1
00:00:56,202 --> 00:00:57,453
Mai-san?

2
00:00:59,538 --> 00:01:01,373
Who are you, mister?

3
00:01:03,876 --> 00:01:06,879
I know I've put on a few years.

4
00:01:06,962 --> 00:01:11,717
My mom told me never to talk
to old men I don't know.

5
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,094
And where's your mom now?

6
00:01:15,930 --> 00:01:18,140
I'll bet you're lost.

7
00:01:18,224 --> 00:01:19,558
I'm not!

8
00:01:20,267 --> 00:01:22,478
Where are we?

9
00:01:22,561 --> 00:01:26,148
I thought you weren't supposed to talk
to old men you don't know.

10
00:01:27,983 --> 00:01:29,193
Goodbye.

11
00:01:29,818 --> 00:01:31,946
We're on Shichirigahama Beach.

12
00:01:33,739 --> 00:01:37,242
Its name means "seven miles,"
but it's not even close to that long.

13
00:01:37,326 --> 00:01:40,871
I'm a student
at Minegahara High over there.

14
00:01:40,955 --> 00:01:43,123
My name is Sakuta Azusagawa.

15
00:01:43,207 --> 00:01:46,001
I'm not an old man
you don't know anymore, right?

16
00:01:56,470 --> 00:01:58,264
Azusagawa.

17
00:01:59,265 --> 00:02:01,517
Earth to Azusagawa.

18
00:02:02,726 --> 00:02:04,019
Wake up!

19
00:02:07,189 --> 00:02:08,816
Good morning.

20
00:02:09,358 --> 00:02:10,776
Whatever.

21
00:02:10,859 --> 00:02:12,987
Kamisato, you read the next passage.

22
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:14,154
What?!

23
00:02:21,787 --> 00:02:25,457
FRIDAY, JANUARY 16TH

24
00:02:35,050 --> 00:02:36,302
Azusagawa.

25
00:02:36,927 --> 00:02:38,053
You called?

26
00:02:38,137 --> 00:02:40,806
I shouldn't have to. Career survey.

27
00:02:40,889 --> 00:02:43,183
Turn yours in by Monday.

28
00:02:43,267 --> 00:02:44,518
Oh…

29
00:02:44,601 --> 00:02:48,856
Look here, you. Have you even
talked to your parents about it?

30
00:02:49,481 --> 00:02:51,275
I'll turn it in if I don't forget.

31
00:02:51,358 --> 00:02:53,193
I'm telling you not to forget.

32
00:02:58,574 --> 00:03:02,161
What? Is going home with me that boring?

33
00:03:02,244 --> 00:03:05,914
I had a strange dream.
I couldn't stick the wake up.

34
00:03:05,998 --> 00:03:09,835
Why is the end of sixth period
your wake up time?

35
00:03:09,918 --> 00:03:14,798
You'd better pay attention in class. Don't
you want to go to the same college as me?

36
00:03:14,882 --> 00:03:18,761
That's funny. I thought you wanted
to go to the same college as me.

37
00:03:18,844 --> 00:03:23,682
Yes. I do love you more than you love me.

38
00:03:25,184 --> 00:03:29,063
I want to go to the same college as you.

39
00:03:29,730 --> 00:03:31,398
I wonder where it's going.

40
00:03:31,482 --> 00:03:34,443
Looks like Fujisawa. Run for it?

41
00:03:34,526 --> 00:03:37,738
So you can't even wait
one minute more to get home?

42
00:03:37,821 --> 00:03:43,535
When I'm with you, I wish that
the barriers would never raise.

43
00:03:43,619 --> 00:03:45,579
That's poor design, so no.

44
00:03:49,666 --> 00:03:52,586
WINTER IN OKINAWA

45
00:03:54,838 --> 00:03:57,341
So what was your dream about?

46
00:03:58,509 --> 00:04:01,929
The strange dream that you had in class.

47
00:04:02,012 --> 00:04:04,848
You were wearing one of
those elementary school knapsacks.

48
00:04:06,141 --> 00:04:10,854
To be clear, it wasn't you
at your age in the present.

49
00:04:10,938 --> 00:04:16,693
Oh? That is a strange dream.
You're into older women.

50
00:04:18,070 --> 00:04:19,571
But that dream…

51
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:23,409
It isn't Puberty Syndrome, is it?

52
00:04:23,492 --> 00:04:25,619
No, what are the chances?

53
00:04:25,702 --> 00:04:29,164
Puberty Syndromes
seem to like you quite a bit.

54
00:04:29,248 --> 00:04:34,545
We got to know each other this well
thanks to them, so I'm grateful.

55
00:04:36,964 --> 00:04:39,049
We've been through a lot.

56
00:04:39,133 --> 00:04:41,802
We've been through way too much.

57
00:04:43,053 --> 00:04:45,556
I hope Shoko is doing well.

58
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:58,277
Welcome home, Kaede.

59
00:05:00,362 --> 00:05:02,990
I'm home, Mai.

60
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:06,910
You're wearing the coat.

61
00:05:06,994 --> 00:05:09,246
Oh, yes. I like it a lot.

62
00:05:09,329 --> 00:05:11,081
Are you doing okay at school?

63
00:05:11,165 --> 00:05:13,750
She's flying out of the house
in high spirits every morning.

64
00:05:13,834 --> 00:05:17,254
Oh, right, Bro. Um…

65
00:05:17,337 --> 00:05:18,714
What?

66
00:05:18,797 --> 00:05:21,425
What are you doing tomorrow
and the day after?

67
00:05:21,508 --> 00:05:24,386
I plan on fully enjoying
my Saturday and Sunday.

68
00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:25,971
I'm asking if you're free.

69
00:05:28,515 --> 00:05:32,603
I'm working tomorrow.
I have a date with Mai on Sunday.

70
00:05:32,686 --> 00:05:36,815
I'll be busy being a baby to
and being babied by Mai.

71
00:05:37,566 --> 00:05:39,443
Well, that's a problem.

72
00:05:39,526 --> 00:05:43,322
Don't worry, Kaede. I'm busy this weekend.

73
00:05:43,405 --> 00:05:44,865
What? Work?

74
00:05:44,948 --> 00:05:46,491
Well, kind of.

75
00:05:46,575 --> 00:05:47,743
Kind of what?

76
00:05:48,744 --> 00:05:51,622
You're coming home with Sakuta again?

77
00:05:52,206 --> 00:05:53,290
Ryoko?

