**[00:06] Shiori**
Jiro-kun?
**[00:07] Shiori**
Jiro-kun?
**[00:14] Jiro**
Shiori? What happened? Why are you all wet?
**[00:16] Shiori**
Jiro-kun!
**[00:21] Shiori**
I feel so alone.
**[00:23] Shiori**
Please, won't you stay with me?
**[00:27] Jiro**
Shiori.
**[00:29] Shiori**
Jiro-kun.
**[00:32] Akari**
Yakuin? Yakuin?
**[00:37] Akari**
Yakuin!
**[00:41] Jiro**
*Damn it. It turned out to be a dream again.*
**[00:43] Akari**
Come on, hurry up!
I know you're awake, Yakuin!
**[00:48] Jiro**
I can't go through this every single...
**[00:52] Akari**
Just for tonight... stay with me.
**[00:56] Jiro**
Huh?
***SIGN*** What percentage does "like" have to hit before you can call it "love"?
***SIGN*** It's criminal to be so shy
***SIGN*** Intelligence and wild fancies, tick tock, just pick a mood
***SIGN*** A drizzle from a patch of blue sky
***SIGN*** No less than supreme
***SIGN*** A maiden's heart zigzags, cute and invincible
***SIGN*** The wild ringing of bells
***SIGN*** What percentage does "like" have to hit before you can call it "love"?
***SIGN*** Hold me so tightly that I fall asleep
***SIGN*** A daydream that seems like fiction
***SIGN*** Give me a kiss that breaks the expectant silence of the play
***SIGN*** Give that indecision a tight embrace, too
***SIGN*** My heart hurts and hurts,
***SIGN*** racing unpredictably with joy and excitement
***SIGN*** It's TRUE FOOL LOVE! Hold me tight!
***SIGN*** Be brave, my darling
***SIGN*** It won't all be happy and fun
***SIGN*** It's all up to us
***SIGN*** ONCE MORE SMILE, TWICE MORE CHIME
***SIGN*** Please look my way, darling
***SIGN*** Please notice my pure love for you
**[02:32] Linda**
*Steve? Where are you?*
**[02:35] Linda**
*Come on.*
**[02:37] Linda**
*Steve?*
**[02:43] Linda**
*Steve?*
**[02:46] Linda**
*Are you in there?*
**[02:47] Linda**
*Are you all right?*
**[02:53] Jiro**
Is there really any reason to watch
horror movies so late at night?
**[02:56] Akari**
It's so we can reach A-rank.
**[02:59] Jiro**
Huh?
**[03:00] Akari**
Natsumi told me that
**[03:02] Akari**
if you watch horror movies together,
you can get a lot of points!
**[03:06] Akari**
Huh? Why'd you turn it off?
**[03:09] Jiro**
I just... don't think the
horror plan is gonna work.
**[03:12] Akari**
Stop it!
**[03:13] Jiro**
"Stop it"?
**[03:15] Akari**
We're gonna overcome the fear
together and earn some points!
**[03:18] Akari**
And then we're gonna achieve
A-rank and swap partners!
**[03:22] Akari**
You want to be paired with
Sakurazaka-san, don't you?
**[03:24] Jiro**
Well, yeah, if it's possible.
**[03:26] Akari**
Then to make the plan more effective...
**[03:29] Akari**
Wear this!
**[03:32] Akari**
I bought these at a sale!
**[03:34] Akari**
Twinsies pajamas!
**[03:35] Jiro**
No way! I can't!
**[03:37] Akari**
What? Why?
**[03:38] Jiro**
You have to ask?!
**[03:39] Akari**
It's something married
couples would do, right?
**[03:41] Akari**
Apparently, we can earn
points just by wearing them.
**[03:44] Akari**
And look! If you put them
side-by-side, it makes a heart!
**[03:47] Jiro**
I'm amazed you were able
to buy a design like that.
**[03:49] Akari**
Going overboard in every way
is exactly what we need to do.
**[03:53] Akari**
Come on. Hurry up and put it on.
**[03:55] Jiro**
Really?
