[00:15] Mitsumi     We have an English quiz today,     so I'll do some review. [00:18] Mitsumi     Oh, right. I should get fresh water for     the flowers Satou-san brought, too. [00:24] Mitsumi     Yes, an excellent start!     Today is sure to be a great day! [00:28] Narumi     Oh, good morning, Iwakura-san. [00:31] Mitsumi     It's Kanechika-senpai. [00:33] (Flashback) Narumi     How cultured! [00:35] Narumi     Perfect timing. [00:36] Narumi     I wanted to ask you about that guy in your— [00:39] Mitsumi     I'm sorry! [00:40] Mitsumi     I'm flattered you said I could     be a memorable star actor [00:43] Mitsumi     and asked me to join your club, [00:45] Mitsumi     but I have a different purpose in life... [00:48] Narumi     When did I say all that? [00:51] Narumi     Ah, I see. That's too bad. [00:54] Narumi     But I hope you can fulfill     your purpose in life. [00:57] Mitsumi     Thank you very much. [00:59] Narumi     Still, without you in our club,     our future is bleak indeed. [01:03] Mitsumi     I-I'd be happy to help in any way I can! [01:06] Narumi     Really? That'd be great! [01:09] Narumi     This girl's a pushover. I worry for her. [02:42] Narumi     Let's get right to watching this video, then. [02:47] Mitsumi     An old TV show? [02:49] Narumi     Yeah. [02:50] Narumi     It went up against a super-hit show in the     same time slot and lost the ratings battle, [02:55] Narumi     but it was a simple, good show,     and it still has plenty of hardcore fans. [02:58] Mitsumi     Huh... But what does it have to... [02:59] Tv     Can I come hang out tomorrow? [03:02] Mitsumi     Sh... Shima-kun?! [03:04] Mitsumi     Wow! He was so cute! [03:04] Narumi     You noticed? [03:06] Mitsumi     Look at his big, round eyes!     He's like an angel! [03:06] Narumi     He played Kanade-kun,     the lead's best friend. [03:07] Mitsumi     Wait, what is Shima-kun doing there? [03:09] Narumi     He appears in most episodes and     is really... Are you listening? [03:10] Mitsumi     He's so tiny! And cute! [03:13] Narumi     What do you think of his acting? [03:16] Mitsumi     I'm no expert, [03:19] Mitsumi     but I think it's good. [03:21] Narumi     Yeah, he is good. [03:21] Sousuke     Why are you always like this, Mom?! [03:23] Narumi     It's remarkable enough that he could express     such a range of emotions at that age, [03:27] Narumi     but he also did it while understanding     the context of the scene. [03:29] Narumi     Really smart. [03:31] Narumi     Iwakura-san... No, Mitsumi-kun! [03:34] Narumi     Could you convince Shima-kun     to join the drama club? [03:37] Mitsumi     What?! [03:38] Mitsumi     I don't know about that... [03:40] Narumi     You two are close, right? [03:42] Narumi     Please help me! I can't     get through to him at all!

SIGN    English Quiz [04:23] Mitsumi     Wait, wait. [04:24] Mitsumi     He was on TV, right? [04:26] Mitsumi     If I were him, I would've     bragged about it in my self-intro. [04:31] Mitsumi     But since he didn't mention it, [04:33] Mitsumi     maybe he doesn't want anyone to know. [04:36] Mitsumi     Given that... [04:37] Mitsumi     I saw your little show. SIGN    Heh heh... [04:39] Mitsumi     So, why aren't you joining     the drama club, again? SIGN    Heh heh... [04:43] Mitsumi     I can't bring it up!     It'd be tactless as all hell!