78
00:05:53,957 --> 00:05:58,128
We're dating,
so it's unnatural to go home separately.

79
00:05:58,212 --> 00:06:01,673
We'll be in trouble if anyone snaps
a scandalous photo of you two.

80
00:06:01,757 --> 00:06:04,009
We announced that
we were dating publicly and on the news.

81
00:06:04,092 --> 00:06:06,094
There's no scandal to be had.

82
00:06:06,178 --> 00:06:09,723
Listen, Mai, I've told you this before…

83
00:06:09,806 --> 00:06:11,934
I understand. I will be careful.

84
00:06:12,017 --> 00:06:15,103
Well, at least you know
the right way to respond.

85
00:06:15,979 --> 00:06:19,066
Anyway, I have a shoot for a soap today.

86
00:06:19,816 --> 00:06:23,153
You'd better listen to
what Kaede has to say, Sakuta.

87
00:06:23,946 --> 00:06:25,781
See you, Kaede.

88
00:06:34,998 --> 00:06:37,125
-Hey, Kaede.
-What?

89
00:06:37,751 --> 00:06:39,753
Are you dissatisfied with Mai

90
00:06:39,836 --> 00:06:41,630
How could I be?

91
00:06:41,713 --> 00:06:45,634
She's nice and pretty and cool.

92
00:06:45,717 --> 00:06:49,012
I want to be like her sometimes.

93
00:06:49,096 --> 00:06:52,683
Then why are you pouting like a blowfish?

94
00:06:52,766 --> 00:06:54,268
It's your fault.

95
00:06:54,351 --> 00:06:55,394
Oh?

96
00:06:55,477 --> 00:06:57,938
You flirt with Mai all day, every day.

97
00:06:58,021 --> 00:07:01,733
And can you blame me?
With a girlfriend that cute?

98
00:07:02,401 --> 00:07:05,404
I know that, but I don't like it.

99
00:07:07,197 --> 00:07:10,075
So, did you want to
do something this weekend?

100
00:07:10,158 --> 00:07:12,202
Miwako wanted to talk…

101
00:07:12,286 --> 00:07:13,120
Talk about what?

102
00:07:13,203 --> 00:07:15,330
She wants to talk about the future.

103
00:07:15,414 --> 00:07:17,499
Oh, the future?

104
00:07:17,583 --> 00:07:19,209
Yeah. The future.

105
00:07:20,335 --> 00:07:22,713
-Whose?
-Mine, obviously!

106
00:07:22,796 --> 00:07:24,590
Well, yeah, it would be.

107
00:07:25,799 --> 00:07:29,970
Miwako wanted Dad to be there too.

108
00:07:30,053 --> 00:07:32,973
On that note, do you know
what you want to do?

109
00:07:33,682 --> 00:07:35,350
What do I want to do?

110
00:07:36,059 --> 00:07:39,187
They didn't even give me time to think.
How am I supposed to know?

111
00:07:43,025 --> 00:07:45,736
SUNDAY, JANUARY 18TH

112
00:07:45,819 --> 00:07:49,531
Thank you for taking time out on a Sunday.

113
00:07:49,615 --> 00:07:52,868
Likewise. Thank you for
taking time out of your weekend.

114
00:07:52,951 --> 00:07:53,952
Help yourself.

115
00:07:54,036 --> 00:07:54,995
Thanks.

116
00:07:55,662 --> 00:07:57,497
So, um…

117
00:07:57,581 --> 00:08:00,792
Can Kaede go to a normal high school?

118
00:08:00,876 --> 00:08:04,463
She will be limited based on her grades,

119
00:08:04,546 --> 00:08:08,258
but there are high schools that will
accept her with performance at this level.

120
00:08:08,342 --> 00:08:10,344
She has several options.

121
00:08:10,427 --> 00:08:15,682
Prefectural high schools weight
academic records heavily, don't they?

122
00:08:15,766 --> 00:08:16,975
Yes, they do.

123
00:08:17,059 --> 00:08:22,356
Kaede would be at a major disadvantage
in applying to a prefectural school.

124
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:26,318
There are private schools that
only consider entrance exam scores,

125
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:32,199
but as a school counselor, I cannot
recommend applying to them.

126
00:08:32,282 --> 00:08:35,035
Students that stop attending middle school

127
00:08:35,118 --> 00:08:39,623
often stop attending high school as well.

128
00:08:39,706 --> 00:08:42,918
Many of them drop out
of school altogether.

129
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:47,214
Full-time schools are only one option.
There are alternatives.

130
00:08:47,297 --> 00:08:49,716
There are many different types of schools.

131
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,639
Remote high schools allow students
to watch pre-recorded classes

132
00:08:55,722 --> 00:08:57,849
at home and at their convenience.

133
00:08:57,933 --> 00:09:01,728
It allows them to distance themselves
from social anxiety and "fitting in."

134
00:09:01,812 --> 00:09:04,106
There are no other differences
from full-time schools.

135
00:09:04,690 --> 00:09:07,734
They still earn
a high school diploma at the end.

136
00:09:07,818 --> 00:09:11,488
I heard that remote schools
have lower graduation

137
00:09:11,571 --> 00:09:15,701
and college acceptance rates.

138
00:09:15,784 --> 00:09:17,452
Yes, they do.

139
00:09:17,536 --> 00:09:21,456
I do not want to say that
remote schooling is strictly better.

140
00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:25,585
Students need to find their own time
and rhythm for their studies.

141
00:09:25,669 --> 00:09:29,840
Family cooperation becomes
an extremely important aspect.

142
00:09:31,758 --> 00:09:33,552
What do you want to do, Kaede?

143
00:09:36,263 --> 00:09:37,723
I…

144
00:09:42,602 --> 00:09:44,020
I want…

145
00:09:44,104 --> 00:09:46,148
to go to school like everyone else.

146
00:09:46,732 --> 00:09:50,110
You'd like to go to a full-time school?

147
00:09:52,612 --> 00:09:55,198
Is there a specific school
you'd like to go to?

148
00:09:55,282 --> 00:09:56,450
Well…

149
00:09:57,117 --> 00:09:59,286
It doesn't hurt to say what you want.

150
00:10:01,163 --> 00:10:03,540
The same school as you, Bro.

151
00:10:04,416 --> 00:10:07,002
I want to go to
the same school as my brother.

152
00:10:07,753 --> 00:10:08,795
I see.

153
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:11,256
You could've just come out and said it.

154
00:10:13,842 --> 00:10:17,721
I'm opposed to you applying to
Minegahara High.

