    People of the drama club!
[00:15] Tsuu
    I want to offer my sincere thanks for your
    cooperation in the production my short film.
[00:21] Tsuu
    I want you to know I've already
    gotten permission from the school,
[00:24] Tsuu
    so you don't need to worry.
[00:25] Eiji
    I didn't expect to end up back here.
[00:34] Rin
    Senpai, the uniform looks good on you.
[00:36] Eiji
    Well, it's still embarrassing!
[00:39] Rin
    It comes with having a starring role.
[00:41] Eiji
    That's because you helped
    Tsuu-chan with the script, right?
[00:44] Eiji
    How did I end up as an actor?

    Is it the story of

[01:04] Eiji
    I see, I see!
[01:06] Rin
    It's not that! It's totally different!
[01:09] Eiji
    And, Rin, have you been
    acting kinda formal again?
[01:12] Rin
    Well, I mean... we're not going
    out just yet in the story...
[01:17] Rin
    It's kind of like getting into the role.
[01:20] Eiji
    Oh, I see.
[01:21] Eiji
    Well, I'm counting on you
    for acting advice, then, Nanakura.
[01:27] Eiji
    Man, feels kind of like
    we've gone back to the past!

[01:40] Eiji
    What exactly were we doing
    two years ago, anyway?
[01:44] Eiji
    Come to think of it, there was
    that time you were wearing
[01:48] Eiji
    that embarrassing costume
    and got called to the staff office!
[01:51] Rin
    But that never happened.
[01:56] Rin
    Stop making stories up!
[01:58] Eiji
    And then there was the time I won
    a hundred mill at the lottery
[02:01] Eiji
    and then Imp-chan and Spoiled-chan
    got me to spend it all on them!
[02:04] Rin
    More lies!
[02:06] Eiji
    Anything come to mind, Nanakura-san?
[02:10] Rin
    I wanna do the time an unfinished set
    collapsed and you shielded me from it as it fell!
[02:15] Rin
    Right now!
[02:17] Eiji
    We were talking about stuff
    from the past, though...
[02:20] Rin
    And then you said, "I would never let
    an actor get hurt by a set I built!"
[02:24] Eiji
    That sounds a little cool for me!
[02:26] Rin
    Come on, do it, do it, do it!
[02:30] Eiji
    Y'know, I don't remember you
    always being this selfish—
[02:34] Eiji
    Whoa, Nanakura, look out!
[02:35] Eiji
    Clatter clash crash!
[02:38] Rin
    Senpai... you shielded me—
[02:43] Eiji
    Yeah.
[02:45] Eiji
    I would never let an actor
    get hurt by a set I built.
[02:51] Eiji
    You keep laughing!
[02:52] Rin
    I've fallen for you!
[02:54] Eiji
    This is all fake!
[03:04] Rin
    What an amazing set!
[03:07] Rin
    It's hard to believe
    that weird senpai built this...
[03:11] Eiji
    Hey, it's the newbie.
[03:15] Eiji
    How's rehearsal going?
[03:16] Rin
    No matter how many times I check
    my lines, I still get anxious...
[03:21] Eiji
    Wanna cheat, then?
[03:27] Eiji
    Which lines have got you nervous?
[03:29] Rin
    Well... this part here.
[03:32] Eiji
    Let's take a look.
[03:37] Rin
    Are you making cue cards?
[03:40] Eiji
    And we're gonna hide them all over the set.
[03:43] Rin
    I don't know if that's a good idea...
[03:46] Eiji
    Which is why we'll keep it a secret.
[03:53] Rin
    Um... the handwriting is...
    I can't exactly make it out.
[04:00] Rin
    I think I'll keep practicing
    so I don't have to resort to this!
[04:06] Rin
    I'll rehearse until I'm confident!
[04:08] Eiji
    Sounds good!
[04:09] Eiji
    Then you won't need a cheap...
    uh, a ch-cheat in the—
[04:12] Tsuu
    And cut!
[04:14] Tsuu

    Today, I'm going to show you all

[04:31] Chef
    First, let's have my apprentice
    introduce our ingredients.
[04:34] Chef
    Huh, where did she go?
[04:39] Rin
    It's almost my turn.
[04:45] Rin
    Did Senpai put this up?
[04:47] Rin
    I told him I didn't need cue cards...
SIGN    Enjoy your stage debut!
[04:55] Rin
    He's so silly.
[04:59] Chef
    Apprentice, what were you doing there?
[05:01] Rin
    Oh, nothing much!
[05:04] Rin
    I think I'll be okay.
[05:08] Prez
    Pretty slick, Kitahama-senpai-kun.
[05:11] Eiji
    Stop it!
[05:12] Eiji
    I mean, the whole reason I wrote
    that note was to help her not stress out...
[05:17] Eiji

    might be totally embarrassing for me!

