Original subtitles

Sorry for troubling you two. Narumi-kun. Taira-kun.

Not at all. It's no trouble.

But, Takayuki, don't you have work?

Shinji!

Today, Suzumiya Haruka will be discharged from Keiyakisougo Hospital.

Congratulations!

Good for you, Haruka.

Narumi Takayuki

You have reached the answering service.

Please leave your message after the beep.

Don't forget to come to the hospital for a check-up every week.

Of course. Thank you for everything.

Okay.

Shinji, what's the matter?

Hurry and get in.

What were you doing just now?

Looks like we're behind schedule.

Mom is waiting.

She made all your favorite foods and is waiting for you.

Stop.

Onee-chan?

Haruka?

Haruka!

What is it?

Just now...

Takayuki.

Switch on your phone.

What is it all of a sudden?

Hayase Mitsuki

Mitsuki...

She said that she'll be leaving town for a while.

You have one new message.

Takayuki.

I'll fulfill my promise one day.

So, let me keep this ring a while longer.

Mitsuki...

I thought I saw Mitsuki on the hospital rooftop a moment ago.

She said that she was sorry for all the trouble she caused me.

You don't have to hold it back.

A person who can't hold their friends dear, can never hold anyone dear.

And...

...those who can't be happy for their friends being held dear, will never feel happy.

Mitsuki is a friend more dear to us than anyone.

Those tears mean that Mistuki has a dear friend in you.

A dear...

Hiiragichou Station

Am I early?

Picture Book Artists Exhibit

I hope he comes soon.

Takayuki-kun.

Hello?

Morning, Haruka.

Takayuki-kun?

Who did you think it was?

What's wrong, Haruka?

I just woke up, so I was surprised.

Just woke up?

No.

I told you that she was still sleeping.

Why is Akane with you?

Don't tell me...

Looks like she's awake.

Takayuki-kun, you're early!

You don't have to rush.

But...

Haruka!

Onee-chan!

Are you okay?

Do you feel pain anywhere?

I'm fine.

Thank god.

Be careful.

Yeah. Thank you, Takayuki-kun.

It's great that you two are intimate, but please think about where you are.

I'm off.

She has club activities even on Sundays.

Yeah, the swim club.

What's wrong?

Lately, her time hasn't been improving.

Every night, she helps me study for the Hakuryo entrance exam.

I wonder if that's the cause.

It might be my fault that she can't devote herself to her training.

I don't think it is.

Akane-chan knows the situation.

I'm sure she knows how to manage her time.

But...

She's got this far because she can do it, right?

You have to trust her.

That's why I feel she's able to help with your studies.

Shall we get going?

It's okay. Don't worry.

You did well today.

Because you're here for me.

Let's give it our all.

You have to get well quickly.

Then, let's go shopping.

Haruka, you go on this side.

Just a bit more. Shall we go?

What's wrong?

Is there something you want?

Ah, no.

Sorry. Let's go.

Lately, the air-conditioner has been acting up.

I was thinking of getting a fan.

Study Materials Section

Is this it?

Here.

Thanks.

We've done this before.

There.

The picture book.

This one? No?

No. I mean, yes.

That's the one, but...

I'm sorry.

Thank you very much.

You ran away just like that.

Because, we didn't even know each other then.

I was traumatized by that.

I was wondering how much I was hated.

You got it wrong. I never expected it to be you.

But even then...

Sorry.

But, I was really surprised by that back then.

I was confused. And I didn't know what was going on.

Because...

I started to fall in love with you around then.

Okay, I got it.

There's a sunfish this big here!

C'mon, let's go.

How adorable!

Takayuki-kun!

I came here with Mitsuki before.

After your accident...

...I lost all care for everything.

My exams, everything. I didn't care about anything.

But what she did for me...

Mitsuki held me up.

She gave up her swimming, her dreams.

It was because of Mistuki that I managed to escape from ruin.

Here.

Thank you.

Say, Takayuki-kun.

Do you love Mitsuki?

Do you love Mitsuki?

Yeah, I do.

I love her too.

I'm sorry for making you worry.

Be at ease.

Haruka...

Your phone is ringing.

I wonder who could it be.

Hello?

Oh, manager?

Yes, I'm on the night shift tonight.

You want me to start my shift early?

I'll be fine.

Sorry, but I can't go right now.

I'll be there in half an hour, no, make that an hour. Is that okay?

Yes.

Okay, goodbye.

I'm sorry, Takayuki-kun.

It's the natural thing to do.

Besides, it's because of Daikuuji.

Come to think of it, have I ever told you about Daikuuji?

But, your work.

Work is work. Haruka is Haruka.

What's most important to me right now is, without a doubt, Haruka.

Takayuki-kun.

Don't worry.

I'll call you later then.

Have a safe trip.

Takayuki-kun...

This way!

Wait up, Shinji!

Takayuki-kun...

Yes?

I'm home.

Akane. Welcome back.

Are you checking your answers?

Let me see...

Yeah, that looks good.

Do you have any parts which you don't understand?

I'm okay. Sorry for all the trouble.

I know you're busy with school and club activities.

Don't worry about me.

It allows me to revise too. Killing two birds with one stone.

Thanks.

Oh yeah. I bumped into Narumi-san on the way back.