155
00:10:19,014 --> 00:10:21,099
Based on your current test scores,

156
00:10:21,183 --> 00:10:24,019
your chances of
acceptance are effectively zero.

157
00:10:24,102 --> 00:10:27,981
I would like to prepare
a realistic plan for her future.

158
00:10:41,453 --> 00:10:43,413
I suppose she hates me now.

159
00:10:43,497 --> 00:10:47,292
Don't worry. She'll forget about it
after she has some pudding.

160
00:10:51,922 --> 00:10:54,174
-You're going home already?
-Yeah.

161
00:10:54,257 --> 00:10:55,801
Where's Kaede?

162
00:10:55,884 --> 00:10:57,052
She's in her room.

163
00:10:57,135 --> 00:11:00,263
She said goodbye when I told her
I was leaving, so she seems fine.

164
00:11:00,347 --> 00:11:01,306
Got it.

165
00:11:02,432 --> 00:11:03,266
Sakuta.

166
00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:04,601
Hm?

167
00:11:04,684 --> 00:11:06,269
What about your future?

168
00:11:06,770 --> 00:11:11,650
I'll go to college. I'll try to earn
as much of my tuition myself, but…

169
00:11:13,068 --> 00:11:16,488
Could you make up whatever I can't?

170
00:11:17,405 --> 00:11:18,532
Got you.

171
00:11:19,824 --> 00:11:20,992
Was it that funny?

172
00:11:21,076 --> 00:11:23,453
Take care of Kaede for me.

173
00:11:40,971 --> 00:11:44,683
MONDAY, JANUARY 19TH

174
00:11:48,270 --> 00:11:49,938
That was the best thing I've ever tasted.

175
00:11:50,021 --> 00:11:52,148
Thank you for lunch.

176
00:11:52,232 --> 00:11:53,692
You're very welcome.

177
00:11:53,775 --> 00:11:56,444
Really, though, what's gotten
into you today, Mai

178
00:11:56,528 --> 00:12:00,699
Nothing. I just felt like
making lunch for you.

179
00:12:03,618 --> 00:12:05,245
What's that?

180
00:12:05,328 --> 00:12:07,581
A Center Test question packet.

181
00:12:07,664 --> 00:12:09,499
Like past questions?

182
00:12:09,583 --> 00:12:11,418
No, this year's.

183
00:12:11,501 --> 00:12:14,838
Uh, why this year's Center Test?

184
00:12:14,921 --> 00:12:18,592
I took it yesterday and the day before.
I'm checking my answers.

185
00:12:18,675 --> 00:12:23,680
You can enter your answers into the app,
and it spits out your score.

186
00:12:23,763 --> 00:12:26,558
Mai, you took the exam this year?

187
00:12:26,641 --> 00:12:30,395
Didn't you want to stay back a year
and enjoy college life together with me?

188
00:12:30,478 --> 00:12:33,898
I decided to take the exam this year
and take next year off.

189
00:12:34,566 --> 00:12:38,403
I figured that would make you
study like your life depended on it.

190
00:12:39,904 --> 00:12:42,741
You just wished for me
to fail it, didn't you?

191
00:12:42,824 --> 00:12:44,075
I would never!

192
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:48,204
I was just thinking that I'd love a reward
for studying really hard.

193
00:12:49,122 --> 00:12:51,541
Then I'll go on a date
with you this afternoon.

194
00:12:51,625 --> 00:12:53,209
I don't have work today,

195
00:12:53,293 --> 00:12:56,379
and it seems tulips
are blooming in Enoshima right now.

196
00:12:56,463 --> 00:12:58,506
Oh, I'm a little busy today.

197
00:12:59,132 --> 00:13:00,050
Work?

198
00:13:00,634 --> 00:13:02,510
Well, kind of.

199
00:13:02,594 --> 00:13:05,180
Trying to get back at me for Friday?

200
00:13:11,311 --> 00:13:14,272
Huh? I don't remember you
having a shift today.

201
00:13:14,356 --> 00:13:15,732
Waiting for someone.

202
00:13:15,815 --> 00:13:17,067
Sakurajima?

203
00:13:17,150 --> 00:13:18,276
Nope.

204
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,153
Don't cheat on her too much.

205
00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:22,113
Hey, Kunimi.

206
00:13:22,197 --> 00:13:23,073
Hm?

207
00:13:23,156 --> 00:13:25,950
What are you going to do
after you graduate high school?

208
00:13:26,034 --> 00:13:28,036
Take an exam to be a firefighter.

209
00:13:29,412 --> 00:13:32,415
Then I'll be safe
when my place is on fire.

210
00:13:32,499 --> 00:13:34,584
Careful when using the stove.

211
00:13:34,668 --> 00:13:36,252
Did you tell Futaba you were?

212
00:13:36,836 --> 00:13:39,047
Futaba said she'd be careful.

213
00:13:39,130 --> 00:13:40,256
Sakuta.

214
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:41,883
Did I keep you waiting?

215
00:13:41,966 --> 00:13:44,678
No, I only just arrived.

216
00:13:51,101 --> 00:13:53,770
Sakuta's really got
a thing for older women.

217
00:13:56,189 --> 00:13:57,565
I'm home.

218
00:13:59,943 --> 00:14:01,236
Hm?

219
00:14:03,196 --> 00:14:04,322
I'm home…

220
00:14:04,406 --> 00:14:06,783
Oh, welcome home, Sakuta.

221
00:14:06,866 --> 00:14:08,284
I'm using your kitchen.

222
00:14:08,368 --> 00:14:10,286
Why are you here?

223
00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:12,872
I ran into Kaede downstairs.

224
00:14:12,956 --> 00:14:16,626
You didn't tell Kaede you were busy today.

225
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:22,465
So you came over to make dinner
for Kaede because I'd be home late?

226
00:14:22,549 --> 00:14:23,633
Oh, welcome home.

227
00:14:24,217 --> 00:14:25,927
Why are you here, Toyohama?

228
00:14:26,011 --> 00:14:30,181
Sis said she was having dinner
at your place, so I came with her.

229
00:14:30,265 --> 00:14:33,226
Don't come with her.
Learn to be more independent.

230
00:14:33,309 --> 00:14:34,185
Huh?

231
00:14:34,269 --> 00:14:36,730
Sweet Bullet released a concert recording?

232
00:14:36,813 --> 00:14:40,692
It's the concert you went to.
I got a sample, so I brought it with me.