**[03:57] Jiro**
* She used her own money*
* for something like this?*
**[04:00] Jiro**
*I don't get it.*
**[04:01] Jiro**
* She's been all fired up since the day*
* she went to karaoke with Tenjin.*
**[04:06] Jiro**
* Something must have happened*
* between them that night.*
**[04:10] Jiro**
*I mean, not that it matters!*
**[04:12] Jiro**
*Why am I acting like it bothers me?*
**[04:16] Jiro**
Wh-What is it?
**[04:18] Akari**
Face the other way.
I'm going to change.
**[04:21] Jiro**
What?
**[04:22] Jiro**
Here?!
**[04:24] Akari**
I'm changing now.
**[04:28] Jiro**
*Damn it. That's a gyaru for you.*
**[04:30] Jiro**
* No need to hesitate since she*
* has so much experience, I guess?*
**[04:33] Jiro**
* Well, if she's gonna be that way,*
* then fine. I'll put it on.*
**[04:36] Jiro**
* She probably doesn't even*
* count me as a man, anyway.*
**[04:46] Jiro**
A blackout?
**[04:47] Jiro**
I can't see anything.
**[04:48] Jiro**
Hey, Watanabe! Are you...
**[04:51] Jiro**
okay?
**[04:55] Jiro**
What?!
**[04:57] Jiro**
*Is this even possible?*
**[04:59] Jiro**
* Hang on. What is this... softness...*
* pressing up... against my chest...*
**[05:02] Jiro**
*Huh? What... part of her... is that?*
**[05:04] Jiro**
*Wait, this is bad!*
**[05:05] Jiro**
* If I don't move my hips back,*
* my zombie will...*
**[05:09] Jiro**
*Don't beep at me right now, damn it!*
**[05:13] Jiro**
Watanabe?
**[05:15] Jiro**
*She's so scared, and I'm just...*
**[05:19] Jiro**
Sorry. I'll get my cell phone light and—
**[05:21] Akari**
Wait!
**[05:21] Akari**
Not now!
**[05:28] Akari**
Jerk! Don't look at me
when I'm crying, you perv!
**[05:30] Akari**
Yeah, I'm scared! Got a problem with that?!
**[05:32] Akari**
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
**[05:34] Jiro**
C-Calm down! I didn't see it!
**[05:36] Jiro**
I barely saw your face at all!
**[05:42] Jiro**
It's not working.
**[05:44] Jiro**
We can't get into our rooms
until the power comes back on.
**[05:48] Akari**
Hey...
**[05:49] Akari**
If you can't fix it, then hurry
up and get back over here.
**[05:53] Jiro**
Yeah, fine.
**[05:56] Jiro**
* She's so scared, and yet*
* she's still bossing me around.*
**[05:59] Jiro**
*She really doesn't think much of me at all.*
**[06:04] Jiro**
*Though...*
**[06:04] Jiro**
* Seeing Watanabe like this is*
* super rare, so I guess it's fine.*
**[06:08] Jiro**
*Also...*
**[06:09] Jiro**
*Why is she pressed up against me?!*
**[06:11] Akari**
Hey, say something fun.
**[06:13] Jiro**
* Here come the unreasonable*
* demands of a party girl!*
**[06:16] Akari**
Come on, don't you have anything?
**[06:18] Akari**
If you can't tell a fun story or two,
girls will never like you.
**[06:22] Jiro**
*This little...*
**[06:24] Akari**
Come on. What's wrong, Killjoy-kun?
**[06:27] Jiro**
Long, long ago, in a far-off land...
**[06:30] Akari**
Seriously? A fairy tale?
**[06:33] Jiro**
There was an old well that even
the elderly couple living nearby
**[06:37] Jiro**
would never, *ever* go near.
**[06:41] Akari**
Hang on...
**[06:42] Jiro**
There was a legend about that old well.
**[06:46] Jiro**
On stormy nights, when thunder
and lightning crash...
**[06:49] Jiro**
There, beside the well,
where no one should be,
**[06:52] Jiro**
stands the ghost of a woman with long hair...
**[06:56] Jiro**
Huh? Watanabe-san? Um...
**[07:00] Jiro**
Why'd you go all quiet?
