Didn't I tell you?
Don't ask me out on a date.
Tsuchiya said you were playing hard to get.
Tsuchiya, how could you?
I'm so sorry.
I searched up all the places a commoner would like.
Why aren't you grateful to be on a date with me?
You don't think of me as a love interest.
What are you saying?
All the women in the world consider me as their love interest.
We'll battle it out on the drums then.
I might end up beating you with this stick.
Sorry, not interested.
What about these?
That's the doll from the other day.
Rio ended up taking back the doll he caught.
What?
You can't possibly know Anzu better than I do.
You mean that rude cousin of yours.
All right, I'll buy all the dolls in this machine.
Can I cover the costs with my part-time wages, Tsuchiya?
I will go check with the manager.
Just play the game!
What's the point in catching them?
Let's take pictures together in the photo booth.
Tsuchiya, join us!
You want me in the photos?
Yeah!
Tsuchiya, hurry.
Understood.
Pick your favorite pose!
-The camera's over there. -Ready?
-Three, two, one… -Hey!
I ended up having fun like usual.
-Anzu Hoshino. -Yes?
Good to meet you.
I am Yukana Kishi.
I believe Tsukasa has been staying with you.
I…
I've been dating Tsukasa for a while now.
JUST TELL ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
Master Hijiri.
What is it?
I did not inform you in case I was mistaken,
but someone has been tailing us all day.
I'm a little concerned
that we left Miss Hoshino by herself at the train station.
I'll message her just to be safe.
Are you Kazuki's girlfriend?
Yes.
For some reason, other people try to keep us apart.
They want to keep Tsukasa away from me.
Isn't it terrible?
We just love each other. How can they do this to us?
I don't know.
I can't see the connection between this lady and Kazuki.
Tsukasa's older sister is terribly rude.
She's very different from the kind Tsukasa.
I don't know, but…
something isn't right.
No one would tell me where he went, so I had to look everywhere.
It's all thanks to social media that I found him.
WITH CHIYO. LOOK AT THE IKEMEN IN THE BACKGROUND.
What?
Why… is she here?
Tsukasa!
This is wrong.
Sorry, but we have plans tonight.
Please leave for tonight.
Kazuki, you're sweating like crazy.
She's gone now.
What did she say to you?
She asked if I'm Hoshino.
She then said that she's in a relationship with you.
Kazuki!
Did you… believe her?
No.
Something felt wrong.
That woman…
she's my stalker.
What?
I'm starting to calm down a bit.
Let me get you something to drink.
Can you stay with me?
Kazuki's hand… It's ice-cold.
Sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry for bringing her here.
It wasn't your fault.
She must have already figured out that I live here.
Not only that…
you realized I wasn't okay right away.
Remember when I said that someday, I'd tell you why I'm living by myself?
You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
I don't mind telling you.
All it took…
Oh, no!
-Remember what I told you? -Wouldn't you think so?
Are you okay?
Here.
Thank you so much.
…was a single bag.
No way.
-Good morning. -And after that…
Good morning.
Morning.
Hello.
She's always there to greet you.
I bet she has a crush on you.
I highly doubt that.
Look at you go, you ikemen.
Delivery.
TO: TSUKASA KAZUKI
What's this?
I panicked so much.
-Really. -Mom, is this shirt for me?
Who got you that shirt?
Was is Arisa?
What? It wasn't me.
-It's like I told you! -Your brother took everything?
-Man, oh man. -Exactly.
He looks down on me like that.
Morning.
That shirt looked good on you.
This gives me the chills.
Someone made accounts under my name on multiple websites.
They might not have your credit card information,
but this isn't normal.
We should tell the police.
Don't involve the police in such a trivial matter.
Are you sure
Tsukasa's not using your mom's card in secret?
-I didn't… -Tsukasa wouldn't do that!
Don't raise your voice against your father.
For now, don't touch them. We'll return all the packages.
You didn't like my gift?
It had to be you.
Why would you do such a thing?
I'm sorry. I caused you trouble.
I should've checked the styles you liked.
That's not the problem.
How could you make fake accounts under my mother's name?
Well, I haven't met your parents yet.
I know you're at a delicate age.
You don't want to be seen with your girlfriend.
What are you saying?
Hey.
What styles do you like?
Tell me, Tsukasa.
Don't send me stuff ever again.