233
00:14:40,775 --> 00:14:42,944
Then should we have
a screening party tonight?

234
00:14:43,028 --> 00:14:46,948
Don't screen it! I'm tutoring
Kaede in English right now!

235
00:14:47,032 --> 00:14:49,534
A straight-A student idol knows her stuff.

236
00:14:53,079 --> 00:14:55,373
You wanted to talk about it
with Sakuta, right?

237
00:15:02,630 --> 00:15:03,882
I…

238
00:15:04,632 --> 00:15:06,593
Uh…

239
00:15:06,676 --> 00:15:07,635
You know, I…

240
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:14,142
I really want to go
to the same high school as you.

241
00:15:24,986 --> 00:15:27,072
Then you'd better fill this out.

242
00:15:30,033 --> 00:15:32,452
PREFECTURAL MINEGAHARA HIGH SCHOOL
APPLICATION (FULL-TIME STUDENT)

243
00:15:35,455 --> 00:15:37,332
I got it from Tomobe earlier.

244
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:41,336
So you'd better study hard.

245
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:46,966
I'll study hard,
but I have a favor to ask you.

246
00:15:49,344 --> 00:15:51,721
I want you to tutor me.

247
00:16:00,063 --> 00:16:02,690
It's not my fault if you fail.

248
00:16:05,944 --> 00:16:08,363
TUESDAY, JANUARY 20TH

249
00:16:08,446 --> 00:16:10,281
Question, Azusagawa.

250
00:16:10,365 --> 00:16:11,533
Hm?

251
00:16:11,616 --> 00:16:16,246
Weren't you going to apply for
the same college as Sakurajima?

252
00:16:16,329 --> 00:16:18,915
Yeah. I told you before.

253
00:16:18,998 --> 00:16:21,042
So I'm crazy busy
studying for entrance exams.

254
00:16:21,126 --> 00:16:22,919
It seems you haven't noticed,

255
00:16:23,002 --> 00:16:25,547
so let me tell you something
as your friend.

256
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:26,464
What?

257
00:16:26,548 --> 00:16:29,843
That's a high school
entrance exam prep book.

258
00:16:29,926 --> 00:16:31,928
Are you really sure you're okay?

259
00:16:32,011 --> 00:16:35,515
I'm reviewing
so I can help Kaede for her exams.

260
00:16:35,598 --> 00:16:38,059
I'm relieved to hear that.

261
00:16:38,643 --> 00:16:40,770
Kaede's applying for a prefectural school?

262
00:16:40,854 --> 00:16:43,982
Yeah. She wants to apply to this school.

263
00:16:44,065 --> 00:16:48,736
I see. You sure have it rough, Azusagawa.

264
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:51,322
Fortunately, you've helped me a lot.

265
00:16:52,532 --> 00:16:54,951
You tutored her over summer.

266
00:16:55,034 --> 00:16:57,996
That was before she got her memories back.

267
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:02,750
I know, but even if
she doesn't remember learning,

268
00:17:02,834 --> 00:17:05,211
she remembers what she learned.

269
00:17:05,295 --> 00:17:08,214
You came here to tell me that?

270
00:17:08,298 --> 00:17:11,926
I came because I have time
to kill before work.

271
00:17:12,010 --> 00:17:16,848
Regardless, I'm glad it wasn't about
another Puberty Syndrome.

272
00:17:16,931 --> 00:17:19,142
Oh, about that.

273
00:17:20,185 --> 00:17:24,397
I saw Mai as an elementary schooler
in a dream. What do you think it means?

274
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,774
I think it's a sign you'll be
put in the pig pen soon.

275
00:17:26,858 --> 00:17:30,737
Don't worry. I much prefer
Mai as she is now.

276
00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:33,323
But seriously now, what do you think?

277
00:17:33,406 --> 00:17:34,824
I don't think it really matters.

278
00:17:34,908 --> 00:17:36,534
What doesn't matter?

279
00:17:36,618 --> 00:17:41,873
Even if your dream was some kind of
Puberty Syndrome, it'll be fine.

280
00:17:41,956 --> 00:17:43,041
Why do you say that?

281
00:17:43,124 --> 00:17:47,045
No matter what happens,
you'll do something to make it right.

282
00:17:47,629 --> 00:17:50,465
Futaba, what do you think I am?

283
00:17:50,548 --> 00:17:53,134
Surprisingly more capable
than anyone thinks.

284
00:17:54,302 --> 00:17:57,472
You have a long track record of it.

285
00:17:57,555 --> 00:18:00,516
Watch what you're saying.
My body's getting all itchy.

286
00:18:01,226 --> 00:18:04,771
There's only so much that
I actually did myself.

287
00:18:05,605 --> 00:18:09,025
FRIDAY, JANUARY 23RD

288
00:18:09,108 --> 00:18:11,527
1,400 WONDERFUL ENGLISH VOCABULARY WORDS

289
00:18:11,611 --> 00:18:13,821
Senpai, what are you doing?

290
00:18:13,905 --> 00:18:15,657
What does it look like I'm doing?

291
00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:17,533
It looks like you're studying.

292
00:18:17,617 --> 00:18:18,910
Correct.

293
00:18:18,993 --> 00:18:21,162
So you're going to college, Senpai?

294
00:18:21,246 --> 00:18:22,497
If I get accepted, yeah.

295
00:18:22,580 --> 00:18:27,252
Are you quitting this job?
Not that it matters to me.

296
00:18:27,335 --> 00:18:31,005
I'll keep working. I need money to get by.

297
00:18:31,673 --> 00:18:33,174
Oh, really?

298
00:18:36,177 --> 00:18:38,721
Anyway, I have
something important to ask you.

299
00:18:38,805 --> 00:18:41,474
What? I'll bet it's something super weird.

300
00:18:41,557 --> 00:18:44,018
Your skirt is way too tight.

301
00:18:44,894 --> 00:18:46,312
Koga, did you put on more weight?

302
00:18:46,396 --> 00:18:48,606
I didn't! And what do you mean, "more"?!

303
00:18:48,690 --> 00:18:51,901
Tell the manager and get a bigger uniform.

304
00:18:51,985 --> 00:18:53,861
Never on your life!

305
00:18:58,116 --> 00:19:00,076
Is that a customer?

306
00:19:00,743 --> 00:19:03,621
I'll go see her. That's my little sister.

307
00:19:03,705 --> 00:19:05,206
Huh? Sister?

308
00:19:05,290 --> 00:19:08,543
Oh, right. You had a sister…

309
00:19:09,794 --> 00:19:10,920
Did you come alone?