He's working till so late. He's sure a workaholic.

He went out with me today even though he's got work.

I'm still scared to go to town by myself, so I'm grateful.

But, Takayuki-kun helps me despite being so busy.

He looks for gaps in his work schedule to find time for you.

You're really loved, aren't you?

Don't exaggerate.

It's not something any man can do, I feel.

No, no. It's something that lovers would want to hide, right?

You're too much, Akane.

But, Narumi-san sure has changed.

He comes here almost everyday since you've been discharged.

He looks like he's working hard too.

Like, he's even cooler than before.

Onee-chan?

Onee-chan!

What's wrong?

My mind wandered off for a moment there.

Are you okay? Don't overwork yourself.

Right on time again today.

Here.

Thanks.

I don't want to intrude, so I'll go now.

But, don't stay on the phone too long.

Ooh, it's so hot.

Quit playing, Akane.

Hello? Haruka speaking.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then.

Call immediately if anything happens.

Of course.

Then, Takayuki-san. Please take care of Haruka.

Of course. We're going now then.

How is it, Takayuki-san?

It's really good.

It might be even better than my steak.

Aww, don't be like that.

But, I'm happy even if it's a lie.

Okasan, can we switch seats?

Why?

Just because. C'mon.

Another round, Takayuki-kun?

Sure.

My house only has ladies, so it's a little boring drinking alone all the time.

Doesn't Okasan join you once in a while?

It's my dream to have a male drinking partner.

Oh, sorry.

My, my.

Man, this is great.

Here, a toast.

Sure.

Cheers!

That's good!

The liquor Takayuki-kun brought is really something else.

Sheesh, Dad!

Takayuki-kun, feel free to come over for drinks any time.

Sure, I'll be glad to.

Hey, your glass is empty.

Thanks.

Love is Like the Simmering Air

It's not your fault.

You always do everything you can for me.

Then, why do you want to break up?

I wanted to take everything from you.

Wanting that kind of love...

That's a big yawn.

Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep.

Well, I don't blame you since you're so busy with work.

I'll make up for it.

Oh yeah, are you able to go out tomorrow?

What about your work?

Ah, I have the day off.

So, can you?

I'm sorry...

Why?

I have to go to the hospital tomorrow.

Oh, I see.

Are you free after that?

Yeah, I think it'll be fine by then.

Haruka, can I go with you to the hospital tomorrow?

You tell me not to worry about you, and I'm always busy with work.

But, I have the day off tomorrow. Can I?

It's not that you can't.

But, it's boring waiting for your turn.

Then, you must be bored all the time.

However, don't get too distracted if I go.

Is it really okay for you?

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been to the hospital. I wonder if everyone is doing well.

Long time no see.

Ah, your girlfriend is having her examination today?

Yes.

Are you taking good care of her?

Of course.

Looks good.

Thank god.

Your daily life good as well?

Narumi-kun is with you today, isn't he?

Am I wrong?

No. I was going to refuse his offer, but he came because he was worried.

He's trying his best too.

He wanted to make as much time as possible for you.

You're really loved.

Takayuki-kun holds me very dear.

Very...

Thank you for that.

We're done for today.

Just do it like how you're doing it now and don't overwork yourself.

Take it easy and take things slowly.

I will.

Thank you.

How did it go?

Everything is fine.

Thank god.

Having your health is everything, isn't it?

Yes.

Let's do what you've planned next.

See you then.

Okay.

They're doing rather well.

Shiratsuka Station?

This is...

Would you like to go there for a bit?

But...

I won't force you if you don't want to.

I'm the one who fell asleep this time.

The opposite of last time.

That's right.

Shall we have a seat?

You're hungry, aren't you?

Yeah, a little.

I've brought something really nice.

What is it?

I made meat pie.

Did you bake this yourself?

I failed many times though.

So, that time, he was...

I can't guarantee that it'll taste good.

But today is our anniversary.

Anniversary?

The anniversary of the first time you made meat pie.

Takayuki-kun.

C'mon, try some.

What's wrong? Is it bad?

It's good. It's really very good.

Thank god. All that practice paid off.

But, it must have been a lot of trouble for you.

I wanted to see you smile.

Thank you.

It's very good.

Have some too, Takayuki.

Ah, this is good.

This was where had our first date.

I confessed to you and asked you to go out with me.

But, it turned out badly.

Then, after that, I confessed to you.

It's the place where we made amends.

Do you think you can make it into Hakuryo University?

I think it might take me a while, but I'll definitely get in.

It's your dream after all, isn't it?

To be a picture book novelist.

What about you?

What's your dream?

My dream?

I have something that I want to do.

Something you want to do?

I want to find proper employment and support you.

The schedule of my current job is a bit random.

I'd like to find a job where I can dedicate more time to you.

I want to be with you, forever and ever.

I want to be with you.

I'll never let you go ever again.

Just like that charm.

Takayuki-kun, are you doing this for me?

I can't?

Takayuki-kun.

Haruka...

Thank you, Takayuki-kun. Thank you.

Haruka.

Shall we head back now?

What's wrong, Haruka?

Say, Takayuki-kun.

Let's...

...say goodbye.

Haruka!

Haruka?

Haruka!
