Good morning.

Morning.

What?

Just staring.

Why are you staring at me?

Because I love you.

Do I need any other reason?

You're being too touchy-feely.

Well, you asked me to.

I don't remember asking.

Oh?

As I recall, you told me last night...

Because you haven't touched me,

I felt like I was losing my mind.

You must take responsibility—

I guess I did.

I can't have you "losing your mind,"

and I must take responsibility.

What about your job?

Don't you have work today?

I do.

See you later.

Jeez!

[Blinded Kiss] [Episode 9]

Hello?

Morning. Were you awake?

Yeah.

What's up?

I just realized I left without a word during the book fair,

and didn't get to give you my regards.

But there is someone whom I like.

Is that so?

What kind of girl is she?

Kashiwagi?

Oh, sorry.

Are you half-asleep?

No, I'm fully awake.

I also left without a word. Sorry about that.

Give Kamijo my regards as well.

Will do.

Are you free today, by any chance?

Today?

I have the day off,

and was thinking of attending a traditional folk music concert.

Apparently, the Tale of Genji is the theme of the concert.

I see.

My thought was that it'd help with the library event.

Do you want to join me?

Hm?

Kashiwagi?

Thank you.

For what?

For keeping our lectures in mind even on your day off.

Well, I should follow it through.

True.

All right, I'll go.

Sounds good.

I'll send you the details.

Okay.

See you later.

See you.

[The Tale of Genji : A Musical Narrative] [Woven by Traditional Instruments]

Hasn't he been there for an hour?

I bet he was stood-up.

- Poor guy. - Yeah, seriously.

Gaku.

Sorry, did you wait long? I got lost.

Not at all.

In fact, I just got here.

Huh?

- S-Sorry. - What?

- Are you okay? - So cute.

Yeah, I'm fine. My bad.

You seem different today.

Do I look strange?

Oh, it's your outfit! No, you look totally fine.

I assumed a concert would call for more formal wear.

Yeah, looks nice.

I take that as a compliment. Thanks.

- Should we head in? - Yeah.

Her reactions make it painfully obvious how I'm not in her line of sight.

I can only stay so close by because she hasn't noticed.

Even so, today's the day I'll...

That was amazing!

It was.

It's amazing how they used music

to capture an audience with no previous interest in the topic.

I'd love to take Shinobu and hear his thoughts about it.

I'm fully aware that Kashiwagi loves Kamijo.

Don't you think the Niou no Miya section was especially nice? ("The Perfumed Prince"; in the third part of the Genji)

"I don't even know where can I go to end my life,

as I walk through the cloud-covered mountain in tears."

Exactly!

I felt the emotions of Niou no Miya and the music were in sync.

That was so wonderful.

Forget it.

I'm fine with the way we are now.

I was rambling all on my own.

Sorry about that.

It's fine.

I love you.

Kashiwagi, I love you.

- But I— - Wait.

I know that you only have eyes for Kamijo.

As for now, you can continue loving him.

But who knows what the future will hold.

The situation could change at any moment.

So just keep me in the corner of your heart for now.

That was the first time my emotions overrode my reasoning.

- Waka. - Yes!

Why don't you take a break and have some tea?

Thanks.

I'll get that.

Yes?

Waka!

Huh?

What!? Why?

To see you, of course!

Weren't you in Malaysia?

W-Woah.

I've missed you!

- You're overdramatic. It's only been four months. - Dad!

I can't breathe.

Calm down.

We still have to greet Shinobu!

Go on in. Go on!

Waka?

Sorry for the sudden visit.

Meet my mom and dad.

Oh.

Nice to meet you two.

I am Waka's roommate, Shinobu Kamijo.

- What? - What?

- Huh? - Huh!?

I thought Shinobu was..

W-Wait, Shinobu's a guy!?

Dear! Dear, calm down!

S-Shinobu's not a girl, but a guy,

and, no, but... Oh, my!

Oh, no!

Stop! No more!

Sorry, I should have told you two more than just his name.

It's also our fault for assuming based on a name alone.

Thank you.

Right, Dear?

Who'd ever assume her roommate would be a guy?

Here you are.

I am currently having a serious relationship with Ms. Waka.

Hold on! You two aren't roommates then.

You're a couple!

I had no intention of dating him at first.

