Yasuko, we're taking off.

When you're done getting ready, come with everyone in the car and join us.

What about Kazusa-chan?

She's been gone for a while now.

Honey, the car service is almost here.

Yeah...

What is it? Are you still jetlagged?

Nice weather today, huh?

You know...

You spend every Sunday doing nothing.

Summer vacation is over. Hit the books!

After all we did to get you into Matsuoka,

I don't want to see your grades slip.

Honey, you too. Wake up!

Breakfast's ready.

Akira Okudaira

You eat up too, Fumi.

Yes, Mother.

You didn't forget anything, right?

Yup.

Did you bring the present?

Yup.

What about your cellphone? Keep it off during the ceremony-

Enough already!

I'm not a little kid!

Huh?

What is it?!

The school.

Yeah. They're putting a new building in.

New building?

The school building was getting pretty old,

so they're building a new one.

Don't cry, Yacchan.

I won't.

You'll be in tears. I know it.

How can you be so sure?

Because you're a delicate flower, Yacchan.

You really look good dressed like that.

You and Kuri are both the

"prince" types, which makes you popular. It must be a pain.

Because of that, everyone gets the wrong idea.

Hey, turn that frown upside down and congratulate me.

I'll tell you a secret that'll lift your spirits right away:

I can't cross the threshold until you've congratulated me.

Thanks for escorting me here.

Call me when it's done.

You don't have to wait for me.

I don't even know how long it'll be.

It's fine. I'll find a way to pass the time.

Ikumi-san!

Okudaira-san.

Oh, hello.

Hey!

You're going to the wedding?

Yeah.

Uh, no, you aren't!

Why are you even here? You've got nothing to do with this!

What's the problem? I'm your guardian today, after all.

You're coming too, right, Sawanoi-san?

Oh no, I'm...

Geez! Leave already!

Energetic as usual, I see, Achan.

Sempai!

Th-Thank you kindly for your invitation...

Umm, on this most blessed of days, err...

Congratulations!

Thank you.

Who's that?

I'm Akira Okudaira's older brother.

This is Ko Sawanoi-san.

Kyoko's boyfriend?

Her fiancé, in name only.

I'm Yasuko Sugimoto.

Would you like to attend the ceremony, perchance?

Uh...

Are you sure? Thank you so much then!

But, Sempai...

The more the merrier, don't you think?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

OK, it's over this way.

Go home as soon as it's over.

How self-centered are you?

Thanks for coming.

Is that a drawing?

She was the one who taught me how to draw.

Oh?

I guess they're both former teachers of yours, huh?

That sort of outfit really does look good on you, Sempai.

Kazusa-chan said the same thing.

You heading out?

Yeah. I was gonna go for a short walk.

I wonder if she's still sleeping.

That Yacchan is so brave.

Here I was worried if she'd even come,

and she's not only here, but acting cheerful!

The waterworks would start, if she wasn't.

There you go again, being mean.

I can't help it if it's true.

Thanks for coming. You should rest a bit.

Yeah.

Did you say hi to our new brother-in-law yet?

I will in just a bit.

Did you?

Of course.

Don't cry during the ceremony.

I beg your pardon?

You were in love with him.

Kazusa!

OK, I'm gonna go say hi.

So the three of you were fighting over one man?

How unlucky for you, as sisters!

A letter from Kuri-san?

I never got it.

Oh. I guess she wasn't able to send it.

That's kind of a letdown.

I feel blessed to have three beautiful sisters after me.

Hey, you think like a creepy old guy.

Don't be so mean.

You're so dull, Sensei.

Hey...

Maybe my family just can't resist dull guys.

Well, sorry for being dull.

Are you going dressed like that?

Something wrong?

No. I mean, it looks great on you.

It's cool, but...

You look good in cute, girly clothes too.

You do think like a creepy old guy.

Sorry. That might be true.

You're still saying those things?

Oh!

What is it?

It looks like Fumi-chan tried to call me.

You didn't tell her about today?

I had a hard time bringing it up...

You should cry.

Huh? Me?

Yeah.

Just because you found an old love-letter of mine,

don't think you've found a weakpoint of mine.

