Original subtitles

Sorry you have to drop me off too.

Don't mention it. Consider it thanks for letting me enjoy the play.

It's a shame you two weren't in it,

but Heathcliff was amazing.

Ikumi-san made her wardrobe!

Oh? Is that so, Kyoko?

Sorry, I'm late.

It was unreal...

Seeing the great Heathcliff in tears.

Did something happen?

Kagami-sensei said something to her and she just burst into tears.

She must have had an emotional outburst.

We're beginning the reflection meeting.

OK!

Kyoko...

Kyoko.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

It's in the past now.

I was in love, me alone,

and that's all there was to it.

I wonder if I'm betraying you somehow.

That's...

Take my hand and bid farewell to darkness.

I'm going to take you to my secret place.

Where you're as you are.

Close your eyes, don't be afraid.

Yeah.

Oh, Fumi-chan?

Yeah, well the play was yesterday, so...

Huh?

Oh... That sounds fun.

I'm fine,

but do you have a day off from school today, too?

I'm playing hooky.

...and boom goes the dynamite.

And then I remembered that you don't have school today.

I'm sorry.

All right. Then we'll go on an all-day date!

About that...

I bought this...

Yokohama Minato Mirai - Chinatown

This place is great, even on a weekday.

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

Wow, look at all those text messages!

Your boyfriend?

I'm not telling.

What gives? Tell me!

Come on, it's not a big deal.

Manjome-san?

She's not in yet.

Were you two supposed to meet up or something?

I'm gonna be running the basketball team for the first time in a while tomorrow.

Wanna come and watch?

Was I stood up?

I feel like I wanna stay at your place tonight, Achan...

Sure.

Are you OK wearing a pair of my pajamas?

Oh, maybe they won't fit on you.

I can ask my mom for a pair of hers, maybe...

Achan...

At your service!

You're too kind.

I'll be dependent on you forever if you don't start saying no.

Yeah, I dunno about all that...

"Did something happen between you and Sugimoto-sempai?"

...I wonder if asking that would be a good idea or not.

She's so quick to cry...

I hate girls who cry.

What?!

Stop being so wishy-washy and I'll let you sleep over.

I did something mean...

Huh? To Sempai?

Yeah.

Don't worry about it.

She's a little too popular anyway.

No offense to her, but I'm on your side.

Thank you, Achan.

Quit being so formal.

You'd better make up with her.

Right.

I need to confront her more directly, huh?

And if we break up over that, maybe we just weren't meant to be.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey!

Someone's getting yelled at.

Maybe it's Okudaira-san.

State your name and class.

First year, Fuji class,

Akira Okudaira.

Well then, Okudaira-san,

come back down here and walk up the stairs properly.

I don't care what kind of hurry you're in, you are not to run in these halls.

Yes, ma'am.

Reference Room

Geez... She was scary...

Man, I was just guessing, too.

You shouldn't have been in such a rush.

Yeah...

What is it?

Huh?

Oh, that's by Sugimoto-sempai's older sister.

Huh?

Wow...

Oh, she was a teacher here.

Artist: Kazusa Sugimoto (Former Fujigaya Faculty)

She taught in the high school before we got here.

I've met her.

Huh? Why, why?

It was back in middle school.

I was asked to go to Sempai's house, just one time.

She was delicate and beautiful.

The so-called Four Sugimoto Sisters were sort of well known.

Four Sugimoto Sisters?

To Sempai Sorry for not keeping my promise.

I'll be waiting for you after practice today.

If you're willing to forgive me,

I'd like to see you.

Hand me the towel.

Oh, sure thing!

You free on Saturday?

Yes.

Then it's a date.

I want to introduce you to my family too, so come to my place.

Sure.

What?!

Sempai's house?

Yes, on Saturday.

Wow!

That means you'll meet the Four Sugimoto Sisters.

Four Sugimoto Sisters?

She has three older sisters, apparently.

Oh, and one of them was a teacher at our school.

Three sisters?

What should I do? I'm sorta nervous now...

It'll be fine!

They said the one who used to be the teacher is a really nice person.

I see...

Forget that, Fumi-chan...

