
**[18:55] Masuda**
Ryo didn't try to fit in or hang
out with the class or anything.
**[18:59] Masuda**
I figured he was a good guy,
so I hung out with him.
**[19:03] Masuda**
But there were other guys who complained,
saying he wasn't much of a team player.
**[19:10] Masuda**
And he stood out even more in a bad way
because he was super popular with the girls.
**[19:17] Masuda**
But we had a reunion recently,
**[19:20] Masuda**
and our classmates we hadn't seen
in forever saw Ryo and said,
**[19:24] Masuda**
"Wow, he's changed! He's way more friendly!"
**[19:27] Masuda**
And I'm sure one thing that made him
that way was meeting you, Ichika-chan.
**[19:32] Ichika**
Huh?!
**[19:33] Masuda**
Man, the power of love is
just amazing sometimes!
**[19:37] Masuda**
In a good way and in a bad
way, man, I'm really sorry...
**[19:41] Ichika**
It's okay.
**[19:42] Masuda**
I know I said a lot, but to be honest,
**[19:44] Masuda**
I'm sure Ryo would be happy to get
anything from you, even chocolate.
**[19:48] Ichika**
Rio told me the same thing.
**[19:51] Masuda**
Did I end up confusing you even more? Sorry.
**[19:54] Ichika**
Oh, no. I'm glad I got your opinion.
**[19:57] Ichika**
I could tell that you wanted Ryo-san
to have a nice Valentine's Day.
**[20:03] Masuda**
When you say it like that,
it's super embarrassing! Please stop!
**[20:09] Ichika**
*He's actually embarrassed.*
***SIGN*** Okonomiyaki
**[20:10] Masuda**
By the way, I absolutely love chocolate,
so wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
**[20:15] Masuda**
Wait, did you just laugh it off?
**[20:20] Ichika**
*Something that's not chocolate...*
***SIGN*** Chocolate
**[20:24] Ichika**
* If he has memories like that, it's probably*
* better that I don't get him food.*
**[20:30] Ichika**
*A plushie?*
**[20:32] Ichika**
*He wouldn't want that...*
***SIGN*** Forward World X
**[20:34] Ichika**
*A book?*
**[20:35] Ichika**
*But it'd be so hard to pick the right one...*
**[20:38] Ichika**
*A tie clip? I just got him one.*
**[20:42] Ichika**
* I wonder if I'd know what would make*
* Ryo-san happy if I were more mature...*
**[20:48] Ichika**
*Maybe it shouldn't be a thing, but...*
**[20:51] Ichika**
An action...
**[20:58] Ichika**
* Hang on a second! What the*
* heck was I just thinking?!*
**[21:00] Ichika**
* Nope, nope, nope!*
* Not happening, no way! What?!*
**[21:02] Ichika**
* Am I really thinking that'd*
* make Ryo-san happy?!*
**[21:05] Ichika**
* I'm getting way too full of myself!*
* What's wrong with me?*
**[21:08] Ichika**
*I've been so weird ever since I met Ryo-san!*
**[21:11] Ichika**
*Ugh...*
**[21:21] Ichika**
Just five more days...
***SIGN*** Ryo-san
**[21:25] Ichika**

is between you and my brother.
**[21:33] (Flashback) Masuda**
Well, for Ryo, you might want to get
something that's not chocolate.
**[21:41] Ichika**
Hello?
**[21:42] Ryo**
*Ichika-san, good evening! It is I, Ryo!*
**[21:44] Ichika**
Yes, I'm aware of that.
**[21:46] Ryo**
*Well, I'm honored.*
**[21:48] Ryo**
Only five more days until Valentine's—
**[21:50] Ichika**
Ryo-san.
**[21:52] Ichika**
I'm going to head over there
the morning of the 14th,
**[21:55] Ichika**
so could you make some time for

**[02:30] Ryo**
but the neighbors would think I'm

**[02:51] Ryo**
Hello!
**[02:54] Ichika**
G-Good morning...
**[02:57] Ryo**
Good morning.
**[03:00] Ryo**
Ichika-san, you look a bit pale.
**[03:03] Ichika**
I just didn't get much sleep.
**[03:05] Ryo**
Er, well, come in.
**[03:10] Ryo**
Would you like to sit down for a bit?
**[03:12] Ichika**
No.
**[03:13] Ryo**
You could lie down on the sofa.
**[03:15] Ichika**
No, really. I'm fine.
**[03:18] Ichika**
I-I came over today to give
you a Valentine's Day gift...
**[03:25] Ichika**
Uh, what's with the hands?
**[03:28] Ryo**
Ready to accept my chocolate at any time.
**[03:30] Ichika**
You're so annoying, it's almost refreshing.
**[03:34] Ichika**
I'm not here to give you chocolate.
**[03:37] Ichika**
I spent a few days trying to
figure out what to give you.
**[03:40] Ichika**
I kept thinking... and before I
knew it, it was Valentine's Day.
**[03:46] Ichika**
I know I'm going to regret it...
**[03:49] Ichika**
but I'm going to do it.
**[03:55] Ichika**
This is what I decided to do!
**[04:05] Ichika**
There! That's my Valentine's Day gift to you!
**[04:08] Ichika**
I tried to avoid chocolates,
and this is what happened!
**[04:12] Ichika**
I will not be taking any thoughts
or comments on this matter, ever!
**[04:15] Ichika**
Now, if you'll excuse me!
**[04:22] Rio**
Oh, did Ichika leave?
**[04:25] Rio**
I was gonna go to school with her—
**[04:29] Rio**
What are you doing?
**[04:32] Rio**
Did she tackle you?
**[04:35] Ryo**
She gave me something far more destructive.
**[04:39] Rio**
Well, judging by your reaction,
**[04:41] Rio**
it must've made you really happy.
**[04:43] Ryo**
It did.
**[04:49] Ryo**
She's so cute...
**[04:53] Rio**
Anyway, I'm heading out,
so make sure you lock the door.
**[04:53] Ryo**
She's so cute...
**[05:00] Ryo**
* She seemed pretty adamant*
* about not giving me chocolate.*
**[05:03] Ryo**
*Masuda must've said something to her.*
**[05:17] Ryo**
It only took a second for me to completely
change my opinion about Valentine's.
**[05:26] Ichika**
I'm so sorry, Rio.
**[05:28] Ichika**
We should've just walked to school together.
**[05:30] Rio**
Don't worry about it.
**[05:32] Rio**
By the way, my brother seemed pretty happy.
**[05:35] Rio**
He was writhing by the front door.
**[05:38] Ichika**
I... I see...
**[05:40] Rio**
Why is your speech so stilted?
**[05:42] Ichika**
I'm going to die from embarrassment
just thinking about it.
**[05:45] Ichika**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:46] Ichika**
Here, Rio. Your BFF chocolate.
**[05:49] Rio**
Oh, sweet. Thanks.
**[05:49] Yamagishi**
My mom's snoring is insane.
**[05:52] Yamagishi**
I can hear her next door.
She's so frickin' loud.
**[05:53] Ichika**
Ru-chan, Sacchan, here!
**[05:55] Rui**
Wow, thanks.
**[05:57] Satsuki**
Yay!
**[05:57] Yamagishi**
I couldn't sleep at all yesterday.
**[05:58] Yamagishi**
Here.
**[06:00] Rui**
And here's one from me.
**[06:02] Ichika**
Wow, this looks so good. Did you make these?
**[06:02] Yamagishi**
The girls seem to be having fun.
**[06:04] Satsuki**
And here.
**[06:06] Rio**
The packaging is so cute!
**[06:06] Rio**
It looks delicious.
**[06:08] Satsuki**
Right? The chocolates inside
are super cute, too.
**[06:09] Satsuki**
So cute!
**[06:13] Yamagishi**

**[06:33] Kai**
No!
**[06:34] Yamagishi**
Come on! Show me!
**[06:42] Ichika**
Sorry to ask you to meet with me at lunch.
**[06:45] Ichika**
I thought about giving it to you in class,
**[06:48] Ichika**
but I thought you might not like that.
**[06:51] Ichika**
It's also to thank you for
letting me borrow the books,
**[06:55] Ichika**
but I hope you enjoy them.
**[06:59] Ichika**
Anyway, uh... I'll see you later.
**[07:01] Kai**
Hang on a sec.
**[07:03] Ichika**
Oh, do you not like chocolate?
**[07:06] Kai**
No, that's not it.
**[07:10] Kai**
You're giving this to
me as a friend... right?
**[07:14] Ichika**
I, uh...
**[07:17] Girl A**
Really?
**[07:19] Girl B**
It's a secret, so don't
go blabbing it to people.
**[07:23] Girl A**
Yeah, yeah.
**[07:24] Girl B**
Wow, that was reassuring.
**[07:26] Girl B**
You're probably going to tell someone.
**[07:28] Girl A**
Don't worry.
**[07:30] Ichika**
U-Um...
**[07:32] Kai**
If I said I would've preferred something only
for me rather than something obligatory...
**[07:37] Kai**
would you get mad?
**[07:38] Ichika**
I, uh... Does that mean...
**[07:43] Kai**
What I'm getting at is...
**[07:45] Kai**
I want you to go out with me.
**[07:51] Ichika**
U-Um... I...
**[07:54] Ichika**
I've never looked at you
in that way... so, um...
**[07:59] Kai**
Then could you start?
**[08:02] Kai**
Think it over, okay?
**[08:06] Kai**
You can take your time replying. I'll wait.
**[08:10] Kai**
Anyway, I'm gonna head back to class.
**[08:13] Kai**
Thanks for the chocolates.

Hey, Arrietty, are you listening?
**[08:39] Arie**
Huh? No, sorry. I wasn't.
**[08:42] Kakihara**
Again... Acting Section Chief Amakusa
won't accept chocolate from anyone.
**[08:48] Arie**
Huh? Wait, seriously?
**[08:49] Kakihara**
Yeah.
**[08:50] Kakihara**
Last year, one of the newer girls tried to
give him chocolate, and he wouldn't take it.
**[08:55] Kakihara**
This year, another girl tried
and the same thing happened,
**[08:59] Kakihara**
so this rumor's definitely true.
**[09:01] Arie**
I-I see...
**[09:03] Kakihara**
Surprising, right?
**[09:05] Kakihara**
I always figured he was
drowning in valentines.
**[09:10] Kakihara**
Maybe he doesn't like chocolate.
**[09:12] Arie**
Yeah, I'm not sure.
**[09:14] Arie**
*H-He won't take them?*
**[09:17] Arie**
*I've never heard this before!*
**[09:20] Kakihara**
Wait, Arrietty...
**[09:22] Kakihara**
Were you planning to give him chocolate?
**[09:25] Arie**
Huh?! N-No way!
**[09:29] Kakihara**
Yeah, of course not.
**[09:30] Arie**
* Maybe I'll just take this*
* chocolate back home with me...*
**[09:34] Kakihara**
So I went to this dessert

**[09:44] Arie**
* I want Amakusa to know*

**[09:46] Kakihara**
The plates were fancy, too.
**[09:48] Kakihara**
So colorful and pretty.
**[09:48] Arie**
* Wait. Maybe he'll accept something*
* that's not chocolate.*
**[09:50] Kakihara**
Let's go together sometime!
Nothing beats enjoying sweets.
**[09:53] Arie**

Come on! Hurry!
**[10:10] Arie**
*I never got to give it to him...*

*On top of all the meetings,*
**[10:14] Arie**
* I had a bunch of routine*

**[10:19] Arie**
* I totally lost sight of Amakusa*
* while I was doing overtime.*
**[10:24] Arie**
* Looks like I got all worked up*
* for nothing this Valentine's.*
**[10:31] Arie**
*That height and figure...*
**[10:34] Arie**
*Is that... Amakusa?!*
**[10:36] Arie**
*W-Wait a sec!*

Wait!
**[11:04] Arie**
C-Come this way.
**[11:07] Arie**
It'll just take a sec!
**[11:14] Arie**
Here. Valentine's Day chocolate.
**[11:17] Arie**
I really wanted to give it to you.
**[11:19] Arie**
I-I heard you don't accept chocolate,
**[11:22] Arie**
so I thought about trying to
get you something else, but...
**[11:25] Arie**
Sorry! I just didn't have any time!
**[11:28] Arie**
So I wanted to give this to you,
even if you rejected it...
**[11:32] Arie**
But I just couldn't get to you at all today.
**[11:35] Arie**
And then this... Ugh! I can't
keep my thoughts straight!
**[11:44] Ryo**
Thanks for running over to give me these.