It was just a youthful indiscretion.

I looked him in the eye and said it.

That makes me better than someone who never sent the letter.

It's not about who's better or worse.

It's just a nice memory for both of you.

Right?

A pretty casual thing to say, no?

Well, it's not my problem.

You've got a bad personality, Shinako-chan.

Think of it like shock therapy.

Look, here comes the huntress who beat you two to the prize.

Kazusa-chan looks beautiful.

Congratulations.

Enoshima?!

What?! I'll come join you now!

My brother's here, so I'll get him to drive me.

Huh? You don't have to...

Don't worry about it.

So, where should we meet?

OK.

Yeah, good idea.

All right, I'll be waiting at the entrance to Bentenbashi bridge.

Uh, umm... Hold on a sec.

Hmm?

Fumi.

Sorry, I tagged along.

Long time no see.

Yeah.

Umm...

Hmm?

Today was your sister's wedding ceremony, right?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

We have to figure out what we're going to eat there, Achan.

Yeah...

Sorry.

It's OK.

And my brother tagged along, too.

So you ask me to be your chauffeur and then tell me to leave?

I'm walking with Fumi-chan! You two do whatever you want!

Achan's full of energy, huh?

Full of stubbornness, you mean.

Still, she's a good girl.

Well, her personality is her only saving grace.

What was she like as a kid?

Oh, well...

She used to follow me everywhere, like a chick following its mother.

Right when I started going to elementary school,

there she was, every morning, in tears...

"Don't leave me, brother!"

Shut it!

Let me walk with you and then he'll stop.

No!

I don't want to walk with you, Sempai.

Please don't put Achan in a tough spot.

OK. I'm sorry.

Fumi-chan got really angry back there.

Yeah, but can you blame her?

I did something to piss her off.

Oh, I see.

Fumi and I used to date.

Oh?

The way I dumped her was pretty nasty.

I guess you would be surprised by this, huh?

I think that's normal.

I'd be shocked if I was in your shoes, too.

You really look good dressed like that.

When I first met him, they were already dating a long time.

What was I thinking? I hacked my hair off.

My sister conceals it well, but she has a strong personality.

Even just superficially, I wanted to resemble her.

People quickly picked up on my boyish image,

and I suddenly became popular.

"Girls sure are simple."

I felt like I could be whatever I wanted to be, by sheer force of will.

In retrospect, I think I was pretty snobbish.

Though, of course, I had the ability to hide that part of my being as well.

You joined the Drama Club?

Yeah. Someone recommended I join it.

I'll join the Drama Club too, then.

What about drawing?

I can draw by myself.

Kyoko was just like me.

When I cut my hair, she cut hers.

She was always following me around.

Sure, she was sweet, but annoying.

It never occurred to me that I was the same way.

Let's pretend you didn't say that.

I even changed schools to show how heartbroken I was.

Even though my family was bound to notice my feelings for him in time,

I stubbornly insisted that Sensei and I keep them secret.

I was truly a lost cause as a kid.

Fumi-chan, wanna go here next?

Enoshima Caves

Caves!

It's a little bit of a walk, though.

It looks fun. I've never been in a cave before.

Me neither! I wonder what it's like.

When I think of caves, it's like, umm...

A god decides to hide out in a cave,

then the whole world turns pitch-black, and it's like "Holy crap!"

You mean the Ama-no-Iwato myth?

Amaterasu hears voices having fun outside the cave,

so she goes outside to see what's going on. It's like something a kid would do!

They say it stays open 'till five.

If we go now, we'll make it in time.

Shall we go?

Nah, I'll pass.

But you want to, don't you?

Yeah.

OK, everyone. Each of you grab a candle and walk through.

The ceiling gets lower as you go along, so please be careful.

It's really dark in here.

You walk in front!

You're the one who wanted to come here!

Still...!

Why did you come today?

Come on, keep moving.

Because I wanted to see you.

I didn't want to see you.

You're selfish.

If you have someone you love, please just focus on them.

And what if they aren't interested?

Then please give up gracefully.

I've...

given up on you.

I'm done with you.

Please grow up.

OK.

Fumi.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

The Happy Prince

So sorry.

See you next time.