[05:53] Megu
    You too, Senpai-san... What's wrong?
[05:56] Rin
    Senpai, Megu, and Kiri-chan are here.
[06:00] Eiji
    Thank you for watching....
[06:03] Rin
    Seeing the finished product
    made him really embarrassed.
[06:06] Kiri
    He's so weird.
[06:08] Kiri
    And this is really
    Nanakura-senpai's boyfriend...?
[06:12] Eiji
    The fact that there's record
    of it on film is too much to bear...
[06:15] Eiji
    Especially considering
    the gap in our acting abilities!
[06:19] Kiri
    Good point!
SIGN    Obviously!
[06:20] Kiri
    I think her acting
    was different from usual!
[06:23] Eiji
    I know, right?! Right?!
[06:24] Kiri
    It really was!
[06:26] Both
    So amazing!
[06:28] Megu
    You two get along, huh?
[06:31] Rin
    I'm not sure, but...
[06:32] Rin
    I think because this role
    was based on my old self,
[06:35] Rin
    it might've been different than usual?
[06:38] Rin
    Well, that's my best guess!
[06:40] Megu
    You sure it's not because you were excited
[06:42] Megu
    about getting to work with Senpai-san again?

    Oh, that's cool.
[06:55] Eiji
    I'll ask Tsuu-chan about it.
[06:57] Megu
    Oh... I want one too.
[06:59] Eiji
    Sure.
[07:00] Megu
    Awesome!
[07:00] Kiri
    That's a relief... He's not that weird.
[07:04] Eiji
    I am not.
[07:05] Kiri
    Er... sorry.

[08:16] Rin
    Aw, come on, what are you saying?
[08:19] Prez
    I get the feeling it
    might be legendary already.
[08:21] Tsuu
    Not compared to how legendary it will be!
[08:25] Prez
    Hey, did Nanakura-san seem odd to you?
[08:30] Tsuu
    You think so?
[08:32] Prez
    How about it, Eiji?
[08:33] Eiji
    Huh... well... I'm not sure.
[08:40] Eiji
    See ya!

    Yeah.

    Oh...
[08:49] Tsuu
    I'll make sure they get their copies.

    Yeah, I appreciate it.
[08:57] Megu
    What's wrong?
[08:58] Megu
    Wait, you're worrying about your future, of course.
[09:01] Rin
    Yeah...
[09:02] Kiri
    You're not going to accept the offer
    from the talent agency, Nanakura-senpai?
[09:08] Rin
    I'm not sure.
[09:10] Kiri
    I... I want to see more of your acting.
[09:14] Kiri
    And being an actress
    isn't something just anybody can do!
[09:18] Kiri
    If you've been scouted,
    that's all the more reason to...
[09:23] Rin
    You've got a point...
[09:25] Rin
    I always thought it would only be a dream,
[09:29] Rin
    but now that it seems
    like it could be real...
[09:32] Rin
    I'm getting scared.
[09:35] Rin
    And I was finally going to be attending
    the same school as Senpai...

    How much longer do I have
    to keep holding back?
[09:44] Kiri
    But—
[09:45] Megu
    Whatever you end up doing,
[09:47] Megu
    you need to be the one to make the call.
[09:51] Rin
    That's cold.
[09:54] Megu
    This is a decision that will
    determine your future, Rin.

    Well, what good is getting sulky
    about it gonna do?
[10:52] Tsuu
    His only option is to accept her decision,
[10:55] Tsuu
    so the best thing to do either way
    is to face her with a smile!

    Y'know... I do realize that.

    The thing is... it'd be one thing
    if I was just waiting,

    but I'm actually getting

    Yeah, you totally are.

    I wish things really were stuck.

    I really wanna take in what
    you're going to say, Rin.
[13:39] Rin
    Senpai... I think you're...
[13:43] Rin
    Since I was a first-year, I've always...
[13:46] Rin
    I've always loved you!
[13:48] Eiji
    I love you too!
[13:50] Rin
    So fast...!
[13:52] Eiji
    I didn't want to leave you hanging!
[13:54] Rin
    I know, but...
[13:55] Eiji
    I didn't want you to wait even a second!
[13:56] Rin
    Too fast!
[13:57] Eiji

[14:02] Rin
    When did you start liking me?
[14:07] Eiji
    From the beginning, I'd say.
[14:09] Rin
    No way!
[14:11] Eiji
    Well, I loved your acting
    the first time I saw it.
[14:21] Eiji
    I thought, "I wanna see her act more."
[14:29] Eiji
    That makes me sound like just a fan...
[14:32] Eiji
    But then you got
    a role right away, remember?
[14:35] Eiji
    And I wanted to watch your practice,
    so I started dropping by the gym.
[14:42] Eiji
    After that, the pseudo harem was born.
[14:45] Rin
    Right.
[14:51] Rin
    This is so hard...
[14:54] Rin
    Come on, why do I have to pick only one?