**[13:32] Rio**
Fine.
**[13:39] Rio**
Ichika's been acting weird ever
since lunch on Valentine's Day.
**[13:45] Rio**
When I ask her if anything happened,
she just brushes it off and won't tell me.
**[13:51] Rio**
I figured you might know something.
**[13:55] Kai**
I guess you could say that.
**[13:58] Kai**
I'm actually probably the reason.
**[14:00] Kai**
Because I asked Arima out.
**[14:04] Rio**
I knew it.
**[14:05] Kai**
I mean...
**[14:06] Kai**
You called me out here because
you figured that's what it was.
**[14:09] Rio**
Yeah.
**[14:12] Rio**
Huh...
**[14:14] Rio**
You even said that wasn't
how you felt before.
**[14:18] Kai**
I wasn't sure how I felt back then!
**[14:21] Kai**
But now...
**[14:28] Kai**
I know how I feel.
**[14:32] Kai**
That's why I asked her out.
**[14:35] Rio**
I see.
**[14:39] Kai**
Hey, Amakusa.
**[14:41] Kai**
Did you ask me this because
you're worried about Arima?
**[14:45] Rio**
Yeah, why?
**[14:47] Rio**
What are you getting at?
**[14:49] Kai**
Then I'll just be honest here.
From my perspective,
**[14:53] Kai**
you're a busybody, Amakusa.
**[14:56] Rio**
What? I was just worried because
Ichika was acting weird.
**[15:02] Rio**
She usually tells me everything,
but this time...
**[15:05] Kai**
Amakusa...
**[15:08] Kai**
Maybe you're lonely.
**[15:26] Kai**
Me asking Amakusa out has
nothing to do with you.
**[15:31] Rio**
It doesn't...
**[15:34] Rio**
does it?
**[15:38] Rio**
Yeah... You're right.
**[15:43] Rio**
Whatever Ichika decides to do is up to her,
**[15:46] Rio**
so it technically doesn't concern me.
**[15:50] Kai**
Maybe you should just be there for her
when Arima actually asks for help.
**[15:56] Rio**
You're surprisingly blunt, Tamaru.
**[16:00] Kai**
Not as blunt as you.
**[16:03] Rio**
Then I guess you're going to end
up being my brother's rival.
**[16:06] Kai**
Yeah.

**[16:32] Ryo**
*Ichika-san?*
**[16:34] Ichika**
Oh, sorry. Um...
**[16:37] Ryo**
We were talking about the gym
class you mentioned yesterday.
**[16:41] Ryo**
You were playing basketball today, right?
**[16:43] Ichika**
* Oh, yeah. Rio and I ended up*
* on different teams today.*
**[16:47] Ichika**
*I could barely keep up...*
**[16:52] Ichika**
Well... Goodnight.
**[17:03] Ichika**
* Tamaru-kun is nice, cool,*
* and probably a good person.*
**[17:09] Ichika**
* And we'd be able to talk about the*
* things we like and even trivial things.*
**[17:14] Ichika**
*Of course, I don't dislike him.*
**[17:17] Ichika**
*Honestly, I'm happy he asked me out.*
**[17:22] Ichika**
*But... I don't think I like him that way.*
**[17:28] Ichika**
*Is it because I see him as a friend?*
**[17:35] Ichika**
*Or... is the person I like...*
**[17:45] Ichika**
Are you stalking me again?
**[17:47] Ryo**
You haven't sounded like yourself
on the phone these past few days...
**[17:51] Ryo**
I was worried, so I came to check on you.
**[17:53] Ichika**
Okay, but could you not wait
for me near the school?
**[17:57] Ryo**
Sorry, I was so worried,
I couldn't help myself.
**[18:02] Ryo**
Is something bothering you?
**[18:05] Ryo**
I'd be more than happy to listen.
**[18:07] Ichika**
*Listen, huh?*
**[18:09] Ichika**
* I wonder if Ryo-san's ever been asked out*
* by someone he considered a friend.*
**[18:17] Ichika**
*No... I'd rather not know.*
**[18:21] Ichika**
No, I'm fine.
**[18:23] Ichika**
I appreciate the concern.
**[18:26] Ryo**
Well, it's usually easier to process
anything bothering you if you verbalize it.
**[18:31] Ryo**
And it might be something
I can help you with.
**[18:35] Ichika**
Really, I'm fine.
**[18:37] Ryo**
But—
**[18:38] Ichika**
Ryo-san!
**[18:40] Ichika**
Could you just stop?!
**[18:42] Ichika**
Yes, I have something on my mind,
**[18:44] Ichika**
but can't you take the hint
that I don't want to tell you?
**[18:47] Ichika**
You're always like this!
**[18:49] Sign**
Residential vehicles
are exempt
**[18:50] Ichika**
You always ignore how I feel,
and it's always one-sided...
**[18:54] Ichika**
And...
**[18:56] Ichika**
This is my problem,
so it doesn't concern you.
**[19:02] Ryo**
And I can't accept that.
**[19:04] Ichika**
This is what I meant about
everything being one-sided!
**[19:08] Ryo**
It's true that I don't often
listen to what you have to say,
**[19:14] Ryo**
but at least let me worry about you!
**[19:17] Ryo**
No, that's just a front.
**[19:20] Ryo**
I want your problems to be mine, Ichika-san.
**[19:27] Ichika**
Why... are you so unreasonable?
**[19:31] Ryo**
Because I love you, Ichika-san.
**[19:40] Ichika**
You're like some pushy
door-to-door salesman.
**[19:43] Ryo**
That's quite the analogy.
**[19:48] Ichika**
Sorry, I was a bit harsh.
**[19:50] Ryo**
And I sounded a bit harsh myself.
**[19:54] Ryo**
But I hope you understand that
**[19:57] Ryo**
I'm not lying or joking.
**[20:00] Ichika**
This is a problem that I need
to figure out on my own,
**[20:05] Ichika**
so could you just watch and wait?
**[20:14] Ryo**
Okay.
**[20:26] Ichika**
Um... Could you move your hand already?
**[20:31] Ryo**
I can't. Love's pull is just too powerful!
**[20:42] Ichika**
* The reason I can't move*
* forward with Tamaru-kun...*
**[20:46] Ichika**
*really is because of him.*
**[20:52] Ichika**
* He's so one-sided, selfish,*
* and annoyingly flashy.*
**[20:57] Ichika**
* He's illogical, and he doesn't*
* care much about others.*
**[21:00] Ichika**
*He's always extra in everything he does...*
**[21:04] Ichika**
* And he tries to justify*
* everything with "love."*
**[21:09] Ichika**
*We're so far apart in age...*
**[21:13] Ichika**
*And he's a bad adult...*
**[21:15] Ichika**
*I think all of this is true...*
**[21:19] Ichika**
* but whenever I think of the word*
* "love," I end up thinking of him.*
**[21:25] Ryo**
Is something the matter? You've stopped.
**[21:28] Ichika**
It's nothing.
**[21:32] Ichika**
*I can't fall for him, though.*
**[21:34] Ichika**
* Logically, I know that Tamaru-kun*
* would be better for me.*
**[21:39] Ichika**
*Ugh, I'm such an idiot.*
**[21:42] Ichika**
*Seriously.*
**[21:46] Ichika**
* Still, it'd be really rude of me*
* to leave Tamaru-kun hanging,*
**[21:51] Ichika**
*so I need to tell him how I feel,*
**[21:55] Ichika**
* since he told me how he felt so*
* earnestly while looking into my eyes.*

I think it'd be really

**[01:59] Kai**
Thanks...
**[02:01] Ichika**
I was really happy... that you asked me out.
**[02:05] Ichika**
But...
**[02:07] Ichika**
There's someone else that I like.
**[02:10] Ichika**
So...
**[02:11] Ichika**
I can't go out with you.
**[02:18] Kai**
What if I asked you to go out with me
even if you like someone else?
**[02:23] Ichika**
Huh?
**[02:24] Ichika**
I-I can't... do that.
**[02:32] Kai**

**[02:35] Ichika**
It's true that I really
enjoy our time together...
**[02:41] Ichika**
And I want you to continue being my friend.
**[02:47] Ichika**
I'm sorry. I know that's really selfish.
**[02:54] Kai**
It'd be worse if you avoided me from now on.
**[03:02] Kai**
I'll lend you some more books soon.
**[03:05] Kai**
Let me know what you think about them.
**[03:09] Ichika**
Thanks.
**[03:14] Kai**
So, hey. Can I be a little selfish, too?
**[03:17] Ichika**
Huh? Sure.
**[03:19] Kai**
Do you mind if I stay in love with you?
**[03:24] Kai**
Until I can sort out my
feelings... Is that okay?
**[03:32] Ichika**
Sure, okay.
**[03:36] Kai**
Good.
**[03:39] Kai**
By the way, your ice cream
is basically just goo now.
**[03:43] Ichika**
Oh, y-you're right!
**[03:49] Kai**
I'll walk you to the gates.
**[03:51] Ichika**

But when you downed the

**[06:17] Ichika**
Yes.
**[06:18] Ryo**
I see.
**[06:20] Ryo**
Wait, you declined? Does that mean you—
**[06:30] Ryo**
*How stupid am I?*
**[06:33] Ryo**
*I'm so immature.*
**[06:36] Kai**
Hello? Kawaguchi?
**[06:39] Kai**
I know this is sudden, but I wanted to keep
my promise from the ball game tournament.
**[06:45] Kai**
I told you that I'd tell you.
**[06:48] Kai**
I asked Arima out.
**[06:51] Kai**
And I'm on my way home now
because she turned me down.
**[06:56] Kai**
Huh? You want to cheer me up? Yeah, no.
**[07:00] Kai**
Yamagishi's coming, too?
**[07:02] Kai**
Give me a break, guys.
**[07:12] Ryo**
* I've never seen Ichika-san*
* make a face like that.*
**[07:16] (Flashback) Kai**
I think it's even more
immature for you to try
**[07:19] (Flashback) Kai**
to use the fact that you're older against me.
**[07:21] Ryo**
*Oh, I see.*
**[07:24] Ryo**
* I'm frustrated because*
* it wasn't because of me.*

