O God,
why did you...
...have to make me go through such trials?
Anyway, should we start from the love stories and stuff?
Don't make it sound like something we have to do.
- I have a question! - Go ahead, Yuka.
Yamada, have you got anyone you like?
Naive people are amazing.
- You're so right. - Huh? What are you guys talking about?
Or maybe you can tell me what's your type like, Yamada?
O God... O, my God!
Come on, what's your type like?
U-Um, someone funny?
There it is. Her usual answer.
Also...
Someone that's like a cat?
- Now what does that mean? - And then, and then?
E-Enough about me.
What about you guys? Like...
Have you ever been confessed to?
- Yep. - Me too.
- Then, me too! - Nope.
Someone is lying among us.
- Not one, but two. - Stop the mind games!
But, you know, confessions are like, for kids.
Huh? W-What do you mean?
Adults just naturally advance to the next stage without any confessions.
That's how things start between them.
Not like I know, though.
- Advance to the next stage? - Sounds complicated.
B-But I...
I like being confessed to!
What's wrong?
N-Nothing. I don't really get what "advancing to the next stage" means...
Oh, you see, that means...
B-Before they start dating?!
Of course.
It's about se... isn't it!
Adults would usually just get straight to the se... part!
They only decide what their relationship is after they do it!
We might get yelled at, so I'll turn off the lights.
'Kay.
This is bad! I have to get out of here somehow!
Should I wait until everyone falls asleep?
But once the boys realize that I'm gone, they'll definitely make a fuss...
Huh?
Se... Se...?!
What should we do?
T-This is bad!
D-Don't think about it! Think about something else!
U-Um, two, three, five, nine...
Wait, what comes after that, again?
Hey.
I...
Am I... an adult?
Now?! And... here?!
(I want to talk tomorrow)
There's something I want to talk to you about.
Huh? What's up, Yamada?
Hm?
Nah. It's nothing.
Wait, isn't, like...
Isn't your blanket looking too big?
I'm... I'm so dead!
Whoa!
He... help me...
What the hell?!
- Now! - Okay, okay!
Huh?
What was that thing you want to talk about?
Tomorrow...
I'll talk about it... properly.
Okay.
And then,
on the second day of the school trip, we split up according to our own groups.
Urgh! So cool!
Yip!
Yip, yip yip yip!
Don't ruin the mood!
This is a sacred place.
If a couple passes through here while holding hands,
they'll be together forever! That's what they say!
What? Really?
Yamada, you seem excited hearing that!
Yip!
I can't find anything about that on Google.
Ugh! You don't have to do anything unnecessary!
Yip!
Ugh, fine...
After that thing happened last night...
How do I bring up the audition to Yamada?
Also, what did I even want to talk about, anyway?
To not have to watch out for me?
To take her job seriously?
I don't know.
I just...
...think that if she went on this school trip for me, then...
I would really hate that.
Yip!
Okay, let's go!
We're finally alone together again.
Yeah.
How is it? You having fun?
Well, more than I thought I would.
Oooh!
Good to hear.
That is...
...what makes me happy the most.
What the heck?
Huh?
It's true. I'm having fun, and I'm happy.
Then...
Why are you making that face?
N-No, this is...
You have one, right?
An audition.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I really can't do this!
This is our precious...
Our precious school trip! And I tried so much to focus on having fun!
I thought, if you're having fun, then I should also be happy!
But I've...
...just been thinking about the audition this whole time!
I'm so selfish, aren't I?
Why did that...
...make me feel calm?
Sorry.
I know saying all of that changes nothing.
Yamada is turning her head away from her dream.
She can't make any sense out of it...
...and that's why, I...
I...
Crap.
Anna Yamada.
Don't underestimate me.
I... was alone.
But I was fine with it.
Because I was fully convinced that this world is full of nothing but jerks.
I was empty, I was alone...
I was pathetic.
I thought that everyone has got to be making fun of me
and mocking me inside their heads.
Not a single person would want to talk to someone like me.
I was convinced that that's how things should be.
But I made friends.
Adachi, Ota, Kanzaki...
I even talk to Kuginuma and the others sometimes now.
I... began to be able to start talking normally to girls.
The teachers are kind of annoying,
but I don't hate them.
I thought the school had nothing for me,
but there began to be more things there for me, bit by bit.
Happy things, sad things...
Embarrassing things, shocking things.