[05:35] Mitsumi     Why are you here? [05:36] Sousuke     The boys are playing soccer over there. [05:38] Sousuke     I came here to drink some water,     and then I saw you. [05:41] Sousuke     So, what happened to you? [05:42] Mitsumi     I got hit in the face by a volleyball. [05:44] Sousuke     What? You okay? [05:46] Mitsumi     Yeah, the nosebleed stopped immediately. [05:47] Mitsumi     Oh, is this my chance to ask him? [05:50] Mitsumi     Let's try slipping it in casually. [05:53] Mitsumi     Did you watch that TV show yesterday? [05:55] Sousuke     Nope. Was there something good on? [05:58] Mitsumi     Heh. I didn't watch it either. [06:02] Sousuke     You've been acting weird today.     Is something wrong? [06:10] Mitsumi     Sorry, the thing is... [06:13] Sousuke     I see now. [06:14] Sousuke     Senpai's up to his tricks, huh? [06:17] Mitsumi     Oh, but don't be too mad at him. [06:19] Mitsumi     I did think he was being a little pushy, [06:22] Mitsumi     but it felt like Kanechika-senpai's just     trying to do whatever he can for his club. [06:28] Sousuke     Well, it's not a big deal. [06:31] Sousuke     It was gonna get out eventually. [06:33] Sousuke     And people who went to my middle school,     like Mukai, already know anyway. [06:37] Mitsumi     Oh, huh. [06:38] Sousuke     With all due respect to Senpai,     I don't wanna act anymore. [06:42] Sousuke     I did give it my all back then,     not because I found it fun... [06:48] Sousuke     but because it made my mom happy. [06:54] Sousuke     How about you? [06:55] Sousuke     What made you come to Tokyo     to try to join the government? [06:59] Sousuke     That thing you said was a joke, right?     About being born to lead or whatever. [07:03] Mitsumi     Forget about that already! [07:05] Mitsumi     Well, my hometown's a great place.     Beautiful landscape and ocean views. [07:11] Mitsumi     But it's pretty badly underpopulated. [07:14] Mitsumi     I could have stayed there and helped, [07:17] Mitsumi     but Japan's full of places like that, right? [07:21] Mitsumi     If I can, I want to tackle     the problem at its core. [07:26] Mitsumi     I mean, I'm like my     hometown's biggest prodigy! [07:30] Sousuke     You don't need to laugh it off.     I think that's a great goal. [07:37] Mitsumi     Thanks. I'll do my best. [07:39] Sousuke     Great. [07:41] Sousuke     You and Kanechika-senpai are amazing. [07:44] Mitsumi     Nah, I'm really just doing it for myself. [07:48] Sousuke     But putting your goal out there means     dealing with hopes and expectations, right? [07:55] Sousuke     I couldn't handle it,     pathetic as it may sound. [08:03] Mitsumi     I... [08:04] Mitsumi     I nearly let the pressure get to me, too! [08:08] Sousuke     Really? [08:09] Mitsumi     Really! [08:10] Mitsumi     I was so afraid of failing my entrance     exams, I couldn't even eat for a while! [08:14] Mitsumi     I would've lost my mind     if it weren't for Fumi!

[08:53] (Flashback) Mitsumi     There's nothing worth celebrating if I fail. [08:55] (Flashback) Fumino     Hah! In society's eyes, maybe. [08:58] (Flashback) Fumino     But having taken up the challenge     will be worth a whole lot to you, [09:02] (Flashback) Fumino     and to me, too, because     I know how hard you're trying.

[10:25] Mitsumi     Yes, but I can't tell you.     A good friend wouldn't do that. [10:30] Narumi     Let him know he's always welcome     if he ever changes his mind!

[20:25] Tokiko     Sometimes, I do think about the what-ifs, [20:29] Tokiko     but I've come to enjoy my high school life. [20:32] Tokiko     You never find out where you made the best     use of your time until much later in life. [20:39] Tokiko     So ultimately, I think what matters     is to decide how you spend it yourself. [20:45] Segawa     Takamine! [20:47] Segawa     I brought your stupid paperwork! [20:49] Segawa     The soccer team's achievements     over the past few years! [20:51] Segawa     Member count!     All the data you could ever want! [20:54] Segawa     Well? You can't complain now! [20:55] Tokiko     I certainly cannot. [20:57] Tokiko     I'll go through this today     and take it into account. [21:00] Tokiko     Is it okay if I get back to you     tomorrow or the day after? [21:03] Segawa     You sure? [21:04] Tokiko     Hmm? Of course. [21:06] Tokiko     This data is very well organized. [21:09] Tokiko     Did you do this yourself, Segawa-san? [21:13] Segawa     Yeah, I did! [21:15] Segawabud     Huh? [21:16] Segawa     Don't just start smiling     at me out of nowhere! [21:18] Segawabud     Segawa? [21:21] Tokiko     Where does he find all that energy? [21:25] Tokiko     Anyway, I'll see you in the student     council office sometime. [21:29] Mitsumi     Takamine-senpai really is wonderful. [21:32] Sousuke     Yeah, she's cool. [21:34] Sousuke     But, hey, you heard her. [21:37] Sousuke     You should do things your own way. [21:40] Mitsumi     But I want to stick to this     after all the time I spent on it. [21:45] Sousuke     Yeah, but sticking to a method that     you know isn't gonna work for you? [21:48] Sousuke     That's the definition of a waste of time. [21:52] Mitsumi     So cold! [21:53] Mitsumi     Your logic is so cold, Shima-kun! [21:56] Sousuke     Huh? Yikes, sorry! [21:57] Sousuke     I wasn't trying to be a jerk! [21:59] Mitsumi     C-Cold, but true... [22:00] Sousuke     Listen, you've got things going for you! [22:03] Sousuke     You've got your own pace,     your own style of doing things.