**[07:02] Jiro**
Are you going to suddenly jump
at me and scream to freak me out?
**[07:05] Jiro**
Wait, you didn't think that
was actually scary, did you?
**[07:08] Akari**
Vermin. Virgin. Go die and let the worms in.
**[07:10] Jiro**
*Her insults rhyme like she's rapping!*
**[07:14] Jiro**
Sorry.
**[07:15] Jiro**
Seeing you scared was just so
unexpected, I couldn't help it.
**[07:19] Akari**
Minami-kun wouldn't have done that.
He'd have been nice to me.
**[07:23] Jiro**
I really am sorry.
**[07:26] Akari**
But you know...
**[07:27] Akari**
There's no one else here right now but you.
**[07:33] Akari**
Would it kill you to let me
depend on you a little? Meanie.
**[07:37] Jiro**
*She's so cu—*
**[07:41] Jiro**
*That was close!*
**[07:42] Jiro**
*What was that?! What is she after?*
**[07:45] Jiro**
*Is she just messing with a virgin?!*
**[07:48] Jiro**
*My face is on fire!*
**[07:50] Jiro**
*It's gotta be bright red right now!*
**[07:52] Jiro**
*I'm so glad it's dark.*
**[07:54] Akari**
Oh! I found it!
**[07:55] Akari**
It's a flameless aromatherapy candle.
**[07:58] Jiro**
Huh?
**[07:59] Akari**
Natsumi gave it to me today.
**[08:03] (Flashback) Natsumi**
For our two-year anniversary
of hanging out together!
**[08:05] (Flashback) Natsumi**
It came in a set of three,
so it was a bargain!
**[08:13] Akari**
Oh, wow! It smells super nice!
**[08:15] Jiro**
Ugh, it's so sweet.
**[08:17] Akari**
I guess guys don't understand
stuff like this.
**[08:32] Jiro**
Watanabe.
**[08:35] Akari**
Yeah?
**[08:43] Jiro**
You're cute.
**[08:49] Jiro**
*What did I just say?*
**[08:52] Jiro**
*I've lost my mind!*
**[08:54] Jiro**
* Did she hear me?*
* She heard me, didn't she?*
**[08:57] Jiro**
*She's asleep! I'm safe!*
**[09:00] Jiro**
Seriously, though, she looks
so cute when she's asleep.
**[09:04] Jiro**
* She tried to watch a horror movie,*
* even though she doesn't like them.*
**[09:07] Jiro**
*Pushing herself so hard must've worn her out.*
**[09:10] Akari**
* Would it kill you to let me*
* depend on you a little?*
**[09:15] Jiro**
* What does it mean to let*
* someone depend on you?*
**[09:18] Jiro**
*What's it mean to be a married couple?*
**[09:21] Jiro**
Goodnight, Watanabe.
**[09:32] Akari**
Stupid. What was all that supposed to mean?
**[09:39] Jiro; Kamo**
Huh?
**[09:39] Kamo**
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

**[09:41] Kamo**
You've done pretty well there, my friend.
**[09:45] Kamo**
To think that innocent
little boy, Jiro-chan,
**[09:48] Kamo**
and a gyaru of the highest rank are
living as a B-ranked married couple.
**[09:53] Kamo**
Your mama is so happy she's gonna cry.
**[09:56] Jiro**
And what about you?
***SIGN*** Kasugahara Kyo

***SIGN*** Shingu Aoba
**[09:59] Kamo**
I'm C-ranked this time,
but it's not a problem.
**[10:01] Kamo**
I'm aiming for A-rank next time!
**[10:03] Kamo**
When you switch partners,
**[10:05] Kamo**
the points for the two of you can
be combined. It's a major bargain!
**[10:08] Kamo**
Whoa...
**[10:09] Jiro**
Watanabe...
**[10:10] Akari**
No way.
**[10:12] Akari**
E-rank?
**[10:13] Jiro**
Huh?

**[10:21] Jiro**
After that...
**[10:24] Jiro**
I couldn't stop worrying about Shiori.
**[10:28] Jiro**
But it wasn't like I could
ask her anything directly.