And please stop greeting me.
-Listen to this. -What?
Remember the book I told you about?
I tattled on my mom.
-Nice going. -Can't believe you did that.
Isn't she the lady who always says hi to you?
I don't know.
See you later.
You're so shy, Tsukasa.
You care too much about what others think.
You still come see me every day,
so I can hold it in even if we don't talk.
You are my Tsukasa.
We don't need anyone else.
TSUKASA: GIRLS MY AGE ARE SO ANNOYING AND CREEPY
ALL THE GUYS ARE IMMATURE. I WISH THEY'D LEAVE ME ALONE.
That's the lady we always see on the way to school.
He likes older women?
-I'm turned off. -Stop talking bad about us online.
I only talk to him because he's good-looking? Is he dissing me?
Was that post about us?
Tsukasa, you're horrible.
I didn't know he was like that.
Don't!
Not only were you stalked, she had installed spy cameras and voice recorders.
How pathetic.
Tsukasa did nothing wrong.
He's the victim here.
It's his fault for being a people-pleaser.
Tsukasa.
They are horrible.
Why do they tear us apart?
We love each other so much!
Leave! You have a restraining order.
Or do you want to go to jail?
Don't ever show yourself to my brother again.
I'm going.
-I can't believe him. -He's the worst.
Tsukasa…
After that,
I couldn't muster myself to go to school.
Had I not picked up that bag…
I have this constant regret for touching that bag.
My mother, Arisa, and my homeroom teacher helped me through it.
I left my hometown.
I started living by myself to hide from her.
I'm finally able to live a normal life,
but I still panic when I see others noticing me.
I can only protect myself by pushing others away.
I'm a weak, pathetic man.
Even when my father harshly lectured me, I couldn't say anything back.
He said…
this all happened because I try to please everyone.
He said none of my classmates believed me because of my indecisiveness.
Kazuki, just tell me if you don't like it.
-I'm going to give you a hug. -What?
You didn't do anything wrong, Kazuki.
I'm so frustrated.
I wish we became friends sooner.
I would have been the first one to believe you.
I wish we had met earlier.
I contacted the police.
We have to be on guard going forward.
I'm sorry this is happening to you.
It's because I'm weak. I'm so pathetic.
You aren't pathetic.
It's okay. We'll all help you through this.
Social media can ruin your life.
It didn't take her long to find you.
I'll try to spend a night here when I don't work.
You don't have to do that for me.
You must be busy too, Arisa.
Listen.
You may be mature, but you're still a child.
You can rely on the people around you.
Stop this already!
Stop gathering the public's attention.
My brother won't be able to help you with every one of your outrages.
Had that boy never tempted you, you wouldn't have ended up like this--
Don't talk bad about Tsukasa!
I was getting bullied at my workplace.
He was the only one who was kind to me.
He came to see me every day.
We talked about many things all day.
Look at what he turned you into.
We should sue him instead.
We were in a loving relationship.
Our age difference is irrelevant.
Another clueless whore won't leave Tsukasa alone!
I want her gone.
Hoshino, you can clock out after you clean that up.
Okay.
What's wrong? It's not like you to be down.
What?
Well…
It's nothing.
There's no one else here right now.
I'm here if you need to talk.
Don't misunderstand me, this isn't for your sake.
Don't get tsundere on me.
He continuously messaged me yesterday too.
He's doing what he can to show support.
ARE YOU OKAY? IF YOU'RE OKAY, IT'S FINE
I can't help but wonder
if there's anything I can do for a friend in trouble.
It's enough if you stay by their side.
So you think I'm that awesome.
Don't touch me.
What, did Hoshino leave already?
She left her phone.
She shouldn't be far. I'll let Tsuchiya handle it.
Did you wish for me?
I've been meaning to ask, but which royal family do you belong to?
Hello. Is Anzu in the back?
She left a moment ago.
Strange, she texted me and my brother to come.
Crap, I forgot my phone!
What a pain.
Hello miss.
Come with us for a second.
What? Who are you?
Sorry,
but I'm told to make sure you can never walk in the daylight again.
That hurts!
Get away from Anzu.
Junta…
What'd you say, you brat?
Ryuya!
Tonta, don't get involved!
You'll get suspended from baseball!
Damn brats!
Excuse me. I don't quite understand the circumstances,
but I will interfere.