My world had nothing, but bit by bit, it started to have color.
I realized that I actually enjoy going to school!
Even without you there, I enjoy it!
T-That's...
But that is...
...only possible because of you.
You showed me a world like that.
You made me...
...realize that the world is so beautiful.
Because of you.
And that's why I love you.
("I and...")
It's true. Nothing was special.
All I could see were things that were obvious to me.
There they are!
We have to go give our blessings!
What?! Are they holding hands?!
W-Whaaat?
After I met Yamada,
those obvious things
also became special to me.
Whoa!
Maybe this is just me exaggerating.
But Yamada is...
...the one who shaped me to be who I am today.
At the very least,
Anna Yamada...
I hope become
even just the tiniest part of you.
Go.
To the audition.
It's tomorrow, right? You can still make it in time.
But...
Just hop on the bullet train now, I can go tell the teachers about it!
Here.
This should be enough for you, right?
So that's why...
...it was packed?
Then, I'm off.
E-Earlier...
It calmed me down.
You're...
...still you, Yamada.
I...
I also want to tell you, properly.
Yamada!
Chi...
You were gone, so everyone was panicked!
So you want to go to the audition, after all?
Here.
You should practice for it, then.
Okay.
Here, I'll put this in here for you.
I'll put the snacks in, too.
Whoa, it's so packed!
I'll take care of everything else somehow!
Okay.
It's not the time to cry yet!
Come on, hurry up and go!
Okay. Thank you!
Yamada!
You'll be fine.
Okay!
Crap! I embarrassed myself in front of Kobayashi!
Aw man, I didn't watch over my group members...
I've totally failed as a group leader.
No, not at all.
Crap! We have to go back!
(Get into a top school!) (Daichi Cram School)
Anyway, what should I use as an excuse?
Yamada had urgent business, and I took her to the station?
No, that'll place the blame on Yamada...
(Now kiss!) - Congrats! - Congrats!
No, no, this is all wrong!
What's wrong about it? It's a couple.
I was gunning for another couple!
Ugh!
Hey. Can you stop?
This is an act. I'm serious.
Ah.
Soz.
Hara...
...sure is strong.
(I hope I get accepted. - Kyotaro Ichikawa) Okay...
Maybe something like this?
Hello? Have you picked out gifts from Kyoto for us?
Don't bring home a keychain of Kiyomizu Temple transformed to a robot.
You should buy me some oil blotting paper from Gioni.
Also, Ojyari Mochi and scent sachets from Ranran!
And some Hyoutan chili flakes.
(Gioni) (Mochi) Um, um...
What are those?
Gifts for my sis... I mean, brother.
For that sister of yours?!
Why are you the one excited?
Hey! You girls over there!
Yamada contacted her parents right away,
and they both talked to the teacher directly.
That Yamada is safe,
and she's gone back to do an audition.
It was fun, even without Yamada.
But, even so...
(I'm waiting at the usual place)
Even so...
Listen up!
It's still the school trip until you get to your homes!
Even so...
I miss Yamada, after all!
But...
The usual place?
The usual...
The usual place is...
Could it be...
(Library)
You were able to get in without your uniform?
Did you figure it out right away?
No, I was confused.
We have lots of usual places.
But...
(I'm waiting at the usual place) You put...
...a candy there, so...
I thought it'd be the library.
I'm not saying this place is sweet.
No, I wasn't making a pun or anything...
The audition?
Huh?
I don't know. I did my best, but...
I-I see...
What is it?
I...
...think I'm really just a weak person.
That's what I understood from all of this.
That's not...
I'm indecisive,
and I compare myself to other people.
I get negative and anxious...
I mean, not like I can do anything about it, but...
I like myself that way.
I've finally realized that, I think.
And that's why...
And so that's why...
Everyone around me is precious to me.
They're special to me, and I love them.
Kyotaro Ichikawa.
You made me realize it.
Kyotaro Ichikawa.
You're more precious to me than anyone else,
more special to me than anyone else.
You took in all of me...
("I...")
("...Fell in Love")
...and all of me loves you!
Will you...
...be together with me?
Yeah.
I did it!
I really am...
...messed up in the head.
I can't fathom that all of this is real.
But I'm sure that...
...this is...
How I, and...
("I and I...") I...
("...Fell in Love") ...fell in love.
("I and I Fell in Love")