Congratulations,
Everyone
**[09:16] Rio**
Hey, Tamaru, why'd you write
"Graduation Day" so small?
**[09:20] Kai**
I didn't. Your "Congratulations"
is just way too big.
**[09:23] Rio**
What? How else are all the farsighted
people supposed to read it, then?
**[09:27] Rio**
This size shows how much I care.
**[09:29] Kai**
I don't think any of the
graduates are farsighted.
**[09:32] Ichika**
Come on, you two...
***SIGN*** 20 minutes ago—
**[09:35] (Flashback) Teacher**
Arima! Amakusa!
**[09:37] (Flashback) Teacher**
Perfect timing!
**[09:39] (Flashback) Teacher**
If you're free, help me out a bit.
**[09:41] (Flashback) Rio**
That'll all come down to what you
want and what we get in return.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Teacher**
I'll buy you some drinks.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Rio**
If what you need is equivalent
to some drinks, sure.
**[09:49] Ichika**
* Rio's negotiation skills*
* never cease to amaze me.*
**[09:52] (Flashback) Teacher**
Arima, you're in the art club, right?
**[09:55] (Flashback) Ichika**
Yes.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Teacher**
Then you're the perfect candidate.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Teacher**
Oh, hey. Tamaru!
**[09:59] (Flashback) Teacher**
Perfect timing! Would you
mind helping me out, too?
**[10:02] (Flashback) Teacher**
The more the merrier.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Teacher**
Tomorrow's graduation, right?
**[10:07] (Flashback) Teacher**
Could you write some kind of message
in their classrooms to send them off?
**[10:12] (Flashback) Teacher**
Draw a picture or something,
too. Make it good.
**[10:16] (Flashback) Teacher**
Just give me a holler when you're done.
**[10:18] Teacher**
I'm counting on you kids.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Ichika**
Make it good?
**[10:19] (Flashback) Rio**
That's, like, the worst kind of direction...
**[10:22] (Flashback) Ichika**
Um, Tamaru-kun, are you okay with this?
He didn't really give you much of a choice.
**[10:28] (Flashback) Kai**
Nah, I didn't have any plans, so it's fine.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Ichika**
I see. That's good, then.
**[10:34] (Flashback) Kai**
Uh, I can't draw, though.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Ichika**
Oh, that's okay. I'll draw.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Rio**
Well, let's write the message first,
and then decorate it and whatnot.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Rio**
Tamaru, you write "Graduation Day."
I'll write "Congratulations."
**[10:44] (Flashback) Rio**
Then Ichika writes "everyone."
**[10:47] (Flashback) Ichika**
Yeah, sure.
**[10:50] Kai**
You just need to make your
letters smaller, Amakusa.
***SIGN*** And now
**[10:53] Rio**
Actually, I'm pretty sure
your part is crooked.
**[10:55] Rio**
What do you think, Ichika?
**[10:57] Ichika**
Huh?
**[10:58] Ichika**
Um...
**[11:00] Ichika**
I can't say.
**[11:03] Rio**
And by the way, don't think I haven't
noticed you two acting weird.
**[11:08] Rio**
You're not speaking as clearly
as you usually do, Ichika,
**[11:11] Rio**
and Tamaru, you're trying not to look at her.
**[11:14] Rio**
You're being awkward, and it's
making everything else awkward.
**[11:20] Kai**
Arima... Amakusa knows that I asked you out.
**[11:25] Ichika**
Huh?
**[11:25] Ichika**
Wait. Rio, you knew?
**[11:27] Rio**
Well, something seemed to be bothering you,
**[11:31] Rio**
so I asked Tamaru if he knew anything
about that, and he told me.
**[11:35] Ichika**
Oh...
**[11:37] Kai**
And things are awkward right now because
Arima rejected me the other day.
**[11:43] Kai**
I'm not trying to sound bitter or anything.
I'm just telling her what happened.
**[11:47] Ichika**
N-No, it's fine.
**[11:50] Rio**
I see. So that's what happened.
**[11:53] Ichika**
Hey, Rio...
**[11:55] Ichika**
I always talk to you about everything...
**[12:00] Ichika**
but I thought I needed to
figure this out myself,
**[12:04] Ichika**
so I didn't tell you.
**[12:08] Ichika**
I'm sorry.
**[12:09] Rio**
So you were able to come up with
your own answer and tell Tamaru?
**[12:14] Ichika**
Yeah.
**[12:17] Rio**
Then everything's fine.
**[12:19] Ichika**
Rio...
**[12:20] Rio**
It just made me feel kinda lonely
when you wouldn't tell me,
**[12:25] Rio**
so I tried to force you to.
**[12:27] Rio**
I might've been a bit bratty. Sorry about that.
**[12:31] Ichika**
Rio...
**[12:32] Ichika**
You're so cute.
**[12:33] Rio**
Uh, what? That pisses me off somehow.
**[12:36] Ichika**
Sorry, my bad.
**[12:37] Rio**
Actually, I think Tamaru's heart
is hanging on by a thread now.
**[12:43] Kai**
Yeah, just keep pushing that knife deeper.
**[12:45] Ichika**
I-I'm so sorry, Tamaru-kun!
**[12:47] Kai**
It stings even more when you apologize.
**[12:49] Ichika**
I'm sor— No, wait! I mean—
**[12:52] Kai**
I...
**[12:54] Kai**
just didn't know how to act around you,
so this might've been a good chance.
**[12:59] Kai**
Next time things get awkward between us,
let's just laugh and reset a bit, yeah?
**[13:09] Kai**
I really don't want things
to be awkward between us.
**[13:12] Ichika**
Yeah.
**[13:14] Rio**
Well, since that's settled...
**[13:16] Rio**
Tamaru, hurry up and match the size of
"Graduation Day" to "Congratulations."
**[13:21] Kai**
What? Match yours to mine.
**[13:21] Sign**
Menacing
**[13:23] Ichika**
You're still going to argue about this?
**[13:25] Ichika**
You two seem like you've opened up more.
**[13:28] Rio**
No, I just know I don't
need to hold back anymore.
**[13:30] Kai**
Yeah.
**[13:33] Satsuki**
Oh?
**[13:34] Satsuki**
What are you three doing here?
**[13:37] Ichika**
Sacchan, Ru-chan, want to help us?
**[13:39] Ruri**
Help with what?
**[13:41] Rio**
Perfect timing. Let's have them pick
who should change their font size.

Graduation Day
Congratulations, Everyone
**[14:00] Teacher**
Hey, this is great! There seems
to be more of you now, though.
**[14:05] Ruri**
Are you going to buy us drinks, too,
even though we joined in later?
**[14:10] Teacher**
B-But of course.
**[14:11] Satsuki**
Yay!
**[14:13] Teacher**
Next year, it'll be you guys graduating.
**[14:19] Ichika**
Oh, right. We'll be one step
closer to being adults.
**[14:24] Ichika**
Next year, I won't be a high
school student anymore.
**[14:28] Ichika**
I wonder if I'll be more mature by then...
**[14:32] Rio**
What? Getting all sentimental, Ichika?
**[14:34] Ichika**
Actually, I might be.
**[14:37] Teacher**
Arima... You're a year early for that.
**[14:41] Teacher**
Okay, what do you all want to drink?
**[14:43] Rio**
Something fizzy.
**[14:44] Satsuki**
Me, too.
**[14:45] Tamaru**
I'll take coffee.
**[14:46] Ruri**
I'll have tea.
**[14:47] Ichika**
Oh, I'll have some tea, too. Thank you!

Ichika-san,
In regard to your White Day
**[15:19] Ichika**
Hang on a sec.
**[15:20] Ryo**
Yes?
**[15:22] Ichika**
You said this was important.
**[15:25] Ichika**
You seriously can't mean this... do you?
**[15:28] Ryo**
I absolutely do.
**[15:29] Ryo**
Now, if you'll flip to page 3—
**[15:30] Ichika**
And why are you starting some presentation?!
**[15:33] Ryo**
Ichika-san... I've been thinking.
**[15:37] Ryo**
After receiving such a passionate
Valentine's Day present from you,
**[15:41] Ryo**
I need to make your
White Day just as special!
**[15:44] Ichika**
Please, no.
**[15:45] Ryo**
And I tend to do whatever I feel like,
**[15:47] Ryo**
so I thought it'd be a better idea to give
you a presentation and get your feedback.
**[15:51] Ichika**
I'm glad you're realizing your flaws,
**[15:53] Ichika**
but I'm not your superior or client!
**[15:56] Ryo**
Ah, so you prefer surprises!

* I do actually like this guy...*

**[16:15] Ryo**
Why not at least take a look at the document?
**[16:18] Ryo**
I picked up some sweets I figured you'd like.
**[16:22] Ichika**
*Why is this making him look special?*
**[16:25] Ichika**
*I'm not sure why, but this is so aggravating.*

* He's ten years older than me.*

* And in the first place,*

**[16:55] Ryo**
Ichika-san?
**[16:58] Ryo**
Are you all right?
**[17:00] Ichika**
Y-Your face! Your face is too close!
**[17:03] Ryo**
I was worried that you weren't feeling well.
**[17:05] Ichika**
I was just overwhelmed by all
your ridiculous documents!
**[17:08] Ryo**
Perhaps I went too far.
**[17:10] Ichika**
Well, that's nothing new.