But then...

things started changing,

so I asked him out.

I can't...

I can't handle this.

How about we all eat together today?

I've already bought the ingredients, so let me use your kitchen.

Now?

Let me help you.

Thank you!

He's trying to win Mom over with his good-guy act.

He's not.

I won't be fooled. All men are wolves!

So you're included.

Correction. All good guys are wolves underneath.

Which means you're calling yourself lame.

Oh, the misery.

Has he ever violated you?

- Have you ever thought of him as a wolf? - I can't say I haven't.

So you have.

Sorry, Waka. Could you go shopping?

I'm going to cook as well.

Sure.

Father, could I ask you to join her as well?

Since I'm cooking for four, the groceries may be too heavy for Waka.

I am not your "Father"!

Say that to his face.

Sorry about all the ruckus.

My husband madly loves Waka.

No worries.

We actually looked through some photos the other day, and I could tell

that she was incredibly cherished. [Papa tells Waka some fairy tales! His kindness is wonderful]

Waka has told me that your meals are divine.

Do you like cooking?

No, not exactly.

Is that so?

I only want to make Waka comfortable as much as I can.

She is the very reason for my life.

That girl has never wanted anything but books.

I've worried about her lack of interest in people.

But now she's finally found someone she's interested in.

Now... I can rest easy.

Do you remember we used to take this road often?

The road leads to the bookstore and library.

Right, we did.

- How nostalgic. - I know.

So... what sort of guy is he?

Huh?

Well...

He's kind to the point that makes me feel anxious.

Although I prefer to spend my time alone,

I don't mind being around Shinobu.

If anything...

I see.

I see...

I see I can't persuade you moving to Malaysia with us now.

Are you that lonely without me?

Mom is going to undergo surgery.

She says it's nothing serious.

And yet...

Mom suddenly said she wanted to see you.

We already bought a house there,

and if something happens to her, I'd like you to be there.

Sorry.

My anxieties overflowed.

Your mom told me to keep quiet about the surgery, but I...

Ultimately, you have your own life now.

You even have a treasured someone...

Not like I've approved of him yet.

Kamijo, I've heard from Waka...

that you lived in Germany and are a good drinker.

Then drink up.

Are you refusing my alcohol?

No, Sir.

- I shall gladly accept it. - Great.

- Don't hold back. - Yes, Sir.

Thank you.

- It's delicious. - Of course it is! I personally picked it.

Take another glass.

Thank you.

Don't force him!

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Oh, no!

You've made a mess!

Isn't it cold? Wipe it up.

Don't embarrass yourself in front of Shinobu.

S-Stop! No more!

My goodness.

Waka, bring us more napkins.

Jeez.

Eat this first.

Here you are, Shinobu. Okay.

H-Hold on—! Jeez...

- I'm fine! - Be careful, Sir.

I am, and can handle this alone!

Look, you see?

I've gotten on. I'm fine on my own.

Stop pushing!

Goodness, Dear...

Take your time.

How much longer will you two be in Japan?

Let's see...

I'd say another ten days this time.

Do you want to catch up at a café on my next day off?

Sure, that sounds great.

Thank you for coming today. Your cooking was delicious.

Likewise.

Your cooking was divine!

Then take care, you two.

We will. See you!

- Kamijo. - Y-Yes?

Please take good care of Waka.

I will.

Oh, one more thing, Waka.

I wish you a Happy Early Birthday!

See you!

- Bye! - Take care.

Thank you for your hospitality today.

Yeah, that got me a bit drunk.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Mom is going to undergo surgery.

Gaku's right.

Life will change on a dime.

If something happens to Mom...

Nevertheless, at that moment...

Please take good care of Waka.

I wlll.

I thought of my future with Shinobu.

I want to be with him forever, and that's the honest truth.

But...

Shinobu, my mom...

Yeah?

What if my mom and dad disapproved of our relationship?

Would your feelings for me change?

Of course not.

I see.

Yeah?

Nothing.

The situation will always change.

However, there are things I hope will remain constant.

I hope my love towards the person I treasure will always remain the same.

Dear...!

Dear?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Oh, no.

Shinobu...

Yes?

I need to tell you something.

My phone... I need to call Waka.

I'll be fine.

Okay?

I'm...

planning on leaving this place and going to Malaysia.
