Quit thinking I'm easy like that.

Seriously, if you think I'll always love you, then you're wrong.

If possible, I want you to get to know me better.

Narumi, I can't stay by your side anymore.

No... You can't.

Although I wanted to wait until Narumi moved on,

I think that'd be too late. Kikuchi would take her.

She decided to go out with Kikuchi-kun.

I won't lose, no matter who's in your heart.

I love you.

I really do.

You look tired.

It's exam season. All that studying definitely cuts into sleep.

Wait, are my calls making that worse?

Of course not. If anything, I wish we could talk longer.

I could chat with you for hours.

Seriously, I said that? I don't remember it at all.

Dude, you're acting like a clown.

Your joke wasn't even that funny.

What're you talking about?

I'm talking about your silly charade around Yoshioka and Kikuchi.

It makes you look like a dumbass.

I bet you're just mad at yourself, right?

'Cause it's totally obvious you're bluffing.

I thought this was gonna be easy.

Getting over Yoshioka should've been a piece of cake.

I underestimated her.

After-school detours are the best!

I feel so carefree.

We can finally relax now that exams are over.

Yeah, and get a good night's rest, too.

Hey, wanna go watch a movie with me this Saturday?

Sorry! I'm actually going shopping for our school trip with Yuri and Shuko that day.

Bummer... But you're right, it is right around the corner.

Excited?

You bet.

I'm looking forward to the good eats.

What's Nagasaki known for...?

Gonaji!

Gonaji?

It's a fish, and a Nagasaki luxury.

The famous foods are castella and champon, though. [T/N: Castella - a sponge cake / Champon - type of noodle soup]

And they say coffee in Japan originated from Nagasaki, too!

You're like an expert.

I'm so pumped for this trip, I had to do my research.

Oh...

Yes?

Nothing.

Actually, I'll be right back. Sorry.

Oh?

Narumi.

Narumi, wait—

What now?

Is this about Kou-chan again?

No, not exactly.

I just wanted to apologize.

You know, Kou has been smiling a lot more at school these days.

That's probably all thanks to you.

So I'm sorry I blamed you for holding him back.

My boyfriend.

I'm keeping him waiting. See you.

Sorry about that.

- Here. - Thanks.

[Kou]

Kou-chan...

Did you ever smile when you were keeping me company?

See you.

Bye.

Wow...

Did you see that shooting star?

Yes! Did you?

I did. That was a first for me.

- Same. - I didn't realize you could see them with all these lights.

Right?

I just remembered I've got a show to catch.

See you later.

I saw the shooting star from where I was facing.

So why was Kou able to see it, too?

Perhaps he turned around and looked at me, like this?

It's easy to twist his actions to my benefit, to get my hopes up.

Like, that time when he hugged me...

Or when he placed his hand on mine, with a glass veil between us.

His audible laugh in the halls sounded forced, too.

My selfish delusions are getting the best of me.

I don't want these thoughts to catch up with me.

Run faster, without care!

Leave those feelings behind already!

[Ao Haru Ride Season 2]

[Episode 4]

Who decided on this seating arrangement?

We're sitting with our groups, remember?

Then sit next to Kominato.

He's up front with the teachers.

Apparently, he gets motion sickness.

I'm going to hurl...

Kominato definitely made it so we'd all get grouped together.

His ulterior motive to be with you is so obvious.

Do you think Futaba will be okay? Mabuchi-kun's in our group, too...

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Futaba has Kikuchi-kun now.

But what if she has a change of heart...

- Do you, Yuri? - What?

Do you ever feel yourself going back to Mabuchi?

Of course not.

Then Futaba will be fine, too.

Yes... You're right.

Hey, what's our group doing on days two and three?

Shuko-chan, that's dangerous.

Sorry.

Where is it...

- Sorry! - No worries.

Kikuchi-kun!

What's up? Did you drop something?

No, I was looking for a heart.

Apparently, one of the lights here has one printed on it.

Do you mean this one?

Yes!

I'll snap a picture for you.

Thanks.

Say cheese.

Got it?

Here, look.

- Yes, I know. - I haven't said anything yet.

Pretty good shot, right?

Yes! Do you want one, too?

- Could you? - Sure.

Futaba's finally moving on.

Say cheese.

If you're able to bottle up your feelings, keep them that way.

Do what's best for her.

I know.

Is something up with him?

He's clearly regretting, so why not choose Futaba from the start?

What an absolute idiot.

I've also had my moments where watching Kou irritated me.

I thought he was a real dumbass, too.

Still, no one has the foresight to always make the right choice.

I mean, sure. But...

Is one mistake all it takes to end it?

I'm not crazy, right?

Yes, you're not.

Those two definitely have chemistry.

I want to get Nagasaki-style champon while I'm here.

Me, too!

- Right? - Yes!

I'm going to head back to my group, okay? Shuko needs a gal to even out the guys.

Hold on.

Yes?

[Yataro Minamikan]

- Hey! - Wow!

Asshole! I thought you were a teacher.

You're just a scaredy-cat.

Thanks.

What? If you're thirsty, get your own.

This is for Kikuchi?

Are you two sneaking out?

That's none of your business.

- Don't. - What?

What do you mean by "don't"?

Uh... Well...

It's risky out there.

Risky, how?