Well, you startled me.
**[18:15] Ryo**
Sorry about that. Shall we head in?
**[18:18] Arie**
S-Sure.
**[18:26] Ryo**
I didn't realize it was
just the two of us tonight.
**[18:28] Arie**
Huh?
**[18:29] Ryo**
I figured there'd be a group.
**[18:32] Arie**
Oh, right. Sorry. I didn't
mention it'd be just me.
**[18:38] Arie**
You'd prefer a group?
**[18:39] Ryo**
No, this is fine.
**[18:41] Arie**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[18:43] Arie**
So, today, I was...
**[18:46] Ryo**
Is something on your mind?
**[18:50] Arie**
Sorry, I need to run to the restroom.
**[18:51] Ryo**
Uh, sure.
**[19:01] Arie**
*I thought I was ready for this...*

*But if I have even the slightest chance,*
**[19:12] Arie**
*I want him to know how I feel about him.*
**[19:16] Arie**
I'm back.
**[19:17] Ryo**
I plated some salad for both of us.
**[19:20] Arie**
Thanks.
**[19:25] Ryo**
The dressing here is great. I think
berry sauce is the main ingredient.
**[19:30] Arie**
Amakusa.
**[19:32] Arie**
There's something I want to tell you.
**[19:36] Arie**
Do you mind?
**[19:44] Arie**
A little while back,
you mentioned you had a crush.
**[19:49] Ryo**
Yeah...
**[19:50] Arie**
Do you still have a crush on them?
**[19:54] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[19:57] Arie**
I see.
**[20:00] Arie**
I expected that, but I invited you out tonight
because I wanted to tell you how I felt.
**[20:05] Arie**
Amakusa, I'm in love with you.
**[20:12] Arie**
Wow, I actually said it.
**[20:15] Arie**
Hey, do you mind if I ask
you about your crush?
**[20:18] Ryo**
Huh?
**[20:19] Arie**
I want to work on getting you
to like me, so I want to know.
**[20:23] Arie**
No?
**[20:24] Ryo**
Wow, you just went all
the way for it, didn't you?
**[20:28] Arie**
Well, I told you how I felt, so I figured
I didn't need to hold back anymore.
**[20:36] Ryo**
The girl I'm in love with is
my younger sister's classmate.
**[20:40] Arie**
Classmate? Wait, isn't your
sister in high school?
**[20:46] Ryo**
She is.
**[20:49] Arie**
A high school girl...
**[20:50] Ryo**
Surprised?
**[20:52] Arie**
Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. You said
I reminded you of someone. Is that her?
**[20:58] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[20:59] Ryo**
She was the first person to
actually see through me
**[21:02] Ryo**
after I'd gotten full of myself for so long.
**[21:06] Arie**
I guess she's a good girl.
**[21:07] Ryo**
Yeah, she's sincere.
**[21:11] Arie**
I can tell how much you care for her
just by the way you talk about her.
**[21:15] Ryo**
Yeah?
**[21:17] Arie**
Did you tell her you love her?
**[21:19] Ryo**
Well... Yeah, though it's one-sided.
**[21:22] Ryo**
I want her to know that
I actually care about her,
**[21:25] Ryo**
but I just keep striking out.
**[21:30] Arie**
Hey...
**[21:31] Arie**
I know you can't help that
you fell in love with her,
**[21:34] Arie**
but if you two were actually
going to start dating,
**[21:37] Arie**
wouldn't the age gap make
it tough for both of you?
**[21:42] Arie**
I personally wouldn't want to see the
person that I love suffer or be sad.
**[21:48] Ryo**
Be sad...
**[21:51] (Flashback) Rio**
If you do anything to make Ichika sad,
I won't support you anymore...
**[21:56] (Flashback) Kai**
...but just make sure you don't
do anything to make Arima sad.
**[22:02] Arie**
So...
**[22:11] Arie**
Couldn't it be me?

Matsushima...
**[00:07] Arie**
You accepted my chocolates
on Valentine's Day, right?
**[00:11] Arie**
I heard you didn't take anyone else's.
**[00:14] Ryo**
That's because you came running, and—
**[00:17] Arie**
I know. It'd be hard to
decline in that situation.
**[00:20] Arie**
But you know...
**[00:21] Arie**
It's really not fair to be nice like that.
**[00:24] Arie**
You'll just give me hope.
**[00:31] Arie**
I'm sorry. That wasn't fair of me, either.
**[00:34] Ryo**
It's okay.
**[00:35] Arie**
I kept rambling, too.
**[00:37] Arie**
What an awful confession. I'm sorry.
**[00:41] Ryo**
Why are you apologizing?
**[00:42] Ryo**
Then you're just denying your feelings.
**[00:46] Ryo**
At least let me say thank you.
**[00:52] Arie**
Th-This is exactly what I
mean about you being unfair.
**[00:56] Ryo**
Wait, did I say something wrong again?
**[00:58] Arie**
Oh, God, it's not on purpose.
That's even worse.
**[01:01] Arie**
He's so unfair...
**[01:01] Ryo**
Huh? Wait, what?
**[01:08] Ryo**
*Do I have my apartment key?*
**[01:13] (Flashback) Arie**
Thanks for hearing me out earlier.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Arie**
I basically just told you
how I felt for my own sake.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Arie**
But I'm going to do my best
to get you to like me back.
**[01:24] (Flashback) Arie**
Count on that.
**[01:34] Ryo**
*Count on that, huh?*
**[01:37] Ryo**
* A year ago, I would've accepted*
* Matsushima's confession then and there.*
**[01:47] Ryo**
*But right now...*
**[01:50] Ryo**
*What about Ichika-san?*
**[01:51] Ryo**
* If Ichika-san is suffering or sad*
* because of our age difference...*
**[01:57] Ryo**
*I don't want that.*
**[01:59] Ryo**
*I really don't want that.*
**[02:05] Arie**

It's gonna be super awkward seeing him

**[04:49] Rio**
Ichika, are you buying a book?
**[04:52] Rio**
I'll be waiting for you by the entrance.
**[04:55] Ichika**
Sure.
**[04:58] Arie**
Amakusa!
**[05:00] Ryo**
Hey, Matsushima.
**[05:02] Arie**
This is yours. It got mixed
up in marketing's stuff.
**[05:07] Ryo**
Thanks for delivering it.
**[05:08] Arie**
Hey, no worries. I needed to come by anyway.
**[05:12] Arie**
By the way, you have a big
meeting tomorrow, right?
**[05:15] Ryo**
Yeah, I'm getting ready for it right now.
**[05:17] Arie**
I see. Well, good luck.
***SIGN*** Reflecting on Her Actions
**[05:24] Arie**
*Oh, God, I was so nervous...*
**[05:26] Arie**
*Did I talk to him naturally?*
**[05:29] Arie**
*I hadn't talked to him since that night,*
**[05:31] Arie**
* so even trivial conversations*
* make me so nervous.*
**[05:33] Arie**
*Wait, was "good luck" the right thing to say?*
**[05:38] Arie**
*What if that has the opposite effect?*
**[05:41] Arie**
* Amakusa never shows how he's*
* feeling, so I have no idea.*
**[05:41] Kakihara**
Earth to Arrietty. We're at work.
Come back down from your own planet.
**[05:44] Arie**
* Should I have said,*
* "You've got this"? I have no idea...*
**[05:48] Masuda**
Thanks for inviting me over.
**[05:52] Masuda**
I bought some beer and random snacks.
**[05:54] Ryo**
Thanks.
**[05:58] Masuda**
It's rare for you to invite me
over to your place for drinks.
**[06:02] Ryo**
It doesn't hurt every once in a while.
**[06:04] Ryo**
I'm also gonna watch some movies I've
been meaning to watch, so stick around.
**[06:07] Masuda**
Yeah, sure.
**[06:08] Masuda**
But you've been back at your folks'
place lately. Why are you back here?
**[06:14] Ryo**
I'll be back over here for a while.
**[06:17] Masuda**
Huh? Why?
**[06:22] Ryo**
My dad's back home.
**[06:25] Masuda**
Ah. I see.
**[06:28] Ryo**
Jeez. You seem really worried.
**[06:31] Ryo**
Do you think I ran away?
**[06:33] Masuda**
Huh? Not really.
**[06:36] Masuda**
Jeez, what's the matter, Ryo-kun?
**[06:38] Masuda**
You're a bit more prickly as of late.
It's like we're back in high school.
**[06:44] Ryo**
Sorry.
**[06:46] Ryo**
I've just had a lot on my mind lately.
**[06:49] Masuda**
About your dad?
**[06:51] Ryo**
There's that, but...
**[06:54] Ryo**
A coworker asked me out the other day.
**[06:58] Masuda**
And?
**[07:00] Ryo**
I told her I had a crush on someone.
**[07:03] Ryo**
But she said she was still going to
work hard to get me to like her back.
**[07:08] Masuda**
Oh, my goodness!
What an admirable little girl!
**[07:12] Ryo**
She said she wanted to
know more about my crush,
**[07:15] Ryo**
so I told her... that Ichika-san's
my little sister's classmate.
**[07:19] Masuda**
You told her that?!
**[07:21] Ryo**
She said we'd probably both be
hurt because of the age difference,
**[07:24] Ryo**
so I'd be better off with her instead.
**[07:28] Ryo**
I figure she's absolutely correct.
**[07:31] Ryo**
I'm sure it'd be way more socially acceptable and realistic if I went out with her.
**[07:36] Ryo**
And it's likely better for Ichika-san, too.
**[07:39] Ryo**
So I've been giving it a lot of thought...
**[07:43] Masuda**
Oh. I see.
**[07:45] Ryo**
What kind of attitude is that?
**[07:47] Masuda**
What do you mean?
**[07:47] Ryo**
Don't give me that! Just tell me.
**[07:50] Masuda**
Seriously, Ryo.
**[07:52] Masuda**
You don't look okay with any of this.
**[07:55] Masuda**
Listen, Ryo. You've been nothing
but awful to all the girls who've
**[08:00] Masuda**
ever shown any interest in you.
***SIGN*** Stab
**[08:02] Ryo**
Well, y-yeah...
**[08:04] Masuda**
And you're going to do something awful again?
**[08:08] Masuda**
Be a decent guy for once.
**[08:11] Masuda**
Going out with the girl who asked you
out when you're feeling like that
**[08:14] Masuda**
is just insanely rude to
both her and Ichika-chan.
**[08:17] Masuda**
You're only thinking about yourself.
**[08:21] Masuda**
You need to be prepared for the
fact that you might get hurt.
**[08:25] Masuda**
And that's all from me.
**[08:27] Masuda**
All right. Let's watch some movies.
What do you wanna watch?
**[08:34] Ryo**
You're right.
**[08:36] Ryo**
I will. I'll be prepared.
**[08:40] Masuda**
So, hey, is this coworker of yours cute?
**[08:43] Ryo**
You know, you really are
unfortunate sometimes.
**[08:45] Masuda**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[08:47] Ryo**
Do you really need me to
explain "unfortunate"?
**[08:48] Masuda**
Whatever. So what are we gonna watch?
**[08:55] Ichika**
*Three days ago, I got a call from Ryo-san.*
***SIGN*** Ryo-san
**[08:57] Ryo**
* I'd like to take you to a*
* sweets buffet for White Day.*
**[09:01] Ryo**
*Do you have any plans next Saturday?*
**[09:04] Ichika**
*And he invited me out.*
**[09:07] Ichika**
Was this one of the options
from your presentation?
***SIGN*** Ichika-san,
In regard to your White Day
**[09:11] Ryo**
Yes! I thought one good deed deserves another,
**[09:15] Ryo**
so I decided to go with this plan.
**[09:17] Ichika**
Oh, I see.
**[09:18] Ichika**
*So it was...*
**[09:20] Ryo**
Also, I figured it'd be better if
we could enjoy something together.
**[09:24] Ichika**
I-I see...
**[09:27] Ryo**
Do you not want to?
**[09:28] Ichika**
I—
**[09:31] Ichika**
I'm troubled because I don't mind it.
**[09:36] Old man**
*Why do I suddenly smell flowers?*
**[09:37] Woman**
*I suddenly smell roses...*
**[09:39] Ichika**
*Come to think of it, we have gone out before,*
**[09:42] Ichika**
*albeit partially because he tricked me,*
**[09:45] Ichika**
*but this might be our first actual date.*
**[09:52] Ichika**
*No, this isn't a date!*
**[09:53] Ichika**
* He's just doing this for White Day*
* or something! Yeah!*
**[10:00] Ichika**
Wow... There are so many to choose from!
**[10:04] Ichika**
I don't know what I should get.
**[10:06] Ichika**
I want to try one of everything.
**[10:08] Ichika**
Maybe I'll prioritize
the strawberry sweets...
**[10:10] Ichika**
Ugh, what should I do?
**[10:13] Ryo**
You're really struggling, huh?
**[10:15] Ichika**
Can you blame me?!
**[10:17] Ichika**
Ryo-san! There's a chocolate fountain!
**[10:20] Ichika**
Can I try it out?
**[10:21] Ryo**
Sure, of course.
**[10:26] Ryo**
* I'm going to watch Ichika-san*
* having fun dipping things*
**[10:28] Ryo**
*on an endless loop later.*
**[10:30] Ryo**
*She's just so cute.*
**[10:35] Ryo**
You'll get chocolate on your sleeve.
**[10:38] Ichika**
Oh, sorry.
**[10:40] Ryo**
I'm glad it didn't get dirty.
**[10:43] Ryo**
You look very lovely in your outfit today.
**[10:46] Ichika**
*Why did I actually buy this magazine?*
**[10:48] Sign**
Look cute yet mature
with a casual look
**[10:50] Ichika**
Oh, th-this is just... We were going to
a buffet, so I wanted to look nice.
**[10:54] Ichika**
Th-That's all it is!
**[10:57] Ryo**
It looks like they have
dishes other than sweets.
**[11:00] Ichika**
Yes, they have pasta, too.
**[11:02] Ichika**
Ryo-san, is this your first
time at a sweets buffet?
**[11:05] Ryo**
Yes.
**[11:06] Ichika**
I see. I figured you'd been to
one with another girl before.
**[11:12] Ichika**
*Oh, no. That sounded awful...*
**[11:17] Ryo**
Ichika-san, could it be...
**[11:19] Ryo**
that you're jealous?
**[11:23] Ryo**
Just kidding.
**[11:25] Ichika**
Huh?
**[11:29] Ryo**
Huh? Wait, you were actually jealous?
**[11:35] Ichika**
No!
**[11:36] Ichika**
No, not at all!
***SIGN*** Eek
***SIGN*** Eek
**[11:37] Ichika**
I-I just figured you'd
gone with someone before!
**[11:41] Ichika**
That's why I asked!
**[11:43] Ichika**
Don't get the wrong idea! Here's your plate!
**[11:46] Ichika**
Come on, Ryo-san! We have limited time!
**[11:49] Ryo**
Oh, uh... Sure.
**[11:55] Ichika**
Why are you beaming?
**[11:59] Ichika**
You're so creepy.
**[12:00] Ichika**
*Why did I react like that earlier?*
**[12:04] Ryo**
The corners of my lips naturally form
a smile whenever I'm with you, Ichika-san.
**[12:08] Ichika**
Maybe you should get that looked at.
**[12:10] Ryo**
Yes. I have a severe case of being in love.
**[12:14] Saito**
Acting Section Chief?
**[12:16] Kotake**
Oh, what?
**[12:17] Saito**
It is you.
***SIGN*** Work Mode: ON
**[12:18] Ryo**
Hey, what a coincidence.
**[12:20] Saito**
It totally is.
**[12:21] Hanaoka**
Do you like sweets, sir?
**[12:24] Ryo**
Yeah, I do.
**[12:26] Kotake**
Wow, that's sorta surprising.
**[12:28] Ryo**
Is it? Just the three of you today?
**[12:31] Saito**
Yes.
**[12:32] Saito**
It's actually my birthday today.
**[12:35] Kotake**
So we're here to celebrate.
**[12:37] Ryo**
I see. Well, happy birthday.
**[12:40] Saito**
Thank you.
**[12:42] Saito**
I'm probably too old to
celebrate my birthday, but...
***SIGN*** Stare...
**[12:46] Ryo**
That's not true.
***SIGN*** And freeze
**[12:49] Kotake**
Hey, I was wondering...
**[12:51] Kotake**
Is this your little sister, sir?
**[12:54] Ryo**
Huh?
**[12:55] Hanaoka**
Oh, you did mention that you
had a sister in high school.
**[12:58] Saito**
You must be really close.
**[13:00] Ryo**
No, she's not my—
**[13:01] Ichika**
Yes.
**[13:02] Ichika**
You must work with my brother.
Thanks for always looking after him.
**[13:07] Saito**
Oh, it's our pleasure.
**[13:09] Hanaoka**
What year are you in?
**[13:11] Ichika**
I'll be starting my third in April.
**[13:13] Saito**
So that means you're still...
**[13:15] Ichika**
Yes, I'm seventeen.
**[13:16] All**
You're so young!
***SIGN*** Koikimo