310
00:19:11,004 --> 00:19:12,422
Bro?

311
00:19:12,505 --> 00:19:13,423
Um…

312
00:19:13,506 --> 00:19:16,175
Oh, you came with Mai.

313
00:19:16,259 --> 00:19:18,511
Your attitude changed too quickly.

314
00:19:18,594 --> 00:19:22,140
I'm so glad to have your attention
while I'm working.

315
00:19:22,223 --> 00:19:25,893
I came back from a shoot in Nagasaki,

316
00:19:25,977 --> 00:19:28,187
and Kaede said
she still hadn't had dinner.

317
00:19:28,271 --> 00:19:31,399
I need to submit that application
next week, right?

318
00:19:31,482 --> 00:19:32,775
Yeah, you do.

319
00:19:32,859 --> 00:19:35,611
I need to take it to school myself.

320
00:19:35,695 --> 00:19:38,239
I thought it'd be good practice
for going outside.

321
00:19:38,323 --> 00:19:41,784
Even if it was with Mai chaperoning,
good job making it here.

322
00:19:41,868 --> 00:19:44,996
It was easier than
going out in my uniform.

323
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:48,750
There were a lot of people
near the station, so that was scary.

324
00:19:49,375 --> 00:19:51,711
I see. You're doing your best.

325
00:19:57,050 --> 00:19:58,926
Thank you for waiting.

326
00:19:59,010 --> 00:20:01,554
You pasta combo and omelet.

327
00:20:01,637 --> 00:20:03,431
It looks so good.

328
00:20:03,514 --> 00:20:05,224
Let's eat, Kaede.

329
00:20:05,308 --> 00:20:06,559
Yeah.

330
00:20:06,642 --> 00:20:07,602
Thank you for the meal.

331
00:20:07,685 --> 00:20:08,895
Thank you for the meal.

332
00:20:20,948 --> 00:20:22,575
My cheeks feel like they're falling off!

333
00:20:22,658 --> 00:20:26,162
Bro, are my cheeks still attached?

334
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,082
-Bro?
-Huh?

335
00:20:29,165 --> 00:20:31,959
I can't eat with you staring a hole in me.

336
00:20:32,043 --> 00:20:34,253
It's fine. Don't worry.

337
00:20:34,337 --> 00:20:37,590
I don't know what's fine, so I'm worrying.

338
00:20:37,673 --> 00:20:40,301
You were staring into space
like something's up, Bro.

339
00:20:40,385 --> 00:20:44,430
Really? Aren't I always like this
all the time, Mai

340
00:20:44,514 --> 00:20:48,434
Yes. Sakuta is like this every day.

341
00:20:53,189 --> 00:20:55,358
Bro, don't tell me…

342
00:20:55,441 --> 00:20:56,442
What?

343
00:20:59,779 --> 00:21:02,073
Nothing. Never mind.

344
00:21:02,907 --> 00:21:06,452
Oh, right. Bro, are you working
tomorrow and the day after?

345
00:21:07,870 --> 00:21:09,914
I'm working both days.

346
00:21:09,997 --> 00:21:11,165
I see.

347
00:21:11,249 --> 00:21:13,668
So I'll tutor you at night.

348
00:21:13,751 --> 00:21:16,337
Then I'll tutor you during the day.

349
00:21:16,421 --> 00:21:18,339
Huh? Mai, you have the weekend off?

350
00:21:18,423 --> 00:21:23,177
The shoot got rescheduled,
so I have this weekend off too.

351
00:21:23,261 --> 00:21:25,888
I was planning to go on a date
with you either Saturday or Sunday.

352
00:21:25,972 --> 00:21:28,099
It's too bad you're working both days.

353
00:21:31,602 --> 00:21:35,273
SUNDAY, JANUARY 25TH

354
00:21:46,909 --> 00:21:48,786
I hope you didn't get lost.

355
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:50,913
The train came straight here.

356
00:21:50,997 --> 00:21:52,832
I meant in the station.

357
00:21:52,915 --> 00:21:56,419
The way you do that
can get annoying sometimes.

358
00:21:57,003 --> 00:22:00,423
Thank you for taking time to
see me on a weekend.

359
00:22:00,506 --> 00:22:06,012
It's fine. I wanted you to
attend the school info session.

360
00:22:06,095 --> 00:22:09,474
You saved me a call
when you asked me about it.

361
00:22:09,557 --> 00:22:13,060
I think it would be better
if Kaede came herself.

362
00:22:13,144 --> 00:22:18,024
Naturally, that would be best, but she
really does need to focus on studying.

363
00:22:18,691 --> 00:22:22,737
Tomobe, you said you were opposed to
her applying to a prefectural school.

364
00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:25,114
As a school counselor, yes.

365
00:22:25,198 --> 00:22:28,117
The way you separate
your roles inspires confidence.

366
00:22:28,201 --> 00:22:29,035
Thanks.

367
00:22:30,203 --> 00:22:32,246
Sakuta, what do you think?

368
00:22:32,330 --> 00:22:33,331
About what?

369
00:22:33,414 --> 00:22:36,042
Kaede applying for your school.
Do you think she'll be accepted?

370
00:22:37,168 --> 00:22:39,503
I want her to be accepted.

371
00:22:39,587 --> 00:22:43,883
The way you talk can be very frustrating.

372
00:22:43,966 --> 00:22:48,262
I think Kaede knows that
it'll be difficult to get accepted.

373
00:22:49,138 --> 00:22:54,101
She just can't give up
until she tries and sees the result.

374
00:22:54,185 --> 00:22:58,022
Kaede may be hurt by the result.

375
00:22:58,105 --> 00:23:02,526
I'll console her as her brother
if that happens.

376
00:23:02,610 --> 00:23:06,030
You're prepared to take
responsibility then, Sakuta?

377
00:23:06,739 --> 00:23:09,909
You're a wonderful brother, Sakuta.

378
00:23:09,992 --> 00:23:12,578
I think you would make a great teacher.

379
00:23:12,662 --> 00:23:14,789
What? Why would that be?

380
00:23:14,872 --> 00:23:16,499
I think you're cut out for it.

381
00:23:20,294 --> 00:23:23,089
AOBOSHI HIGH SCHOOL INFORMATION SESSION

382
00:23:25,675 --> 00:23:28,094
SCHOOL INFORMATION SESSION

383
00:23:34,350 --> 00:23:39,772
A full-time school entails
30 or 40 students in a single classroom

384
00:23:39,855 --> 00:23:44,610
sharing the same time together
and receiving the same instruction.