**[10:31] Jiro**
All I could do was vaguely wonder.
**[10:34] Jiro**
It made me a little happy that things
weren't working out with Tenjin,
**[10:40] Jiro**
but no matter how well we acted
like the perfect married couple,
**[10:42] Jiro**
or how many points we earned...
**[10:44] Jiro**
If Shiori and Tenjin weren't
A-ranked, none of it mattered.
***SIGN*** Music Room
**[11:03] Shiori**
You're really amazing, Mei-chan.
**[11:05] Shiori**
You're good at sports,
and you can play piano, too.
**[11:08] Mei**
I just played it some a
long time ago, that's all.
**[11:11] Mei**
More importantly, are you
feeling a little better?
**[11:15] Shiori**
I thought you might have noticed.
**[11:18] Mei**
Which reason is it?
**[11:19] Mei**
That he's out with a cold?
**[11:21] Mei**
Or is it about your married life?
**[11:24] Shiori**
Well...
**[11:25] Mei**
Both, huh?
**[11:27] Shiori**
When it comes to my married
life, I already know...
**[11:31] Shiori**
that it's my own fault because I'm
not good with people I don't know.
**[11:38] Jiro**
Ugh, this is such a drag.
***SIGN*** Watanabe Akari
***SIGN*** Forgot my key.
Let me in when I ring the intercom.
***SIGN*** Don't keep me waiting
**[11:46] Jiro**
All right, all right.
**[11:48] Jiro**
I'm sick here, you know...
**[11:51] (Flashback) Akari**
I'm gonna hang out with my friends today.
***SIGN*** Watanabe Akari
***SIGN*** Forgot my key.
Let me in when I ring the intercom.
***SIGN*** Don't keep me waiting
***SIGN*** You got it
**[11:54] Jiro**
* Shouldn't we be using a day*
* like this to rack up points?*
**[11:58] Jiro**
* If it were Shiori, would she*
* be kind and look after me?*
**[12:06] Shiori**
Say "ah."
**[12:09] Jiro**
*What am I, a middle-schooler?!*
**[12:12] Jiro**
*It's not for real, but we are married.*
**[12:14] Jiro**
* You could come home early for*
* me, couldn't you, Watanabe?*
**[12:20] Jiro**
Huh? For real?
**[12:24] Jiro**
*No. No, no way.*
**[12:27] Jiro**
* Why does this make me*
* feel a little bit happy?*
**[12:31] Jiro**
Y-You're back early, Watanabe...
**[12:33] Shiori**
Oh, good! You're awake!
**[12:36] Shiori**
How's your cold?
**[12:41] Jiro**
Shio—
**[12:42] Jiro**
Sakurazaka?
**[12:45] Server**
Thank you for waiting.
**[12:46] Natsumi**
The pancakes are here!
**[12:48] Natsumi**
They look tasty!
**[12:49] Sachi**
I guess we should dig in.
**[12:52] Sachi**
What's wrong, Akari?
**[12:54] Sachi**
You're the one who said you wanted these.
**[12:57] Akari**
Huh? Oh... Yeah!
**[12:59] Akari**
They look delicious.
**[13:00] Natsumi**
I bet you were thinking
about Minami-kun, right?
**[13:04] Akari**
Huh?
**[13:04] Sachi**
That's pretty much the only thing
Akari thinks about so seriously.
**[13:08] Akari**
Forget about that! Let's just eat, okay?
**[13:10] Akari; Natsumi; Sachi**
Let's eat!
**[13:13] Natsumi**
Hey, did you know? Apparently, these
pancakes are called "a prince's kiss."
**[13:18] Sachi**
What? That's hilarious.
**[13:20] Natsumi**
The texture of the edge is supposed
to be as soft as someone's lips.
**[13:27] Akari**
No, no, no! It's not like that at all!
**[13:30] Sachi**
Akari? Why are you so dead-set on denying it?
**[13:34] Natsumi**
Wait, don't tell me that
after that night at karaoke...
**[13:38] Natsumi**
You and Minami-kun went and did it?
**[13:40] Akari**
O-Of course not.