**[13:34] Saito**
Sorry for interrupting your meal.
**[13:35] Hanaoka**
If you'll excuse us.
**[13:37] Kotake**
Oh, right.
**[13:38] Saito**
I'm starving.
**[13:39] Kotake**
Oh, this? It's new.
**[13:40] Saito**
That looks good.
**[13:42] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[13:42] Ichika**
Um...
**[13:43] Ichika**
I'm sorry for lying. I'm glad
they hadn't met Rio before.
**[13:49] Ryo**
That's not...
**[13:50] Ichika**
I figured they might think it's weird that
you're with your little sister's friend.
**[13:55] Ichika**
So it just came out.
**[13:57] Ichika**
I'm sorry for lying.
**[14:00] Ryo**
I'm not really worried about it.
You were just looking out for me.
**[14:04] Ryo**
But...
**[14:06] Ryo**
I wanted to introduce you as
the person I'm in love with.
**[14:11] Ichika**
B-But that would cause you a lot of trouble.
***SIGN*** Gloom...
**[14:18] Ichika**
Ugh, why are you so depressed?
**[14:27] Ichika**
Oh, this cake is really good!
**[14:30] Ichika**
Here!
**[14:31] Ichika**
We should have some fun since we're here!
**[14:37] Ichika**
Okay?
**[14:46] Ryo**
Yes.
**[14:51] Ichika**
I'm so full.
**[14:58] Ryo**
*As long as I'm by Ichika-san's side,*
**[15:03] Ryo**
*she might have to force herself to lie*
**[15:06] Ryo**
*and smile like that in secret.*
**[15:11] Ryo**
Ichika-san.
**[15:15] Ryo**
Would you like to go look at the ocean?
**[15:27] Ryo**
Here's some tea.
**[15:28] Ichika**
Thank you very much. It's so warm.
**[15:31] Ryo**
Are you chilly at all?
**[15:33] Ichika**
I'm fine.
**[15:35] Ichika**
I think this might be the first time I've
come to the ocean at this time of year.
**[15:38] Ryo**
The ocean during the spring is nice.
**[15:42] Ryo**
Um... Was I able to properly repay you today?
**[15:48] Ichika**
What if I said no?
**[15:51] Ryo**
Then I'd be prolonging our
activities further today.
**[15:57] Ichika**
Yes, you did.
**[15:58] Ichika**
I had fun, and the food was good.
**[16:01] Ryo**
Really?
**[16:02] Ichika**
Now you're just fishing for compliments.
**[16:07] Ichika**
Yes, I really had fun. Thank you very much.
**[16:13] Ryo**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[16:14] Ichika**
Your personality is awful.
**[16:22] Ryo**
*What society thinks and our age difference...*
**[16:28] Ichika**
Hey!
**[16:28] Ryo**
Do we...
**[16:30] Ryo**
Do we still look like siblings?
**[16:34] Ryo**
*I wonder if she'll ever be able to...*
**[16:37] Ichika**
I-I don't think so...
**[16:48] Ryo**
* ...love me enough to not*
* care about any of that.*
**[17:00] Ryo**
That was a rather delayed scream.
**[17:02] Ichika**
Wait, wait, what were you trying to do?
**[17:04] Ryo**
Exactly what it looked like.
**[17:06] Ichika**
Don't get ahead of yourself!
You idiot! You're the worst!
**[17:16] Ryo**
Right...
**[17:17] (Flashback) Masuda**
Be a decent guy for once.
**[17:22] Ryo**
I am pretty awful.
**[17:26] Ichika**
Haven't I been saying that this whole time?
**[17:28] Ryo**
I love that about you, Ichika-san.
**[17:33] Ichika**
I got a really nice picture
of the cake from earlier.
**[17:35] Ryo**
Really?
**[17:37] Ichika**
I'll send you the picture.
**[17:39] Ichika**
One sec. I'm going to edit it a bit.
**[17:42] Ichika**
I'll turn up the contrast... then fix the hue...
**[17:44] Ryo**
Wow, you're really used to this.
**[17:50] Ryo**
*Hey. Sorry to bother you on your day off.*
**[17:53] Ryo**
* Want to go drinking after work*
* on Thursday? Just the two of us?*
**[17:57] Ryo**
* Since it's around White Day,*
* I want to repay you,*
**[18:00] Ryo**
* and there's something I want*
* to tell you, Matsushima.*
**[18:02] Ryo**
*What do you think?*
**[18:03] Ichika**
I just sent you the picture.
**[18:06] Sign**
Ichika-san
**[18:06] Sign**
Matsushima
**[18:08] Ryo**
You're right. It's really pretty.
**[18:10] Ryo**
A picture can change so much
depending on who's taking it.
**[18:14] Ichika**
It's called editing.
**[18:16] Ryo**
But look at this brilliance.
***SIGN*** Train is arriving
**[18:18] Ichika**
No.
**[18:22] Ryo**
This is my treat to you for White Day.
**[18:26] Arie**
Wow, thank you.
**[18:29] Arie**
Oh, I've heard these shortbread
cookies are great.
**[18:32] Ryo**
That's what the employee
recommended, so I got them.
**[18:35] Ryo**
I'm glad they're popular.
**[18:37] Arie**
Maybe I'll have them as a
treat for my hard work.
**[18:41] Arie**
So...
**[18:43] Arie**
You had something you
wanted to tell me, right?
**[18:50] Ryo**
Can I get straight to the point?
**[18:52] Arie**
I'd honestly prefer that.
**[18:54] Ryo**
I see... You're right.
**[18:57] Arie**
* I can pretty much guess what*
* Amakusa wants to tell me.*
**[19:03] Arie**
*Especially if it's something important.*
**[19:08] Ryo**
All right. I'll just say it.
**[19:11] Ryo**
I want you to give up on me.
**[19:15] Ryo**
To be honest, I thought it'd be
better if I went out with you...
**[19:20] Ryo**
Both for me and for my crush.
**[19:24] Ryo**
I know I'm just thinking about myself...
And this is really rude toward you. I'm awful.
**[19:33] Ryo**
But I just couldn't.
**[19:35] Ryo**
Even if our age difference might make
us suffer, she's the only one for me.
**[19:43] Ryo**
I'm being pretty awful right now,
**[19:44] Ryo**
but you were sincere with your feelings for me,
**[19:48] Ryo**
so I wanted to be honest with you, as well.
**[19:51] Ryo**
I'm sorry. That's why I
want you to just give up.
**[19:56] Ryo**
Please.
**[19:59] Arie**
Huh?
**[20:01] Arie**
What?! Wait, don't apologize like that!
**[20:11] Arie**
All right. I'll give up.
**[20:13] Arie**
I said I would work hard
to get you to like me,
**[20:16] Arie**
but I'll give up.
**[20:18] Ryo**
Matsushima...
**[20:19] Arie**
You see... I actually didn't like
you very much until just recently.
**[20:24] Ryo**
Huh?
**[20:24] Arie**
You were really hard to approach.
**[20:26] Ryo**
Really?
**[20:27] Arie**
Yeah.
**[20:29] Arie**
But you've seemed much
more approachable lately.
**[20:34] Arie**
And that's when I started to fall for you.
**[20:38] Arie**
You probably changed because of your crush.
**[20:42] Arie**
You always have such a kind look
on your face when you talk about her.
**[20:46] Ryo**
Oh... I didn't even notice.
**[20:49] Arie**
I think I like the part of you
that's in love with your crush.
**[20:55] Arie**
So I had lost from the start.
**[20:58] Ryo**
Lost? This isn't about winning or losing.
**[21:01] Arie**
It is, though.
**[21:03] Arie**
You're going to deal with
the age difference, right?
**[21:06] Arie**
You need enough resolve to do everything
you can to get her to notice you.
**[21:10] Arie**
So... do your best.
**[21:14] Ryo**
All right.
**[21:16] Arie**
Sorry, that almost ended up being a lecture.
**[21:18] Arie**
This looks really good. Let's eat.
**[21:22] Arie**
Oh, I'm gonna stop by a place on my way home.
**[21:25] Arie**
Can we part ways here?
**[21:26] Ryo**
Sure. Thanks for everything today.
**[21:29] Arie**
No, thank you. I'll see you tomorrow at work.
**[21:35] Ryo**
Yeah, see you.
**[21:37] Ryo**
Be careful.
**[21:38] Arie**
Yeah.
**[22:00] Arie**
Ah... It's good...
**[22:11] Arie**
I did well today. I think
I deserve these right now.
**[22:19] Ryo**
I need to call Ichika-san
before it gets too late.
**[22:25] Arie**
* You're going to deal with*
* the age difference, right?*
**[22:27] Arie**
* You need enough resolve to do everything*
* you can to get her to notice you.*
**[22:35] Ryo**
*Sometimes, resolve just isn't enough.*