    S-Senpai?
[15:27] Rin
    Were you watching? How long?
[15:29] Eiji
    Well... from the start?
[15:33] Rin
    Oh, no! This is so embarrassing!
[15:37] Eiji
    I mean, I knew you were having
    trouble making up your mind.
[15:41] Eiji
    And I don't blame you
    for wanting to reminisce...
[15:44] Eiji
    But now, let's head to the future!
[15:51] Rin
    Why are you here?
[15:53] Eiji
    To... reminisce a little?
[15:56] Rin
    What the heck?
[15:58] Eiji
    No, I just kinda wanted to
    drop by, honestly.
[16:02] Eiji
    I guess we were thinking the same thing.
[16:09] Rin
    I... want to stay with you, Senpai!
[16:13] Rin
    I don't care about acting
    or my dreams or any of that!
[16:19] Rin
    I wanna be with you...
[16:24] Eiji
    Okay.
[16:27] Eiji
    But it's a little too soon to give up.
[16:33] Eiji
    I figure it's up to me to make
    that dream come true.
[16:37] Eiji
    If I make my way up in the world,
[16:39] Eiji
    I'll be able to work on projects
    with you behind the scenes.
[16:43] Eiji
    That way, you won't lose a single thing.
[16:47] Eiji
    You've worked so hard for my sake...
[16:51] Eiji
    and now it's my turn.

    Tell me your dream, Senpai.
[17:14] Eiji
    My dream?
[17:15] Rin
    Yeah. I want to make
    your dream come true too.
[17:21] Rin
    Before I become an actress...
[17:25] Eiji
    Then how about a smooch...
[17:27] Eiji
    From Tsundere-chan!
[17:31] TsundeRin
    A-Are you stupid?!
[17:33] TsundeRin
    I can't do that sort of

[17:36] TsundeRin
    Y-You make the first move.
[17:38] Eiji
    Smooch!
[17:40] Eiji
    And then I want Spoiled-chan
    to let me use her lap as a pillow...
[17:46] Spoiled Rin
    Too bad! I'm gonna do it instead.
[17:51] Rin
    Wait, no!
[17:55] Rin
    I want to be the one who does it.
[18:00] Eiji
    My dream...
[18:03] Eiji
    Has to wait until I've caught up to you.

    Man, it really is cold outside!
    Let's get indoors.

    Okay.
[18:28] Rin
    I'll be looking forward to it, then.

    It's okay. I still love you.
[20:09] Eiji
    Rin...
[20:11] Eiji
    I'm so glad you waited for me.
[20:14] Eiji
    I wanna tell you... what I really
    wanted to say, way back when.
[20:18] Eiji
    It's about my dream,
    the one only you can make come true.
[20:22] Eiji
    I want us to get married!
[20:29] Rin
    Okay! I'll make it happen!
[20:35] Eiji
    Rin! I love you the most ever!
[20:37] Rin
    Right!
[20:40] Rin
    When should the ceremony be?
[20:43] Rin
    Wait, we'll need to tell
    our parents first, right?
[20:45] Eiji
    Whoa, slow down a sec...
[20:47] Rin
    Oh, I had better let
    people know I'm retiring!
[20:50] Eiji
    You're leaving me behind!

[22:11] Rin
    I didn't expect we'd be doing this here...
[22:14] Eiji
    All right, show's over! Everybody go home!
[22:16] Prez
    What are you talking about, Eiji?
    You two are the stars today.
[22:20] Megu
    Well said, Club President!
[22:22] Megu
    Rin, you have to stay dressed
    like that all day today!
[22:25] Rin
    I would really like to change!
[22:27] Tsuu
    I... I never thought
    I'd get to see the day!
[22:28] Classmate
    There, there...
[22:32] Eiji
    Okay, but why are you crying?
[22:34] Club Member B
    Look at this huge crowd!
[22:36] Club Member C
    Seriously!
[22:37] Club Member C
    But it's kind of stuffy in here.
[22:38] Kiri
    Senpai.
[22:39] Rin/Eiji
    Yes?
[22:42] Kiri
    Er... Nanakura-senpai.
[22:44] Kiri
    There's something
    I've been meaning to tell you...
[22:46] Kiri
    I was really happy
    that you continued acting.
[22:53] Rin
    Thank you.
[22:54] Rin
    You've been working hard too, Kiri-chan.
[22:56] Eiji
    Yeah, I've seen you on TV lately.
[22:59] Kiri
    Oh, no, I've still got a long way to go...
[23:03] Kiri
    Congratulations on your marriage, Senpai.
[23:07] Kiri
    Oh, you too, Kitahama-san.
[23:11] Eiji
    Me too, huh?
[23:12] Rin
    Now, now...
[23:27] Eiji
    This is...
[23:29] Rin
    Kinda...
[23:30] Both
    Like "The Beginning of a Story."
[23:38] Megu
    What?
[23:40] Prez
    What's so funny?
[23:41] Eiji
    Oh, nothing!
[23:43] Tsuu
    Man, you two really are made for each other.
[23:46] Eiji
    Ain't we, though?
[23:47] Rin
    Isn't it great?