Looks like you and Sempai patched things up.

That's great.

Yeah. Thanks.

I wonder what her sisters are like...

She asked me out on a date!

She's late.

Fumi.

Huh?

Sorry.

Sempai!

Sorry, there was a lot of traffic.

Did you think I stood you up?

What? No, not at all...

I thought I left with plenty of time to get here, but...

No excuses.

Right, right.

Thanks, Ogino-san.

Sempai.

Sempai's...

Sempai's a...

I'm back.

Welcome home, miss.

...girl from a good family.

What's wrong? Come in.

Pardon me.

Oh, Yacchan, welcome back.

Is this a friend of yours?

Yup, she's two grades below me.

I-I'm Fumi Manjome.

I'm her older sister, Shinako.

The eldest sister!

Oh, great, I like tall girls.

We're all tall in our family.

I'm Kuri, the third-eldest sister.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Yasuko sure has her share of admirers.

And so it begins.

Oh, I don't mean it in a bad way.

Pay no attention to her.

My mother here used to be rather popular herself, when she was young,

so she's just trying to steer the conversation, to brag with old stories.

Hey. Why would you say things that can give our guest here the wrong impression?

I can't help it if it's the truth.

You girls are so cruel.

When have I ever bragged through old stories?

When aren't you telling them?

Yeah. Remember that time when I brought my friend over...

Oh yeah, she was terrible that day.

Wasn't she?

Thank you kindly.

All right, all right. Let's just leave it at that.

Welcome.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kazusa, the second-eldest.

I'm Fumi Manjome.

Umm,

you taught at Fujigaya...?

Oh, that was only for a brief time.

She seems kind, just like Achan said.

It's not often Yacchan brings a friend over.

You two must be really close.

Yeah, about that...

I have something I want you all to hear.

Right now, me and her...

are dating.

So you'd be like... girlfriends?

I guess so.

You're a lesbian, Yacchan?

Do you really love her?

I do.

Right now you do, right?

Kuri...

You're saying that, at this moment, you love the girl sitting right there, yes?

Knock it off.

I already said I do.

Then I guess that would make you bisexual.

Let's go to my room, Fumi.

What are you planning on doing in there with her?

Don't follow her.

She always makes a big fuss like that.

Then she'll sulk and come right out,

looking for someone to console her.

Honestly, she's our little princess.

Oh, sorry. Is it cool if I smoke?

Oh, go right ahead.

See? Isn't she mean?

Kuri's always like this.

Well, excuse me.

Fumi?

Yes.

Come in.

You have a beautiful room.

They're always like that.

It's weird, though. I'm so quick to let them manipulate me.

I'm jealous. I don't have any siblings.

Umm...

I went out with someone before.

"Went out" is an exaggeration. We were like sisters, only a little more.

I loved her,

but she was probably just fooling around.

And then...

But I met you, and I truly-

Do you?

Huh?

You still have doubts about me, don't you?

Like I'm still in love with someone from before.

Right?

What about you then, Fumi?

I just conveniently showed up right after that person dumped you.

Maybe we just thought it was love at first sight.

So what?

Yacchan, you shouldn't corner people with questions like that.

That's not very becoming of a sempai, now is it?

Now, Fumi-san, come with me.

It's fine.

You stay there and think about what you've done.

You're in no rush today, right?

Why don't you spend the night?

Oh no, I couldn't impose.

It's no imposition, really.

No, I really couldn't.

We insist.

Can you take some food to Yasuko?

You're always so quick to pamper her.

Umm...

Can I take it to her?

Oh, but...

No, I'd be happy to.

What a sweet thing for her to do.

All right, let's place a bet,

on whether or not Yasuko takes their relationship to the next level tonight.

Quit saying things like that.

What? You have a guilty conscience?

Now, now, no bickering.

Actually, I'd wager to say they already went to the next level.

Huh?

Eww! You're the most vulgar of all of us, Mother!

Your home is so lively.

Sempai, about before...

Listen.

I wasn't being fair to you before.

I'm sorry.

I can't control my emotions and blamed you for it.

As I am right now, I can't be your girlfriend.

When the Leaves were New

See you next time.