**[00:20] Ruri**
Yes, I suppose.
**[00:22] Satsuki**
Me, too!
**[00:23] Ichika**
Yeah...
**[00:25] Rio**
What's wrong?
**[00:26] Ichika**
It's probably not great if I haven't
decided on anything by now, huh?
**[00:32] Ichika**

But I don't have anything in
particular that I want to pursue.
**[00:42] Ruri**
Well, I don't think you
need to decide in a hurry.
**[00:46] Ichika**
Hey, to give me some ideas, could you
all tell me what you plan to do?
**[00:50] Satsuki**
Sure!
**[00:51] Satsuki**
I guess I'll go first.
**[00:53] Satsuki**
I want to be a PE teacher, so I plan to get
**[00:56] Satsuki**
my teaching license at a public university.
**[00:58] Ruri**
You've wanted to be a PE teacher
ever since you were in first grade.
**[01:03] Satsuki**
Yeah, exactly.
**[01:04] Satsuki**
I considered a private school,
but I don't think we can afford it.
**[01:09] Satsuki**
I'd probably have to get a student loan,
so I'd need a part-time job!
**[01:14] Ichika**
I see.
**[01:15] Rio**
And you, Ruri?
**[01:16] Ruri**
I'll be going to a fashion design school.
**[01:20] Ruri**
Once I graduate, I'm hoping I'll
be able to make my own brand
**[01:25] Ruri**
and sell things online.
**[01:26] Ichika**
Wow, that's great!
**[01:28] Rio**
That's awesome.
**[01:30] Satsuki**
Sweet!
**[01:31] Ruri**
Thanks.
**[01:33] Ruri**
But my mother's against the idea.
**[01:36] Ichika**
Huh?
**[01:37] Ruri**
But I plan to do this and that to try and
convince her otherwise, so it'll be fine.
***SIGN*** This
and
that...
**[01:42] Ruri**
All right. You're next, Rio.
**[01:44] Rio**
Well... I want to be a lawyer.
**[01:49] Ichika**
What? I didn't know that!
**[01:50] Ichika**
Yeah, because I haven't told anyone
but my family and teachers.
**[01:54] Ruri**
Is there a reason you
want to become a lawyer?
**[01:58] Rio**
I mean, lawyers are awesome.
***SIGN*** Boom
**[02:01] Ichika**
Your reasoning is awesome!
**[02:03] Rio**
So, yeah. I'm trying to get into
a school that teaches law.
**[02:07] Rio**
It's gonna be a lot of work,
but I want to do everything I can.
**[02:11] Ichika**
That's so amazing. Way to go, Rio.
**[02:14] Ruri**
Do your parents support you in this decision?
**[02:16] Rio**
Well, they aren't against it,
so I'm going to assume they are.
**[02:20] Rio**
My dad's always been pretty easy on me.
**[02:25] Ichika**
What was it like when Ryo-san
decided what he wanted to do?
**[02:28] Rio**
My brother?
**[02:29] Satsuki**
Hey, I wanna know, too!
**[02:31] Ruri**
That might help us out in some way.
**[02:33] Rio**
Hmm... I don't really remember.
**[02:37] Rio**
We're talking about when I was about seven,
**[02:40] Rio**
and I wasn't that interested,
so I never asked.
**[02:44] Ichika**
Ryo-san graduated from a pretty
good school, didn't he?
**[02:47] Rio**
Yeah.
**[02:47] Satsuki**
Oh, I knew it.
**[02:50] Rio**
I have no idea what he studied at school.
**[02:53] Rio**
Maybe he learned how to
mess around with girls.

**[03:04] Ichika**
You're all so ahead of the game.
I guess I need to think about this, too.
**[03:09] Rio**
Then why not try to decide
based on what you like to do?
**[03:13] Satsuki**
Hey, that's a great idea!
**[03:18] Ichika**

I thought about giving you this

**[05:03] Kai**
but I really didn't want to wait two weeks.
**[05:07] Kai**
It's for White Day.
**[05:08] Ichika**
Oh, thank you so much!
**[05:10] Kai**
I mean... it was just the right thing
to do, since you gave me something.
**[05:15] Ichika**
By the way, when I was hanging out
with Rio and the others yesterday,
**[05:19] Ichika**
we were talking about what we plan to do next.
**[05:21] Ichika**
Are you going to college?
**[05:23] Kai**
Yeah.
**[05:24] Kai**
For now, I'm hoping to get
into a liberal arts school.
**[05:29] Ichika**
Oh! Me, too... I think.
**[05:32] Kai**
What? You're not sure?
**[05:35] Ichika**
I'm wondering if I'm
actually serious about it.
**[05:38] Kai**
I'm hoping I'll find out what I
want to do once I get into college.
**[05:43] Ichika**
I see. I guess that's an option, too.
**[05:47] Kai**
You're so earnest, Arima. I think it's
fine if you're not completely sure yet.
**[05:52] Ichika**
Yeah, but...
**[05:55] Ichika**
I think I'm panicking a little because
I can't picture what I want to do.
**[06:01] Ichika**
But you were a lot of help. Thank you.
**[06:06] Kai**
Why not try asking people older than us, too?
**[06:09] Ichika**
Huh?
**[06:10] Kai**
They've already been through all this,
**[06:13] Kai**
so I bet they could give you good advice.
**[06:16] Ichika**
Someone older...

**[06:29] Ichika**
Yes.
**[06:30] Ryo**
Then what about an art school?
**[06:33] Ichika**
*Huh? No, that's impossible.*
**[06:35] Ichika**
I like to draw and paint, but I'm
not particularly good at either.
***SIGN*** I suck at
sketching
**[06:39] Ichika**
* And if I had to choose, I think I like*

**[06:44] Ryo**
I see.
**[06:45] Ryo**
Does that mean you might be
interested in a job where you can
**[06:48] Ryo**
observe and study art pieces?
**[06:50] Ryo**
*Maybe like a curator.*
**[06:52] Ichika**
Oh, I see. I guess there
are jobs like that, too.
**[06:56] Ichika**
*A curator, huh?*
**[06:59] Ichika**
*How did you decide which school to go to?*
**[07:02] Ryo**
Me? I...
**[07:05] (Flashback) Dad**
You can't even think for yourself.
Don't you dare try to defy your parents.
**[07:12] Ryo**
I just followed the path that
my parents laid out for me.
**[07:16] Ichika**
*Huh?*
**[07:17] Ryo**
*So you shouldn't use me as an example.*
**[07:17] Sign**
Ryo-san
**[07:22] Ryo**
* Oh, I'm sure Masuda would be*

**[07:25] Ryo**
*He actually went to an art school.*
**[07:28] Ryo**
I'll ask him next time I see him.
**[07:30] Ichika**
*Thank you very much.*
**[07:32] Ryo**
It's a bit late tonight, so I'll let you go.
**[07:35] Ichika**
*Oh, sure.*
**[07:36] Ryo**
*Goodnight, Ichika-san.*

Thanks.

**[08:42] Ryo**

Figures.
**[09:14] Ryo**
Okay, sure. Thanks.
**[09:20] Mom**
So, how are Ryo and Ichika-chan doing lately?
**[09:24] Rio**
Hmm... I guess there's been at least
some progress since they first met.
**[09:29] Mom**
What kind of progress?
**[09:31] Rio**
She gave him a Valentine's Day gift,
and they went out on a date for White Day.
**[09:36] Mom**
Are you really talking about Ryo?
**[09:39] Mom**
This all sounds so pure that it's scaring me.
***SIGN*** Sure it's not
just someone
with the

**[09:42] Rio**
Yeah, I feel you.
**[09:44] Rio**
It is a bit surprising if you think about it.
**[09:47] Mom**
I was shocked when you told me.
**[09:50] Rio**
Right?
**[09:51] Rio**
Who would've thought Onii-chan would
develop a crush on one of my friends?
**[09:55] Dad**
Rio.
**[09:58] Dad**
What do you mean by that?
**[10:05] Dad**
Ryo, hang on a second.
**[10:10] Ryo**
What?
**[10:10] Dad**
You had the nerve to lay your
hands on one of Rio's friends?
**[10:14] Dad**
She's still in high school!
**[10:16] Ryo**
What?
**[10:17] Ryo**
Lay my hands on her?
**[10:19] Ryo**
Why do you have to say it like that?
**[10:21] Dad**
So it's true.
**[10:23] Dad**
How are you so lacking in common sense?
**[10:26] Dad**
If you could hold yourself
responsible for whatever happens
**[10:30] Dad**
in your work or private life, it'd be fine.
**[10:32] Dad**
But it's a different story if you're
dragging Rio down with you.
**[10:36] Dad**
You're an adult now!
You need to settle down already!
**[10:41] Ryo**
Hang on a second.
**[10:43] Ryo**
You didn't even ask me what's going on.
You just made your own assumptions.
**[10:47] Ryo**
Even if there was a chance of trouble,
**[10:49] Ryo**
I have absolutely no intention
of dragging Rio into this!
**[10:51] Ryo**
Most importantly...
**[10:55] Ryo**
Ichika-san is one of Rio's closest friends,
**[10:59] Ryo**
so don't ever say it like that to Rio!
**[11:02] Dad**
You dare speak to your own father that way?!
**[11:09] Rio**
*I'm sorry, Onii-chan.*
**[11:11] Rio**
* He just happened to overhear Mom*
* and me talking about Ichika...*
**[11:17] Ryo**
You have nothing to apologize for.
**[11:20] Ryo**
There's nothing to hide, anyway.
**[11:22] Rio**
*Yeah, I know, but...*
**[11:24] Ryo**
* He was eavesdropping on*
* your conversation, right?*
**[11:29] Ryo**
*God, he's awful.*
**[11:31] Rio**
* You were talking with Dad when*
* you were leaving, weren't you?*
**[11:36] Ryo**
You don't need to worry about any of that.
**[11:38] ---**
*I guess...*
**[11:39] Rio**
* You always get so meek all of a*
* sudden when Dad gets involved.*
**[11:44] Rio**
Well...
**[11:47] Rio**
You two are always so harsh with each other.
**[11:52] Rio**
It's scary.
**[11:54] Ryo**
Considering everything I've done so far,
**[11:57] Ryo**
it's not surprising that Dad
would have that attitude.
**[12:02] Rio**
Hey.
**[12:03] Ryo**
*Hmm?*
**[12:04] Rio**
* What should I say to Dad if*
* he asks about you and Ichika?*
**[12:14] Ryo**
Just tell him what you know.
**[12:17] Ryo**
There's nothing to hide.
**[12:19] Rio**
*Okay.*
**[12:20] Ryo**
Oh, Mom might be worried about this,
so could you check up on her for me?
**[12:24] Rio**
*Yeah.*
**[12:25] Ryo**
Okay, goodnight.
**[12:27] Rio**
*Yeah, talk to you later. Night.*
**[12:35] Ichika**
*Maybe he's not going to call me today.*