Tsuchiya!
Hoshino, I apologize for interceding.
-I brought the things you forgot. -Dammit!
Damn! What the hell's with you?
Hey, I know you! You're Naoki.
Takamine.
Are you causing trouble?
I'm sorry.
I had no choice. A crazy woman threatened us.
This woman…
is she in her twenties and her hair is about shoulder-length?
That's her.
I'll discipline you harshly as your senior.
Care to help, Sungeezer?
Sungeezer?
Like sunglasses and a geezer?
You all saved me back there.
You came one after another. Talk about a lucky encounter.
I had to, you usually never message me.
I messaged you?
You did. I was surprised that you asked for my brother too.
What? I never sent these messages.
It's not safe to be out.
You should head home and get some rest.
Yeah, I'll go do that.
Thanks, everyone.
What? You got attacked?
But everything turned out alright in the end!
I have to leave.
I can't stay here after what happened today.
You can't.
You shouldn't suffer because of a crazed stalker.
We'll overcome this, together.
Thanks.
Don't look gloomy!
I, an ikemen, will cheer you up!
Shut up, you manifestation of my negative side.
Harsh as always.
You were saved only because I used my magic
to send messages!
I see! So it was you!
Right on!
I messaged useful pawns to save you from the danger.
Don't call them "pawns"!
You ended up saving me, so thanks.
For once, I'll thank you.
Here's my ant-booger-sized thanks.
What a microscopic-sized gratitude!
Can't you use your magic to do away with that stalker?
Like, create a barrier so she can't find Kazuki again.
My magic is only for helping you fall in love.
But you know,
if we don't solve this stalker situation, I'll be in danger.
If anything befalls you again,
we can't keep Kazuki around as your love interest any longer.
We must remove potential risks.
No!
I have nothing to say to a heartless jerk.
Leave.
Oh, man.
She disabled my magic again.
I can't fall asleep.
I'm thirsty.
It's my fault that Hoshino is in danger. I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing to me?
Stop overthinking, it's not your fault.
Fortunately, Anzu was unscathed this time.
But I cannot allow this to happen again.
If people try to hurt her again, I may have to fight back.
If my baseball career gets ruined, then so be it.
This is my decision.
You have nothing to do with my choice.
In the first place, I started baseball because of this.
What kind of boys do you like?
Sporty boys!
So they can beat up all the bosses!
I heard Anzu say that.
Tonta, you have good reflexes.
Maybe you could be good at baseball.
That's why I picked up baseball.
I started playing in junior high.
Don't laugh.
No, it's just that Anzu has no clue
that she helped create this promising athlete.
You can say that.
Has she been quiet since then?
Yeah.
Nothing has happened so far.
Kazuki and Arisa are walking back with me too.
I see. Let me know any time you require Tsuchiya's aid.
How reliable. If the manager heard that,
he'd say, "are you an oil tycoon?"
He already did.
Though, you could not care less whether I'm a prince or a tycoon.
You know it.
My break is over.
-I'm heading home now. -Good work today.
Hoshino.
Can I have a minute?
It's her. What should I do?
Kazuki will arrive any time now.
I can't let him see her.
What do you want?
I brought you something.
A fanfare, please!
Congratulations!
I bet you're so interested in what comes next, you can't skip this bit!
We live in a time where we can choose what we want to watch.
But what have we lost along the way?
Don't say you don't want to change.
Explore more and live a happy, sparkling life!
For my salary's sake, that is.
Ah, yeah!
Let's go!
Lo-love!
Here we go!
Sorry that I'm forcing you
But I promise you'll enjoy A wonderful future
No, no to your three greatest needs Video games, chocolates, and cats
I'll never give myself up to these ikemen!
That's what you say now, but I know you'll give in eventually!
You! (So!) You too! (So!)
I know your heart is beating fast! (Show!)
Fall in love, no one can stop love!
Come on, don't you want to fall in love?
Just admit it
Don't you want to fall in love?
Don't be so stubborn now
Don't you want to fall in love?
You can't stay away From these ikemen forever
Come on now! Don't you want to fall in love?
Just leave it to me
Don't you want to fall in love?
Go ahead and lose yourself
Don't you want to fall in love?
You can't stay away From these ikemen forever
Embrace me, hold me tight
Release your wild side
The sign of love only you can pick up on
Let's go romantic!