385
00:23:45,403 --> 00:23:49,991
This is regardless of
individual needs and abilities.

386
00:23:50,574 --> 00:23:53,494
Our school utilizes instructional videos

387
00:23:53,577 --> 00:23:55,496
that can be watched
on a computer or phone,

388
00:23:55,579 --> 00:23:59,750
so each student can
learn at their own pace.

389
00:23:59,834 --> 00:24:05,172
We believe that remote learning
is a new way of educating,

390
00:24:05,256 --> 00:24:09,135
the classroom of the future.

391
00:24:09,218 --> 00:24:13,139
We believed it so strongly that
we founded this school.

392
00:24:14,223 --> 00:24:16,309
That is all from me.

393
00:24:16,851 --> 00:24:23,691
The following video features actual
students who spent a year with our school.

394
00:24:26,110 --> 00:24:27,278
STUDENT INTERVIEWS

395
00:24:27,361 --> 00:24:28,779
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THE LAST YEAR?

396
00:24:29,363 --> 00:24:35,328
At first, I had doubts about
remote learning with fully online lessons.

397
00:24:35,411 --> 00:24:37,913
Would that really count as high school?

398
00:24:37,997 --> 00:24:41,375
But we do have a uniform,
and we have homeroom in the mornings,

399
00:24:41,459 --> 00:24:44,628
and we take roll
every morning in the chat.

400
00:24:44,712 --> 00:24:47,673
You don't actually need to attend,
but I do every day.

401
00:24:48,466 --> 00:24:52,053
I like watching the other students
talk during homeroom.

402
00:24:52,136 --> 00:24:55,348
I started participating in some of
those conversations myself.

403
00:24:55,431 --> 00:24:57,183
I've even made friends.

404
00:24:57,266 --> 00:24:59,518
I really liked English,

405
00:24:59,602 --> 00:25:03,189
so I went on a short
exchange over the summer to learn more.

406
00:25:03,272 --> 00:25:05,399
You can make clubs too.

407
00:25:05,483 --> 00:25:09,695
At first, we met in the class chat,
and we had similar hobbies.

408
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:14,367
I actually went to
a full-time school before this.

409
00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:18,204
I couldn't really fit in with
the class or make any friends.

410
00:25:18,871 --> 00:25:21,624
I stopped going to school after a while.

411
00:25:21,707 --> 00:25:23,626
She's from Sweet Bullet…

412
00:25:23,709 --> 00:25:26,379
Idols don't wear panties!

413
00:25:26,462 --> 00:25:30,216
They said that I don't know
how to go with the flow,

414
00:25:30,299 --> 00:25:32,676
so I ended up isolated in my class.

415
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,262
But isn't the flow supposed to be
what happens naturally?

416
00:25:36,222 --> 00:25:40,518
So I didn't want to go to school anymore
and stopped going for half a year.

417
00:25:40,601 --> 00:25:45,523
I heard about this school and it piqued
my interest, so I quit my old school.

418
00:25:46,273 --> 00:25:48,317
I have friends now too!

419
00:25:48,401 --> 00:25:51,195
They laugh about how
I just can't go with the flow,

420
00:25:51,278 --> 00:25:53,697
but we all have fun about it.

421
00:25:56,117 --> 00:25:57,827
What was your impression of it?

422
00:25:57,910 --> 00:26:01,539
It felt like a school that idols
that don't wear panties go to.

423
00:26:01,622 --> 00:26:04,542
Panties? Idols?
What are you talking about?

424
00:26:04,625 --> 00:26:06,419
Nothing. Just a note to self.

425
00:26:07,169 --> 00:26:10,840
But it was completely different
from what I expected.

426
00:26:10,923 --> 00:26:14,135
The interviews
all presented the school as fun.

427
00:26:14,802 --> 00:26:16,971
I thought it might be a good one.

428
00:26:26,647 --> 00:26:27,857
I'm home--

429
00:26:28,441 --> 00:26:29,692
Welcome home.

430
00:26:32,445 --> 00:26:35,114
She was studying until late last night.

431
00:26:35,781 --> 00:26:38,492
I put on some tea
so she could have a nice break,

432
00:26:38,576 --> 00:26:40,703
but she fell asleep as soon
as I took my eyes off her.

433
00:26:40,786 --> 00:26:44,957
She's been overexerting
herself lately. Let her have a little nap.

434
00:26:47,501 --> 00:26:48,961
Sakuta, I'm coming in.

435
00:26:54,383 --> 00:26:56,260
Hurry up and get dressed.

436
00:26:56,343 --> 00:26:58,137
If you'll excuse a word, Mai.

437
00:26:58,220 --> 00:26:59,096
What?

438
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:03,434
You opened the door
before I had a chance to respond.

439
00:27:03,517 --> 00:27:04,685
Yes, I did.

440
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:07,313
Eek!

441
00:27:09,690 --> 00:27:11,400
I hope you had a good day at work.

442
00:27:11,484 --> 00:27:13,402
Oh, yeah.

443
00:27:13,486 --> 00:27:15,905
We had a lot of customers.
I'm beat as a dead horse.

444
00:27:15,988 --> 00:27:18,616
I'd love for you to lick my wounds.

445
00:27:21,118 --> 00:27:21,994
What?

446
00:27:22,077 --> 00:27:24,580
And where did you actually go?

447
00:27:24,663 --> 00:27:26,874
What do you mean, actually?

448
00:27:26,957 --> 00:27:30,920
I'm asking you where you actually went

449
00:27:31,003 --> 00:27:33,589
after lying to Kaede
and me that you had work.

450
00:27:39,803 --> 00:27:41,263
Here.

451
00:27:41,764 --> 00:27:43,557
That's what this was about?

452
00:27:43,641 --> 00:27:46,310
Why did you have to
keep it a secret from me?

453
00:27:46,393 --> 00:27:49,355
I didn't want you to have to lie about it.

454
00:27:49,939 --> 00:27:52,691
I'm better at lying than you.

455
00:27:53,526 --> 00:27:59,323
I didn't want Kaede to feel like
she was the only one out of the loop.

456
00:28:00,199 --> 00:28:02,952
That's why I decided to keep it from you.

457
00:28:03,035 --> 00:28:06,205
I can't use it against you
if that's your reason.

458
00:28:06,288 --> 00:28:11,794
So, since you're good at lying,
I'd like you to pretend you didn't know.