**[13:44] Akari**
*Ugh... Why am I even thinking about him?*
**[13:48] Jiro**
I was surprised, is all.
I never expected you to come over.
**[13:52] Jiro**
Thanks for buying all this stuff for me.
**[13:56] Shiori**
No, it was Watanabe-san, actually.
**[13:58] Shiori**
She said, "I have stuff to do,
so would you look after Jiro-kun?"
**[14:02] Shiori**
And I was worried, too, so here I am.
**[14:05] Jiro**
Watanabe said that?
**[14:06] Shiori**
Yeah. Should we replace
your forehead compress?
**[14:09] Jiro**
*Thank you, Watanabe!*
**[14:11] Jiro**
*Shiori really came to my room!*
**[14:15] Shiori**
Do you remember back when
we were in elementary school?
**[14:20] Shiori**
When I stayed home with a cold,
**[14:23] Shiori**
you brought me our class handouts.
**[14:26] Shiori**
You changed the cold
compress on my forehead.
**[14:29] Shiori**
It made me so happy!
**[14:33] Jiro**
I-Is that what happened?
**[14:35] Shiori**
All right, I'll put it on.
**[14:36] Shiori**
Give me your forehead.
**[14:39] Jiro**
Uh, s-sure.
**[14:42] Shiori**
Don't move, now.
**[14:45] Jiro**
*Sh-Sh-She's so cute!*
**[14:49] Server**
There. All done.
**[14:50] Jiro**
Th-Thanks.
**[14:52] Shiori**
No problem.
**[14:53] Shiori**
I'm glad to see you're doing
better than I thought.
**[14:56] Shiori**
I'm going to borrow your kitchen, okay?
**[14:58] Jiro**
Sure.
**[15:09] Jiro**
*If she does stuff like this for me...*
**[15:12] Jiro**
*I'm gonna get the wrong idea again.*
**[15:15] Jiro**
*Just like I did back then.*
**[15:17] Jiro**
In the summer of our second
year of middle school,
**[15:19] Jiro**
when Shiori had to change schools because
her dad got transferred at work,
**[15:23] Jiro**
I had intended to confess my feelings to her.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Oh, so you're transferring
to a private school.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Yeah.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Shiori, I—
**[15:33] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Say, Jiro-kun...
**[15:34] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Even if we're apart...
**[15:37] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Will you always stay my friend?
**[15:43] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Yeah. I will.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Nothing's gonna change.
**[15:50] Jiro**
I suddenly got scared, so I
chickened out on confessing to her,
**[15:55] Jiro**
but I think it was for the best in the end.
**[15:58] Shiori**
Jiro-kun?
**[16:01] Jiro**
Huh? Oh, sorry! I zoned out...
**[16:04] Shiori**
I made some rice porridge.
Do you think you can eat?
**[16:07] Jiro**
For real?
**[16:08] Shiori**
Yeah.
**[16:08] Jiro**
Yes! I'll eat it! I'll eat it
with tremendous gratitude!
**[16:12] Jiro**
*Oh, man! Shiori's cooking!*
**[16:14] Jiro**
* This is the best thing I've*
* ever tasted in my whole life!*
**[16:17] Shiori**
I'm so glad. It looks like
you're able to eat on your own.
**[16:20] Jiro**
Huh? Uh...
**[16:22] Shiori**
Say "ah"!
**[16:25] Jiro**
* Oh, crap! If I hadn't dug right in,*
* I'd have had the chance for her to feed me.*
**[16:30] Shiori**
Are you all right?
**[16:31] Jiro**
I-It's nothing.
**[16:34] Jiro**
It's so delicious, it's making me cry.
**[16:36] Shiori**
Oh, I'm so glad!
**[16:39] Jiro**
Thanks for the porridge.
**[16:40] Shiori**
I'm glad you liked it.
**[16:43] Jiro**
Must be nice to be Tenjin.
**[16:45] Jiro**
He gets to eat your cooking every day.
**[16:48] Shiori**
We take turns doing the cooking.
**[16:50] Shiori**
We rotate every day.
**[16:52] Jiro**
R-Really? Wow, Tenjin can cook, too?
**[16:56] Jiro**
No wonder Watanabe's
always squeeing over him.
