**[00:08] Gran**
Hime-chan?
**[00:09] Him**
Yes?
**[00:11] Gran**
I bought some dorayaki from Umezono.
Let's have them with some with tea—
**[00:15] Gran**
What are you up to?
**[00:18] Him**
I was cleaning up and I found
these old New Years' cards.
**[00:21] Him**
It just reminded me of the past.
**[00:23] Gran**
You don't say.
**[00:27] Gran**
Oh, I'm surprised this
one ever made it here.
***SIGN*** Hime-chan
**[00:33] Him**
Right?
**[00:35] Him**
It's from Nao-chan.
**[00:37] ---**
Oh, my...
**[00:38] Him**
And she didn't even write
"Happy New Year" on the card.
**[00:41] Gran**
Huh? What is this?
***SIGN*** Thank you for yesterday. -Naruse Family, Naoko
**[00:43] Gran**
It says, "Thank you for yesterday."
**[00:46] Him**
What is this?
**[00:48] Him**
I can't remember.
**[00:50] Him**
I guess I'll ask her about it
tomorrow, in school.
**[00:53] Gran**
Who could that be?
**[00:55] Him**
I'll get it.
**[00:57] Him**
Coming!
**[00:59] Him**
Huh?
**[01:04] Him**
Nao-chan? What's going on?
**[01:06] Nao**
Humble apologies for this
sudden intrusion,
**[01:09] Nao**
but could I please spend the night?
**[01:12] Nao**
I got into a fight with my mother,
**[01:14] Nao**
so I stormed out and left a note
saying I'd stay at Hime-chan's...
**[01:18] Him**
Why don't you come in first?
**[01:20] Him**
You came at the right time.
***SIGN*** My Paradise
**[02:56] Nao**
Oh, the New Year's card
I gave you in second grade?
**[02:59] Nao**
You were back home during that time,
**[03:01] Nao**
so I came over and put it
in the mailbox myself.
**[03:03] Him**
So what does this "Thank
you for yesterday'"mean?
**[03:06] Nao**
Oh, that.
**[03:09] Nao**
Thank you so much for that!
**[03:11] Him**
So you remember?
**[03:13] Nao**
I'll remember it until the day I die.
**[03:15] Him**
What is it? What did I do for you?
**[03:19] Nao**
Well, that...
**[03:20] Him**
Uh-huh?
**[03:21] Nao**
...is a secret.
**[03:23] Him**
Stop teasing me!
**[03:25] Nao**
But explaining it would be so embarrassing.
**[03:28] Him**
Come on. Don't say that. Please?
**[03:30] Him**
I'm letting you stay the night.
**[03:34] Nao**
Fine, then. Find me a Chinese bell flower
**[03:36] Nao**
around Kokei Park, and I'll tell you.
**[03:39] Him**
Really?
**[03:41] Nao**
You can sometimes find them
growing along this street.
**[03:44] Him**
A Chinese bell flower, huh? Got it!
**[03:48] Him**
It's chilly.
**[03:50] Him**
I'm not finding any, Nao-chan!
**[03:53] Him**
I don't think there will be any.
**[03:55] Nao**
Good! It's better for me
if you don't find one.
**[03:58] Him**
I'll find one!
**[03:59] Him**
Now I'm committed!
**[04:01] Him**
So these flowers are purple or
white star-shaped flowers, right?
**[04:06] Nao**
That's it.
**[04:07] Him**
Bell flower... Bell flower...
**[04:10] Him**
Now that I think about it,
**[04:12] Him**
those flowers are only around until
September. I'll never find one!
**[04:15] Nao**
Don't worry! You can still find one.
**[04:18] Nao**
In fact, you already passed
a spot that has them.
**[04:21] Him**
Really?
***SIGN*** Gohei Mochi
**[04:23] Nao**
There are more further up, too,
**[04:25] Nao**
but based on how you're currently doing,
you won't find those, either.
**[04:28] Him**
Oh, where are they?
**[04:33] Him**
Huh?
**[04:34] Him**
Wait, are you talking about these?
**[04:36] Nao**
Aw shucks, you found it.
**[04:39] Him**
Come on! You didn't mean the real thing.
**[04:42] Nao**
You figured it out, bravo!
**[04:44] Nao**
Then I guess I have no choice.