459
00:28:11,877 --> 00:28:13,963
When are you going to tell Kaede?

460
00:28:14,046 --> 00:28:18,842
I want her to focus on the prefectural
entrance exam, so maybe after that's over.

461
00:28:18,926 --> 00:28:20,886
I can already tell she'll be shocked.

462
00:28:20,970 --> 00:28:24,932
She wants your full support
in her exams. She'll hate you for it.

463
00:28:25,015 --> 00:28:28,185
You're going to console me
when that happens, so that's okay.

464
00:28:28,269 --> 00:28:31,021
I'll be on Kaede's side when that happens.

465
00:28:31,105 --> 00:28:32,314
What?

466
00:28:32,398 --> 00:28:35,109
I don't want Kaede to hate me, you know?

467
00:28:35,192 --> 00:28:38,529
I wish you would think more about me.

468
00:28:38,612 --> 00:28:40,531
I'm always thinking about you.

469
00:28:43,534 --> 00:28:45,744
I'm glad your scars are gone.

470
00:28:45,828 --> 00:28:47,663
-Huh?
-Your chest.

471
00:28:47,746 --> 00:28:52,626
Personally, I think a man should show off
at least that much of a wild side.

472
00:28:52,710 --> 00:28:55,421
Put on some clothes
before you catch a cold.

473
00:28:55,504 --> 00:28:58,132
Even though I haven't done
anything with you yet?

474
00:29:08,142 --> 00:29:09,977
Bro, are you home?

475
00:29:12,271 --> 00:29:14,148
Kaede, it's not what it looks like!

476
00:29:14,231 --> 00:29:17,651
THURSDAY, JANUARY 29TH

477
00:29:23,198 --> 00:29:24,783
Sensei.

478
00:29:24,867 --> 00:29:25,993
What?

479
00:29:26,076 --> 00:29:27,411
Can I go to the bathroom?

480
00:29:27,494 --> 00:29:28,787
Hold it in.

481
00:29:28,871 --> 00:29:29,955
Bottle please.

482
00:29:30,456 --> 00:29:31,749
Just go.

483
00:29:31,832 --> 00:29:34,043
It's a number two, so I might be a while.

484
00:29:34,126 --> 00:29:35,586
Too much information.

485
00:29:50,309 --> 00:29:52,895
APPLICATION DROP OFF

486
00:29:52,978 --> 00:29:54,271
Excuse me.

487
00:29:54,355 --> 00:29:55,272
Yes?

488
00:29:55,356 --> 00:29:58,567
Has a girl named Kaede Azusagawa
submitted her application?

489
00:29:58,651 --> 00:29:59,485
Excuse me?

490
00:29:59,568 --> 00:30:03,489
She's my little sister. She hasn't been
to school for a long time.

491
00:30:03,572 --> 00:30:05,741
I want to make sure she submitted it.

492
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:08,202
Give me one second.

493
00:30:12,706 --> 00:30:14,708
Can you bring the application
to my school alone?

494
00:30:14,792 --> 00:30:16,627
I'll be fine.

495
00:30:17,252 --> 00:30:18,921
It seems she hasn't.

496
00:30:19,004 --> 00:30:20,714
Thank you very much.

497
00:30:22,967 --> 00:30:24,677
Is she gonna make it?

498
00:31:08,637 --> 00:31:09,555
Huh?

499
00:31:09,638 --> 00:31:12,766
What's wrong? You came to submit
your application, right?

500
00:31:12,850 --> 00:31:14,309
Yeah.

501
00:31:16,311 --> 00:31:19,106
Hello.

502
00:31:19,189 --> 00:31:21,108
Submitting your application?

503
00:31:21,191 --> 00:31:22,484
Yes.

504
00:31:33,370 --> 00:31:35,914
-Here's my application.
-Of course.

505
00:31:35,998 --> 00:31:39,084
You are… Kaede Azusagawa?

506
00:31:39,168 --> 00:31:40,252
Yes.

507
00:31:40,335 --> 00:31:42,296
Thank you for your application.

508
00:31:42,379 --> 00:31:43,922
Do your best on the exam.

509
00:31:44,715 --> 00:31:45,924
Yes.

510
00:31:47,134 --> 00:31:49,678
Bro, why are you here?

511
00:31:49,762 --> 00:31:53,807
I had an urge to hit the can
during class and happened to pass by.

512
00:31:53,891 --> 00:31:56,060
Do you have to go outside
to reach the toilet?

513
00:31:57,770 --> 00:32:00,105
The wind is strong near the shore.

514
00:32:02,483 --> 00:32:03,776
Wh… What?

515
00:32:03,859 --> 00:32:05,778
You really did your best today.

516
00:32:05,861 --> 00:32:08,238
All I did was submit an application.

517
00:32:09,198 --> 00:32:11,742
Well, I'm gonna go home now.

518
00:32:11,825 --> 00:32:13,327
-Hold on, Kaede.
-What?

519
00:32:13,410 --> 00:32:16,371
-Let me see under that mitten.
-No!

520
00:32:22,002 --> 00:32:23,420
No, it's not like that!

521
00:32:23,504 --> 00:32:24,338
Listen, Kaede.

522
00:32:24,421 --> 00:32:25,964
It's fine! It'll go away soon!

523
00:32:26,048 --> 00:32:27,633
I can take the exam just fine!

524
00:32:27,716 --> 00:32:29,843
I can go to high school!

525
00:32:29,927 --> 00:32:32,513
So please, don't tell me I can't.

526
00:32:33,639 --> 00:32:35,891
I can still do this.

527
00:32:35,974 --> 00:32:36,809
KAEDE AZUSAGAWA

528
00:32:36,892 --> 00:32:38,352
I can still…

529
00:32:38,435 --> 00:32:39,645
I can do this…

530
00:32:39,728 --> 00:32:44,191
Hey, Kaede, why do you want to
come to this school?

531
00:32:51,198 --> 00:32:53,867
Well, it doesn't really matter.

532
00:32:53,951 --> 00:32:56,370
I just picked whatever school was around.

533
00:32:56,453 --> 00:32:58,705
Bro, what?

534
00:32:58,789 --> 00:33:01,416
No one said that you couldn't.

535
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:02,501
Really?

536
00:33:02,584 --> 00:33:05,879
If you want to do it,
I'll let you go as far as you can.

537
00:33:05,963 --> 00:33:08,215
No matter what anyone else says.

538
00:33:08,298 --> 00:33:10,259
-Really?
-Really.