**[16:58] Jiro**
My cooking is truly catastrophic,
**[17:01] Jiro**
so I just leave it all to Watanabe.
**[17:04] Jiro**
Despite how she looks,
she's really good at it.
**[17:06] Jiro**
Unexpected, right?
**[17:07] Jiro**
I mean, I do the other housework
to make up for it, though.
**[17:11] Shiori**
That's right.
**[17:13] Shiori**
Everything's going well
between you and her, huh?
**[17:17] Jiro**
Hey, um, Sakurazaka...
**[17:20] Jiro**
I saw your ranking...
**[17:22] Jiro**
and if there's anything
I can do, just say it.
**[17:25] Jiro**
I'll help you.
**[17:28] Jiro**
*Sorry, Shiori.*
**[17:30] Jiro**
* I'm pretending to be a nice guy, when*
* really, this is all for my own sake.*
**[17:35] Jiro**
*Because I want to live with you.*
**[17:38] Shiori**
Thank you, Jiro-kun.
**[17:40] Shiori**
I don't feel comfortable around boys...
**[17:43] Shiori**
I *am* trying,
**[17:46] Shiori**
but when I think about being "married,"
I can't help getting anxious,
**[17:49] Shiori**
and I put distance between us.
**[17:51] Jiro**
I see.
**[17:52] Shiori**
I also think it might have been
better if you were my husband.
**[17:59] Shiori**
Just kidding!
**[18:01] Shiori**
Watanabe-san will be coming
home soon, won't she?
**[18:04] Shiori**
I'll go wash the dishes.
**[18:06] Jiro**
It's okay!
**[18:07] Jiro**
I-I know you can do it!
**[18:09] Jiro**
You can do it, Shiori!
**[18:12] Jiro**
I've been your friend since we were little,
so I can vouch for all your good points!
**[18:16] Jiro**
So have confidence in yourself!
**[18:18] Shiori**
Th-Thank—
**[18:19] Jiro**
Sorry!
**[18:21] Jiro**
*Crap! She was totally weirded out by that!*
**[18:23] Jiro**
* Shiori was really,*
* really weirded out by that!*
**[18:26] Jiro**
* Don't get all excited and*
* lunge at her, you virgin!*
**[18:29] Jiro**
*Oh, I just want to die now.*
**[18:38] Jiro**
*And anyway...*
**[18:39] Jiro**
* Shiori only came here because*
* Watanabe asked her to.*
**[18:44] Jiro**
* And once she gets used to Tenjin,*
* things'll work out between them.*
**[18:47] Jiro**
* Once Shiori stops being*
* against the idea, I'm sure...*
**[18:54] Shiori**
Jiro-kun.
**[18:55] Shiori**
Are you asleep?
**[18:57] Shiori**
You finally called me by
my first name like I asked.
**[19:00] Shiori**
I was so happy my mind went blank.
**[19:04] Shiori**
Say, Jiro-kun...
**[19:08] Shiori**
I...
**[19:14] Sachi**
So did you hear the rumor that
Sakurazaka-san is avoiding Minami-kun?
**[19:20] Natsumi**
I hear she's popular 'cause
she's the pure, sweet type.
**[19:23] Natsumi**
And it seems like she's not
comfortable talking to guys.
**[19:26] Sachi**
But Akarin and Killjoy-kun seem to
be getting along pretty well, right?
**[19:29] Sachi**
Maybe they've already done it.
**[19:31] Natsumi**
No way. Virgin-kun could never go that far.
**[19:35] Natsumi**
I'm more worried about Minami-kun.
**[19:37] Natsumi**
She won't go near him now, but it'll
be dangerous once she's used to him.
**[19:40] Natsumi**
Sakurazaka-san's cute, after all.
**[19:42] Natsumi**
If she makes a move with that face...
**[19:44] Sachi**
Oh...
**[19:45] Natsumi**
What're you gonna do, Akari?
**[19:46] Natsumi**
Your husband's gonna get taken away.
**[19:49] Akari**
Yeah.
**[19:52] Akari**
Maybe.
**[19:59] Shiori**
I shouldn't... right?