I have to tell you the truth.
**[04:47] Him**
Yay!
**[04:48] Nao**
Incidentally, they have these
in colored versions too.
**[04:51] Nao**
And a bunch of different ones, too
***SIGN*** Fire Hydrant
***SIGN*** Water Supply Air Valve
**[04:53] Nao**
You should try to find
them if you're bored.
**[04:55] Him**
Okay.
**[05:06] Nao**
Since I was in kindergarten, a lot
of people said I was a weird kid.
**[05:12] Him**
Oh, I see.
**[05:13] Nao**
My dad was always buying
Showa mangas and animes,
**[05:16] Nao**
CDs, LDs, VHDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays.
**[05:21] Him**
I didn't get a lot of that, but okay.
**[05:23] Nao**
Then he was always buying these soft vinyl
monster toys of all shapes and sizes.
**[05:26] Nao**
My mom finally stopped him
when he tried to buy a
**[05:29] Nao**
one-meter-long space ship.
**[05:33] Nao**
Since I was also into that
stuff in kindergarten,
**[05:37] Nao**
I didn't really have anything
to talk about with the other kids.
**[05:41] Him**
I can see that.
**[05:42] Nao**
And there I was, a second-grader
all alone on New Years Eve,
**[05:46] Nao**
when you came and talked to me.
**[05:49] Him**
Is that what happened?
**[05:50] Nao**
It is!
**[05:53] Nao**
And you've been my angel ever since.
**[05:56] Him**
Huh? So, what did I say?
**[06:08] Him**
The wind is really cold!
**[06:11] Nao**
You didn't say anything
particularly unusual.
**[06:14] Nao**
You looked at the pottery piece I made
during the hands-on pottery class
**[06:16] Nao**
in the fall of second grade and you said,
**[06:18] Nao**
"Wow, what is this? This is really cool!"
**[06:20] Him**
Oh!
**[06:21] Nao**
Do you remember?
**[06:23] Him**
Wait, was it that cup with the
spiral cut out on the side?
**[06:27] Nao**
That's it!
**[06:29] Nao**
I'm so happy you remembered!
**[06:34] Nao**
I was about to throw it out
since we were cleaning the house.
**[06:38] Him**
But why?
**[06:41] Nao**
First, I wanted to make
a coffee cup for my mom.
**[06:44] Nao**
She really likes coffee.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Girl**
I'm going to make a kitty!
**[06:51] (Flashback) girl**
What about you?
**[06:53] (Flashback) Girl2**
I was thinking I'd make a...
**[06:55] Nao**
I'd made it too big, and I was
wondering what to do with it.
**[07:02] Nao**
Then I remember this yarn bowl I'd seen in
one of my mother's handicraft magazines.
**[07:07] Him**
What's a yarn bowl?
**[07:10] Nao**
A container where you can put a
yarn ball in and feed the yarn
**[07:14] Nao**
through the cutout so the
ball doesn't roll all over.
**[07:18] Him**
So that's what that was!
**[07:22] Nao**
Once it was fired though, everybody
started saying stuff...
**[07:24] (Flashback) Boy**
You can't drink from that!
**[07:26] (Flashback) Girl**
That's no good.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Kid**
Why'd you make it like that?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Kid**
That's so useless.
**[07:34] Nao**
I should've just told them that
it was a bowl for holding yarn,
**[07:39] Nao**
but I didn't really have the courage.
**[07:40] Nao**
And hearing all that made
me think it was useless, too.
**[07:46] Nao**
I took it home,
but I didn't show it to anyone...
**[07:50] Nao**
Then on our house-cleaning day I snuck out,
**[07:54] Nao**
trying to secretly hide it in the trash...
**[08:08] (Flashback) Him**
What's that?
**[08:12] (Flashback) Him**
That's so cool!
**[08:13] (Flashback) Nao**
Hime-chan...
**[08:14] (Flashback) Him**
And that color is really cute.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Him**
This curly part here reminds
me of a cat's tail.
**[08:21] (Flashback) Him**
Did you make this?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Nao**
Yeah.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Him**
Wow, you're really good!
**[08:27] (Flashback) Nao**
I don't know...
**[08:28] (Flashback) Him**
You really are!
**[08:32] Nao**
You were the only one who didn't reject
what I made, and even praised it.