Huh?

I heard that you two were acquainted.
**[13:41] Ichika**
Oh, no. Ryo-san's been helping

**[13:45] Ichika**
and helping me out a lot in other ways, too.
**[13:48] Dad**
He has?
**[13:49] Ichika**
Yes.
**[13:50] Ichika**
I think he's a good person.
**[13:54] Dad**
I see.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Dad, she's...

Nope, everything's fine.

The falling petals are a nice touch.
**[15:18] Masuda**

**[15:20] Masuda**
We have tea, fizzy drinks, and orange juice.

I'm the one who got the

Don't tell them that, Ryo! I was

Well, it's the truth.

Seriously...
**[15:50] Ichika**
*Maybe I'm just imagining it.*
**[15:51] Ichika**
*Ryo-san seems less excitable than usual.*
**[15:51] Ryo**
You never plan these properly, anyway.
**[15:56] Ryo**
Ichika-san, would you like a blanket?
**[15:58] Ichika**
Huh? Uh, yes.
**[16:01] Ichika**
Oh, right. Here.

Oh, yeah. Ryo-san, I decided
what school I wanted to go to.
**[17:53] Ryo**
Oh, really?
**[17:55] Ichika**
I found a school I really liked,
**[17:57] Ichika**

**[18:21] Ichika**
You don't have to do all that.
**[18:24] Ichika**
Besides, I actually liked
how homemade it looked.
**[18:29] Ryo**
Then homemade it is.
**[18:30] Ryo**
I'll make it look even
more handmade this time.
**[18:34] Ichika**
What does that even mean?
**[18:40] Ryo**
I haven't had such a relaxed
flower viewing in so long.
**[18:43] Ichika**
Really?
**[18:44] Ryo**
My job has a flower viewing every year.
**[18:48] Ryo**
And with them, they all
prefer their dumplings...
***SIGN*** Yay

**[18:50] Ryo**
or rather, alcohol over their flowers.
**[18:52] Ichika**
Ah, I see.
**[18:54] Ichika**
How long has it been since
you went outside of work?
**[18:57] Ryo**
Hmm... I think we went as a family
when Rio was still in a stroller...

**[19:04] Ichika**
Huh? But that's so long ago.
**[19:07] Ryo**
Oh, I remember now.
**[19:14] Ryo**
If I remember correctly,
it suddenly started raining,
**[19:18] Ryo**
and we ended up leaving.
**[19:21] Ryo**
I was super depressed about that.
**[19:26] Ryo**
But then my dad let me try a
lottery draw on our way home.
**[19:28] Sign**
Lottery
**[19:32] Ryo**
Oh, that's right. I won a toy.
**[19:35] Ryo**
I don't remember exactly what kind.
**[19:38] Ryo**
How nostalgic.
**[19:43] Ryo**
That's right...
**[19:45] Ryo**
We were still able to smile and talk back then.
**[19:53] Ryo**
We don't get along very well.
**[19:58] (Flashback) Rio**
My dad and my brother *really* don't get along.
**[20:03] (Flashback) Rio**
They're like cats and dogs.
**[20:05] Ichika**
* This is the first time Ryo-san's*
* told me about their dad himself.*
**[20:11] Ryo**
Do you get along with
your father, Ichika-san?
**[20:14] Ichika**
Me? Hmm... I guess we're pretty close.
**[20:19] Ryo**
My father and I have been
at odds for so long that
**[20:22] Ryo**
we just don't know how to interact anymore.
**[20:25] Ryo**
I saw him for the first time in a while
the other day and talked to him,
**[20:29] Ryo**
but we ended up in an argument.
**[20:34] Ryo**
I was able to tell him how I truly feel, sort of...
**[20:39] Ryo**
But I'm not sure if I got through to him.
**[20:42] Ryo**
I'm sorry. I must be boring you.
**[20:45] Ichika**
No, I'm glad you told me all this.
**[20:49] Ichika**
I wanted you to tell me something
I didn't know about you...
**[20:54] Ichika**
So I'm really glad you told me.
**[21:00] Ichika**
How you truly feel...
**[21:06] Ryo**
Ichika-san, there's a flower petal...
**[21:21] Ichika**
Ryo-san.
**[21:24] Ichika**
Ryo-san, I think I...
**[21:30] Masuda**
We bought some stuff!
**[21:33] Masuda**
Sorry, we ate some of it, though.
**[21:36] Rio**
Look at these spiral-cut potatoes.
**[21:38] Ichika**
O-Oh, wow! They look great!
**[21:42] Ichika**
Let's have some, Ryo-san.
**[21:44] Ryo**
Oh, sure...
**[21:46] Ichika**
Wow, the sausages are spiral-cut, too.
**[21:48] Rio**
Aren't these great?
**[21:50] Masuda**
We got yakisoba, too!
**[21:56] Masuda**
Man, we bought so much!
**[21:58] Ichika**
You did.
**[22:00] Masuda**
Hey, try the yakisoba, too!

Okay, okay...

Hey, Rio.
**[00:08] Ichika**
Is Ryo-san on a business trip or something?
**[00:11] Rio**
Huh? No.
**[00:13] Ichika**
I see. Then is he feeling okay?
**[00:16] Rio**
I think so. What's wrong?
**[00:19] Ichika**
It's not a big deal.
**[00:21] Ichika**
It's just that he hasn't called
me since our flower viewing.
**[00:24] Ichika**
I was just wondering if he's okay.
**[00:26] Rio**
Wait, hold up. My brother was
still calling you every day?
***SIGN*** I'm not sure if I should
be scared or impressed...
**[00:30] Rio**
He really kept that up for six months...
**[00:32] Ichika**
Now that you mention it...
I guess it has been six months.
**[00:37] Ichika**
Before, any time he couldn't call,
he'd always let me know in advance,
**[00:41] Ichika**
so I was a little worried.
**[00:44] Rio**
Then why don't you try calling him?
**[00:47] Ichika**
What?
**[00:48] Rio**
You're worried, aren't you? Call him.
**[00:51] Ichika**
Uh... Hmm...

reason he can't call.
**[01:00] Rio**
And you'll need to call him to find that out.
**[01:03] Ichika**
Uh...
**[01:05] Rio**
Listen...
**[01:07] Rio**
You like my brother, don't you?
**[01:12] Rio**
I've been trying to be nice about this,
**[01:15] Rio**
but if you're going to be half-assed
about it, I feel bad for my brother.
**[01:19] Rio**
You need to make up your mind already.

Oh, dear. Dad's birthday

**[01:41] Ichika**
Oh, you're right! I still need to buy him a gift!
**[01:44] Mom**
Yeah, I totally forgot...
**[01:46] Ichika**
How old is Dad going to be?
**[01:49] Mom**
Forty... something?
**[01:53] Ichika**
Hey, how many years apart are you two again?
**[01:57] Mom**
Huh?
**[02:00] Mom**
Let's see...
**[02:02] Mom**
Your father's five years older.
**[02:05] Ichika**
Five years...
**[02:08] Mom**
Once you become an adult, though,
five years is really nothing.
**[02:13] Ichika**
Yeah, at your age.
**[02:16] Ichika**
At my age...
**[02:17] Ichika**
Five years is pretty big.
**[02:20] Mom**
Well, for you right now, yes.
**[02:23] Mom**
But you'll be an adult before you know it.
**[02:27] Mom**
Nothing special. No big deal.
**[02:31] Ichika**
It's not?
**[02:32] Mom**
Nope!
**[02:34] Mom**
What? You want to be an adult already?
**[02:39] Ichika**
Maybe that's it.
**[02:42] Ichika**
I wonder if he'll wait for
me until I'm an adult.
**[02:47] Mom**
What are you talking about?
**[02:49] Ichika**
Ow.
**[02:49] Mom**
You need to put in some effort
so he'll wait for you.
**[02:53] Mom**
He's a great guy, so he may just disappear
if you don't put in any effort.
**[02:58] Ichika**
Uh, Mom... Do you know what
I'm actually talking about?
**[03:02] Mom**
Really?
**[03:03] Mom**
I was going to overlook that part,
but you're really asking?
**[03:08] Ichika**
Moms are scary.