- Follow me. - Hey!

Can I get an explanation already? What's so risky about that?

- I saw someone. - Really?

Might've been a teacher.

Seriously?

Okay, yeah. That was risky.

It seems like the coast is clear, though.

Having a rendezvous with Kikuchi-kun at this time is scandalous.

He's my boyfriend. Who cares?

Besides, hiding here with you is much more scandalous for me.

I don't want Kikuchi-kun to be—

They're here, for real now.

Didn't you hear someone?

Huh?

The storeroom is open.

Let's check inside, just to be sure.

Yes, Sir.

Yoshioka, stay here.

Yoshioka-san, stay here.

What are you doing?

My 100 yen coin—

That's a 10 yen coin.

Anyway, my coin rolled into the storeroom.

I explicitly said no wandering past lights out.

We'll have a word with you.

Come on, no dawdling.

Are you worried about Mabuchi?

Yes... I bet he's getting chewed out by the teachers.

Well, I think finding you both hiding there would've been worse.

I'm sure they'll let him off much easier since he was alone.

Fair point.

I guess that was the best option for both of us.

Exactly.

Sorry. You probably don't want to hear about this, right?

All this about Kou...

The fact that you told me at all, means you felt nothing about it.

That itself makes me really, really happy.

Well, if you're happy, then so am I.

Look! It's the Oura Cathedral!

Hey! Wait up!

Where is it?

Here, let me see.

That way.

[Nagasaki Kakuni Manjuu] (T/N: Japanese steamed pork bun)

This one's adorable too.

Agreed.

Look, a Castella Shrine!

It's so cute. Let's check it out!

[Castella Shrine] [Donation Box]

[Yoshioka Stamps Shop]

"Yoshioka"?

Futaba-chan, it's you!

It is!

I found the "Futaba-ya" too!

Now we've got your full name, "Futaba Yoshioka."

- You're right. - Crazy stuff.

Say "champon." [Futaba-ya]

Great shot!

She got the sign in there.

Perfectly too.

Does this really look like glasses?

Wait, no. It's a better view over there.

- Come on, let's go. - Where?

- Over there, over there. - I wonder how deep these waters are...

What a beautiful garden!

I bet it's even more amazing in the spring and summer.

Is that true, Mabuchi?

I wonder.

I've never been here, either.

Really?

I was worried we were boring you.

Nah, not at all. I never really went sightseeing while I lived here.

Then what did you do?

Let's see...

I spent most of my time studying, that's all.

So this is the superstitious stone! Touching it makes my love mutual, right?

- Kominato. - Yes! Yes?

Listen... Could I leave Kou to you?

Leave him to me... how?

Well, you know. Nagasaki's a place full of sad memories for him.

He might be acting fine, but I'm worried he's actually not.

I can't exactly be by his side anymore.

So I'm leaving Kou in your trustworthy hands, okay?

What's wrong? Is something up with Futaba?

Nah, nothing really.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

But do you think Yoshioka still...

Don't.

Futaba is dating Kikuchi now.

Things are working out for them. Don't try and cause drama.

Why are you getting so worked up?

Is it for Yoshioka's sake?

Murao.

Remember what you told me back when we just got promoted to second year?

You said you had "no interest in the class."

You didn't care about others at all.

But I think you're fine, if not better, the way you are now.

So? Did your heart skip a beat?

- No. - Thought so.

...But maybe.

What?

Look...

Look at that beautiful sunset, Kou.

Wow! It's Ryoma!

Check me out.

"I am Ryoma Sakamoto* the great." [T/N: a famous Japanese samurai]

His statue is so tall.

Woah, look at that!

It's so beautiful!

- Yeah! - I'm getting chills.

- What a marvel. - Yes.

Isn't that the observatory over there?

- That tower? - Yes.

You're right.

Kou.

This reminds me of the sunrise from our committee training camp.

Where Kominato-kun said something really cheesy?

Oh yeah, I still laugh about that now.

And here I was, getting ready to say it again.

Woah.

That's the happiest I've seen you all day -

Wow!

What? You're not usually this hyped.

This was the sunset I wish she'd seen.

The final thing I saw with my mother, was a cloudy sunset outside her hospital window.

She was breathing her last... So I had to ask it. Why?

Why couldn't you have been beautiful?

I hated every sunset since.

I couldn't bear to see them.

But now...

I've let go of that grudge, thanks to our new memory here.

Oh... it's that simple.

I would've never reached that answer alone.

Thanks, everyone.

I've witnessed someone overcome something,

and regain his footing once more.

So we can look back on these memories -

With the same fondness as everyone else!

Just me?

Isn't that where everyone joins in?

Timing and subtitles by the Blue Spring Ride Team

I want to go here.

Is that a temple?

It supposedly has nice flora.

Look, Nagasaki's one of the top three night views in Japan, too!

Kou!

Where are you going? Hey—

I'm going to visit my old neighborhood.

I'm hoping to make some new memories there,

like I did with yesterday's sunset.

- But— - Do you want to come with me?

What?

Come with me.

[Next episode] I'm done bottling up my feelings.

If I make her confused, that means I have a chance.

We never made it to that next step.

Yoshioka-san has always been the only girl for me. I'll be winning her over.

I've always loved you, Kou-chan.

You never disappeared.

That's how it is.