**[08:37] Him**
I see.
**[08:39] Nao**
That's right.
**[08:46] Him**
That's so pretty!
**[08:48] Nao**
It is.
**[08:50] Nao**
Hime-chan, you know?
**[08:52] Him**
Huh?
**[08:54] Nao**
You're like Mino ware.
**[08:56] Him**
Sorry, but I don't really get that analogy.
**[08:59] Nao**
There's this open-mindedness to Mino ware
**[09:03] Nao**
that accepts you,
no matter who you are.
**[09:07] Him**
Really?
**[09:09] Nao**
Really.
**[09:10] Him**
I see.
**[09:11] Nao**
Exactly.
**[09:16] Nao**
It's a slumber party!
**[09:18] Him**
Should I turn off the light?
**[09:19] Nao**
It's up to you.
**[09:23] Him**
So let's hear it.
**[09:25] Him**
Let's hear your romantic secrets.
**[09:27] Nao**
There are none of those.
**[09:29] Nao**
Why, do you have some?
**[09:30] Him**
Not right now.
**[09:32] Nao**
I figured.
**[09:34] Him**
Hey, what is that supposed to mean?
**[09:37] Him**
Looks like you get the tickle punishment!
**[09:41] Nao**
I give up! I give up! I give up!
**[09:49] Nao**
Was it in kindergarten that we first met?
**[09:53] Him**
It must have been one of the times when
I came back here for Obon or New Years.
**[09:58] Nao**
I mean, we knew each other by sight
since we lived next to each other,
**[10:01] Nao**
but since I was so shy, I was
probably hard to approach.
**[10:06] Him**
I might have thought that
you had an odd feel.
**[10:09] Nao**
But you still came and talked to me.
**[10:12] Him**
I think that's because you were some
kind of wonderland or paradise.
**[10:18] Nao**
Huh? I've never heard that before.
**[10:21] Him**
That must have been back in first grade.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Him**
I'm going to go buy juice, grandma!
**[10:30] (Flashback) Gran**
Watch out for traffic!
**[10:32] (Flashback) Him**
I will! Be back soon!
**[10:38] Him**
I was home for Obon,
**[10:40] Him**
and you came out dressed like an explorer.
**[10:43] Him**
I was wondering what that was about.
**[10:45] Nao**
That might have happened...
**[10:47] Nao**
My somewhat cringey past...
**[10:50] Him**
But I was interested, so I followed you.
**[10:54] Him**
Quietly.
**[10:55] Nao**
Really?
**[11:20] Him**
And then, you into the yard
of an abandoned house.
**[11:24] Nao**
The kind of thing good boys and girls
aren't supposed to do.
**[11:28] Him**
You attached ears and eyebrows
to a broken down car.
**[11:37] Him**
You turned it into a cream-colored koala.
**[11:40] Nao**
I don't remember that at all.
**[11:43] Nao**
Probably because I was always
doing stuff like that.
**[11:52] Him**
Whatever comes out of you is always
something I completely lack.
**[11:57] Him**
I like that feeling.
**[12:00] Nao**
That's... good.
**[12:03] Nao**
Well, you're the only person with
whom I can really let my guard down.
**[12:06] Him**
Really?
**[12:08] Nao**
Well, you're the only one
who is honestly surprised
**[12:12] Nao**
or bewildered when I do my weird stuff.
**[12:17] Him**
So...
**[12:18] Nao**
Yeah?
**[12:19] Him**
That yarn bowl?
**[12:21] Him**
Did you end up giving it to your mother?
**[12:24] Nao**
Yes.
**[12:25] Him**
And was she happy?
**[12:27] Nao**
I don't remember...
**[12:29] Nao**
But she does still use it now and then.
**[12:32] Him**
Really?
**[12:35] Him**
Then I'm glad.
**[12:37] Nao**
Huh?
**[12:38] Him**
That I was able to meet you, and be honest.
**[12:46] Nao**
I see... You're right.
**[12:56] [Messenger] purp**
I'll prepare breakfast
OK
**[12:56] [Messenger] green**
Sorry about today.
**[12:56] [Messenger] purp**
I'll prepare breakfast
OK
**[12:56] [Messenger] green**
Sorry about today.
Goodnight.