**[07:02] Ichika**
What?
**[07:03] Rio**
Order.
**[07:05] Ichika**
Let's see...
**[07:09] Rio**
Did you try calling my brother?
**[07:12] Ichika**
Um... Yeah, I did.
**[07:14] Rio**
And?
**[07:16] Ichika**
And... nothing, really.
**[07:18] Rio**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[07:20] Ichika**
Nothing.
**[07:25] Ichika**
He seemed really busy.
**[07:27] Rio**
Busy?
**[07:28] Ichika**
Yeah. He said he wouldn't
be able to call for a while.
**[07:33] Rio**
I'll ask him what's going on.
**[07:35] Ichika**
Huh? No, that's okay.
**[07:36] Rio**
But this hasn't happened before.
**[07:38] Rio**
He never used work as an
excuse to distance himself.
**[07:41] Ichika**
Yeah, but... If he's really
busy, what can we do?
**[07:45] Rio**
But—
**[07:46] Ichika**
Just don't!
**[07:47] Ichika**
Rio, you're meddling too much!
**[07:52] Rio**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[07:53] Rio**
It's because you two weren't
making any progress.
**[07:56] Ichika**
B-But that's my choice!
**[07:58] Ichika**
That doesn't concern you!
**[08:03] Rio**
Sorry I'm so annoying.
**[08:06] Ichika**
That's not—
**[08:16] Ichika**
I do like Ryo-san.
**[08:21] Ichika**
But I'm not a good match for him.
**[08:24] Ichika**
We're far apart in age, too.
**[08:27] Ichika**
I'm sure there's someone more suited for him.
**[08:30] Rio**
A good match for him? Like who?
**[08:33] Ichika**
Um... Someone who's mature,
pretty, fashionable, and smart...
**[08:34] Woman B**
This new lipstick I bought is great!
**[08:36] Woman C**
Really? Maybe I'll buy it, too.
**[08:39] Rio**
Huh... So that's how you feel.
**[08:44] Rio**
Then maybe there is someone.
**[08:47] Rio**
I don't see any need to think that way, though.
**[08:50] Rio**
Those are just some rando's standards.
**[08:53] Rio**
My brother likes you, and you like him back.
**[08:58] Rio**
Isn't that enough?
**[09:01] Rio**
Besides, you can be more mature,
and you can be fashionable if you want.
**[09:05] Rio**
Did my brother ever say he
liked someone like that?
**[09:08] Ichika**
No, but...
**[09:10] Rio**
You're probably only thinking this
because you lack confidence.
**[09:14] Ichika**
Well...
**[09:16] Rio**
At first, I just thought it'd be
sorta fun if you two went out.
**[09:22] Rio**
But then some things changed for the
better after he started liking you.
**[09:28] Rio**
Now I can tell that you two
actually like each other,
**[09:32] Rio**
and that's why I want to support you two.
**[09:35] Rio**
Having my precious older brother go
out with my precious best friend...
**[09:41] Rio**
would be the best.
**[09:46] Ichika**
Rio...
**[09:50] Rio**
I was trying to hold back
a little more, but...
**[09:52] Rio**
I said too much. I'm sorry.
**[09:54] Ichika**
No, it's okay! I'm sorry for
saying this didn't concern you!
**[09:58] Rio**
Don't apologize. You should thank me instead.
**[10:01] Rio**
It's all thanks to me that
you two met each other.
**[10:04] Rio**
Just kidding.
**[10:07] Ichika**
Thank you.
**[10:09] Ichika**
I'll meet Ryo-san in person
and tell him how I feel.
**[10:14] Ichika**
I'll try to get him to see me somehow.
**[10:21] Rio**
Good.
***SIGN*** Adabi
**[10:29] Barkeep**
Good evening.
**[10:34] Masuda**
You seem down in the dumps for once.
**[10:54] Masuda**
What's up? Did something happen?
**[11:00] Ryo**
Ichika-san asked me out
on a date the other day.
**[11:02] Masuda**
Oh, my goodness! Well, congratulations!
**[11:05] Ryo**
But I turned her down.
**[11:06] Masuda**
What? Why?
**[11:08] Ryo**
I lied to her and said
that I was busy with work.
**[11:10] Masuda**
No, really. Why, though?
**[11:14] Ryo**
I thought I'd back off...
**[11:18] Masuda**
Huh?!
**[11:19] Ryo**
Lately, it feels like Ichika-san might
actually have some feelings for me.
**[11:24] Masuda**
Okay, and?
**[11:25] Ryo**
And when I realized that... I sorta
got scared, for several reasons.
**[11:33] Ryo**
I remembered how I used to be and got scared.
**[11:37] Ryo**
Am I someone who can actually
take care of Ichika-san?
**[11:41] Ryo**
Am I a decent adult who
can take responsibility?
**[11:45] Ryo**
Most importantly, I don't
want Ichika-san to suffer.
**[11:49] Ryo**
So I thought that maybe I should
just back off... for good.
**[12:02] Ryo**
Masuda, are you even listening?
**[12:04] Masuda**
Ryo, are you being serious right now?
**[12:07] Ryo**
Of course I am.
**[12:10] Masuda**
I see.
**[12:14] Masuda**
Mind if I slug you, then?
**[12:17] Ryo**
Wha?
**[12:17] Masuda**
God, you're lame!
**[12:19] Masuda**
You're being so lame right now!
**[12:21] Masuda**
It's not fair for you to run away now, after
everything you put Ichika-chan through!
**[12:26] Masuda**
Were you lying about being
prepared to be hurt?
**[12:30] Masuda**
If you keep running like this,
Ichika-chan really is going to disappear!
**[12:34] Masuda**
Are you really okay with that?
**[12:39] Ryo**
Absolutely not.
**[12:41] Masuda**
Right?
**[12:43] Masuda**
Besides, if you don't want to hurt
someone who's important to you,
**[12:47] Masuda**
then you just need to work harder.
**[12:51] Ryo**
The more I feel that Ichika-san is dear to me,
**[12:54] Ryo**
the more I don't know what I should do.
**[12:58] Masuda**
You're actually able to reflect on yourself,
**[13:01] Masuda**
meaning you'd be able to put
in the necessary effort.
**[13:04] Masuda**
You need to face Ichika-chan head-on.
**[13:11] Masuda**
And that was my dose of tough
love! Well? Did it hurt?
**[13:16] Ryo**
Yeah, actually.
**[13:18] Ryo**
But I've been avoiding
Ichika-san this whole time...
**[13:22] Ryo**
Wouldn't I be an ass if I reached
out to her first, at this point?
**[13:22] Sign**
Gloom...
**[13:26] Masuda**
People would never guess that you're
actually pretty earnest and awkward.
**[13:31] Ryo**
You're really being a bully today.
**[13:33] Masuda**
That's so rude. I'm just
giving you the push you need.
**[13:38] Ryo**
Well, thanks.
**[13:42] Masuda**
Er, I have no idea how to respond
when you thank me like that.
**[13:46] Ryo**
That's exactly why I did it.
**[13:48] Masuda**
You suck.
**[13:49] Barkeep**
Here you go.
**[13:51] Ryo**
Huh? But we didn't order this.
**[13:53] Barkeep**
It's on the house.
**[14:06] Rio**
Yeah, I found the black binder.
**[14:08] Rio**
It was in one of your desk drawers.
**[14:10] Ryo**
*Oh, so that's where it was.*
**[14:13] Ryo**
* Just leave it on my desk.*
* I'll come get it tomorrow.*
**[14:16] Rio**
Okay.

You haven't contacted at me at all lately,
**[17:26] Ichika**
and then you indirectly told me
not to contact you, either!
**[17:29] Ichika**
I was worried that you might be sick!
**[17:34] Ryo**
I'm sorry.
**[17:35] Ryo**
As you can see, I'm fine.
**[17:37] Ichika**
Answer my question!
**[17:43] Ryo**
I wasn't sure if I should
stay by your side anymore.
**[17:48] Ryo**
Staying by your side forever...
**[17:51] Ryo**
I have the resolve to do that.
**[17:53] Ryo**
But all this time, I've just been
forcing my feelings onto you,
**[17:57] Ryo**
and I've made things difficult for you.
**[18:01] Ryo**
I'm probably going to keep
causing you even more trouble.
**[18:05] Ryo**
So maybe I shouldn't be by your side.
**[18:09] Ryo**
These thoughts just kept running
through my mind over and over...
**[18:14] Ryo**
And here I am.
**[18:24] Ichika**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[18:26] Ichika**
You're basically completely
ignoring my feelings.
**[18:31] Ichika**
You don't get to decide how I feel!
**[18:36] Ryo**
I can't even argue with that.
**[18:38] Ichika**
And...
**[18:39] Ichika**
It's even harder for me
not having you around.
**[18:43] Ryo**
I see.
**[18:44] Ryo**
Huh?
**[18:46] Ichika**
I finally figured it out.
**[18:49] Ichika**
Do you remember the first time we met?
**[18:52] Ryo**
Of course.
**[18:54] Ichika**
I saved you here,
**[18:56] Ichika**
then was reunited with you and found
out that you were Rio's older brother.
**[19:01] Ichika**
Then you said the worst thing ever to me.
**[19:03] Ryo**
I did.
**[19:05] Ichika**
Without thinking, I called you creepy.
**[19:09] Ichika**
Then you suddenly asked
me out in such a bold way.
**[19:13] Ichika**
You really were nothing but
trouble in the beginning.
**[19:17] Ichika**
But your feelings were so straightforward...
**[19:21] Ichika**
And I started to understand that you
were actually earnest and a bit awkward.
**[19:25] Ichika**
Any time I asked Rio for advice,
it ended up being about you.
**[19:29] Ichika**
And then I suddenly realized
that I was thinking about you.
**[19:35] Ichika**
You did nothing but cause me trouble...
**[19:38] Ichika**
You're annoying, gaudy, and on the
verge of committing a crime...
**[19:41] Ichika**
You rub it in my face that
you're handsome and smart...
**[19:44] Ichika**
You're self-centered...
You're basically filled with flaws!
**[19:47] Ichika**
But...
**[19:51] Ichika**
I love you.
**[19:52] Ichika**
I love you, Ryo-san.
**[20:11] Ryo**
Yes. I love you, too, Ichika-san.
**[20:16] Ichika**
Wh-Wha...
**[20:17] Ichika**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[20:19] Ryo**
I'm sorry. I was just so happy
that I couldn't hold back.
**[20:22] Ichika**
What?!
**[20:23] Ryo**
I had no idea that you loved
me so much, Ichika-san.
**[20:26] Ichika**
I really hate that you're
saying it like that.
**[20:29] Ryo**
And yet you love me anyway.
**[20:30] Ichika**
God, I hate to admit it, but I guess so.
**[20:38] Ryo**
I'm sorry I was avoiding you.
**[20:41] Ryo**
And thank you for chasing after me.
**[20:46] Ichika**
Ryo-san...
**[20:47] Ryo**
Yes?
**[20:49] Ichika**
Will you wait for me until I'm an adult?
**[20:57] Ryo**
Yes.
**[20:59] Ryo**
We can take all the time you need together.
**[21:06] Ryo**
And if I do anything wrong,
I want you to yell at me.
**[21:11] Ryo**
I love it when you yell at me.
**[21:14] Ichika**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[21:19] Ichika**
You're so creepy.
***SIGN*** Ichika
**[21:30] Rio**
Hello?
**[21:39] Dad**
Are you going back to your place?
**[21:40] Ryo**
I just came by to get something I forgot.
**[21:46] Ryo**
About what we discussed the other day...
**[21:48] Ryo**
I plan to wait for Ichika-san
until she's an adult.
**[21:53] Ryo**
I know that I've done plenty of things
to make you doubt my intentions,
**[21:57] Ryo**
so I understand why you'd
be against this. I get it.
**[22:01] Ryo**
But I changed when I met Ichika-san.
**[22:05] Ryo**
I plan to stay by her side
once she becomes an adult,
**[22:08] Ryo**
and I'm going to protect her
because she's precious to me.
**[22:12] Ryo**
I hope you can understand that.
**[22:16] Ryo**
Anyway, I'm going back to my place.
**[22:24] Dad**
He's so stubborn.
**[22:27] Mom**
Yes.
**[22:29] Mom**
He's just like you.
**[22:33] Ichika**
*I don't regret*
**[22:35] Ichika**
*what I did for him that day.*
**[22:47] Ichika**
*As for what I said to him that day...*
**[22:52] Ichika**
*I have nothing but regrets.*
**[23:30] Ichika**
*Because "creepy" somehow turned into "love."*