**[20:02] Shiori**
We aren't married, so how could I?
**[20:05] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Will you always stay my friend?
**[20:09] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Yeah. I will.
**[20:12] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Nothing's gonna change.
**[20:15] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Oh, I'm so relieved!
**[20:17] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
The place we're moving to
isn't that far away,
**[20:21] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
and I want to come back here sometimes.
**[20:24] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
You know how the Christmas lights around
the train station are really pretty?
**[20:29] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
So I was thinking I'd like to
see them again this year.
**[20:32] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
And, um... if you wouldn't mind, Jiro-kun...
**[20:37] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Shiori...
**[20:37] (Flashback) Middle School Jiro**
Sorry. I just remembered something
I have to do, so I'm gonna go.
**[20:42] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
Sure.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Middle School Shiori**
I'll see you later.
**[20:46] Shiori**
* Back then, I thought "later"*
* would never come.*
**[20:51] Shiori**
*But...*
**[20:53] Shiori**
If I tried my hardest again,
**[20:55] Shiori**
would he hear me out to the end this time?
**[21:03] Akari**
I'm back.
**[21:09] Natsumi**
*What're you gonna do, Akari?*
**[21:11] Natsumi**
*Your husband's gonna get taken away.*
**[21:17] Akari**
Okay!
**[21:18] Jiro**
Watanabe?
**[21:19] Akari**
Where'd you come from?!
**[21:20] Akari**
You scared me!
**[21:22] Jiro**
S-Sorry. Um, I just wanted
to talk for a minute.
**[21:26] Akari**
What do you mean?
Are you feeling better already?
**[21:29] Jiro**
Uh, yeah. Thanks to you.
**[21:32] Jiro**
Shiori—um, Sakurazaka came over
because you asked her to, right?
**[21:39] Akari**
I just thought that Virgin-kun would
need someone to play mama for him.
**[21:44] Jiro**
I'm...
**[21:45] Jiro**
gonna do my best to be
your husband, Watanabe.
**[21:47] Akari**
Huh?
**[21:49] Jiro**
I'll do even more to help you out so that
things work out between you and Tenjin.
**[21:54] Jiro**
For now, even though it was super
brief, I got to live a nice dream.
**[21:58] Jiro**
Thanks.
**[22:00] Jiro**
I'll be going to school tomorrow,
so I'm going to bed now.
**[22:03] Jiro**
Goodnight.
**[22:08] Akari**
Well, that's great, right?
**[22:12] Akari**
So...
**[22:14] Akari**
why do I feel so annoyed about it?
***SIGN*** In this moment when I've deceived you on a cosmic scale
***SIGN*** I want to give love a try
***SIGN*** In this night when everything begins to overflow
***SIGN*** I match my stride to yours
***SIGN*** The clock hands stop, charmed by a fleeting curse
***SIGN*** The answers always slip away
***SIGN*** All I want is to do it over again
***SIGN*** If I did, would this unsettling gloom inside me disappear?
***SIGN*** I want to know where my heart is hiding
***SIGN*** One day this will end
***SIGN*** I know that
***SIGN*** And I know the signs of discord
***SIGN*** Turn them inside out
***SIGN*** Don't let them pile up
***SIGN*** I don't want things to stay unfinished like this
***SIGN*** In this moment when I've deceived you on a cosmic scale
***SIGN*** I want to give love a try
***SIGN*** Everything begins to overflow
***SIGN*** On this day when we don't know how much time is left to us
***SIGN*** I want your thoughts to drift toward me fondly, again and again
**[23:50] Mei**
Sakurazaka Shiori is a pain in the neck.
**[23:53] Mei**
All she does is fret over Yakuin.
**[23:55] Mei**
Why would she ask me anything? I don't care.
**[23:58] Mei**
But when our conversation was done,
her reenergized expression
**[24:02] Mei**
was really cute.
**[24:04] Mei**
So I guess it's all good.
***SIGN*** Next Time
***SIGN*** Broken Up, and Not Rekindled.
**[24:06] Akari**
Next time,
**[24:07] Akari**
"Broken Up, and Not Rekindled."