539
00:33:10,342 --> 00:33:15,013
But in exchange, you have to tell me
just how bad your bruises get.

540
00:33:15,681 --> 00:33:17,057
Okay.

541
00:33:19,226 --> 00:33:20,435
Thanks.

542
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:21,728
For what?

543
00:33:21,812 --> 00:33:25,315
You came out
to make sure I was okay. Thanks.

544
00:33:25,399 --> 00:33:28,235
Careful on your way back. Don't slip.

545
00:33:28,318 --> 00:33:31,113
You're not supposed to
say that before my exam.

546
00:35:13,465 --> 00:35:17,219
FEBRUARY 16TH, EXAM DAY

547
00:35:34,361 --> 00:35:35,904
Rise and shine.

548
00:35:35,988 --> 00:35:38,699
Wake up. You're gonna be late.

549
00:35:38,782 --> 00:35:40,325
The exam's today.

550
00:35:40,409 --> 00:35:42,202
Bro, what time is it?!

551
00:35:42,286 --> 00:35:43,495
Seven.

552
00:35:43,578 --> 00:35:46,790
Oh, come on. I'm not gonna be late.

553
00:35:46,873 --> 00:35:49,167
I was so nervous, I couldn't sleep.

554
00:35:49,710 --> 00:35:52,796
What if I get sleepy during the exam?!

555
00:35:52,879 --> 00:35:57,342
All the other kids were
too nervous to sleep too. It's fine.

556
00:35:57,426 --> 00:35:58,343
Were they really?

557
00:35:58,927 --> 00:36:00,721
Everyone's the same there.

558
00:36:00,804 --> 00:36:03,598
Right. We're all the same there.

559
00:36:04,308 --> 00:36:06,310
Was it like that for you too?

560
00:36:06,393 --> 00:36:09,187
I was so nervous, I had to
hit the can during the exam.

561
00:36:09,271 --> 00:36:11,315
That'd make me even more nervous.

562
00:36:11,398 --> 00:36:12,816
Number two, by the way.

563
00:36:12,899 --> 00:36:14,985
That's gross.

564
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,071
Scrambled eggs!

565
00:36:18,155 --> 00:36:19,364
-Thanks for breakfast.
-Thanks for breakfast.

566
00:36:23,076 --> 00:36:25,370
They're just like Mai's scrambled eggs!

567
00:36:25,454 --> 00:36:28,290
I had Mai teach me how she made hers.

568
00:36:28,373 --> 00:36:29,708
They're yummy!

569
00:36:29,791 --> 00:36:32,252
Eat quick, or you'll really be late.

570
00:36:32,336 --> 00:36:34,546
It'd be a waste to just wolf them down.

571
00:36:34,629 --> 00:36:37,716
If you like them that much,
I'll make them tomorrow too.

572
00:36:38,258 --> 00:36:43,805
But I think Mai's
scrambled eggs taste better.

573
00:36:43,889 --> 00:36:44,931
Yeah, that goes without saying.

574
00:36:45,015 --> 00:36:47,059
She's my Mai.

575
00:36:48,643 --> 00:36:51,104
Don't forget to take this with you.

576
00:36:51,188 --> 00:36:52,064
What's that?

577
00:36:52,147 --> 00:36:53,774
What does it look like?

578
00:36:53,857 --> 00:36:54,733
A lunch box.

579
00:36:54,816 --> 00:36:55,692
Correct.

580
00:36:55,776 --> 00:36:58,487
I told you yesterday that
I'd get something from the store,

581
00:36:58,570 --> 00:36:59,780
so don't worry!

582
00:36:59,863 --> 00:37:01,907
If you don't want it, I'll have it.

583
00:37:01,990 --> 00:37:03,533
I want it!

584
00:37:03,617 --> 00:37:05,577
Don't shake it too hard.
You'll scramble the insides.

585
00:37:07,662 --> 00:37:09,623
So, like, Bro…

586
00:37:09,706 --> 00:37:10,874
Yeah?

587
00:37:10,957 --> 00:37:12,959
Thanks for making me lunch.

588
00:37:13,502 --> 00:37:14,503
I appreciate it.

589
00:37:15,170 --> 00:37:17,798
-You got your applicant ID?
-Yeah.

590
00:37:17,881 --> 00:37:18,840
Lunch?

591
00:37:18,924 --> 00:37:19,883
Got it.

592
00:37:19,966 --> 00:37:21,051
Pencils and erasers?

593
00:37:21,134 --> 00:37:22,552
They're in there.

594
00:37:22,636 --> 00:37:24,388
You haven't forgotten anything else?

595
00:37:24,471 --> 00:37:25,305
Yeah.

596
00:37:31,186 --> 00:37:33,021
That scarf is really nice.

597
00:37:33,105 --> 00:37:35,857
Mai gave it to me. It's really warm.

598
00:37:35,941 --> 00:37:38,235
That's my Mai.

599
00:37:38,819 --> 00:37:40,987
Bro, is that all you know how to say?

600
00:37:41,780 --> 00:37:45,158
Well, you did everything you could,
so go do everything you can.

601
00:37:45,242 --> 00:37:46,201
Yeah.

602
00:37:46,284 --> 00:37:48,703
Tell the proctor if you need anything.

603
00:37:48,787 --> 00:37:49,955
Yeah.

604
00:37:50,038 --> 00:37:52,457
-Well, then…
-Oh, wait, Bro…

605
00:37:52,541 --> 00:37:53,417
Hm?

606
00:37:54,835 --> 00:37:56,128
Come on.

607
00:37:56,211 --> 00:37:58,255
-You know…
-Yeah?

608
00:37:59,423 --> 00:38:01,758
I'll do my best too.

609
00:38:01,842 --> 00:38:03,260
Do your best, but not too hard.

610
00:38:03,343 --> 00:38:06,138
Hey, I'm being serious here.

611
00:38:06,221 --> 00:38:08,515
You worked so hard, what more can you do?

612
00:38:10,434 --> 00:38:13,687
Anyway, I'll do my best too.

613
00:38:16,731 --> 00:38:18,400
Look, the train's here.

614
00:38:18,483 --> 00:38:21,403
Yeah. Thanks for taking me.

615
00:38:35,834 --> 00:38:39,254
ENTRANCE EXAM VENUE

616
00:39:01,234 --> 00:39:03,278
Guess it's lunchtime.

617
00:39:12,245 --> 00:39:14,623
A SPECIAL SOMEONE
YOU CAN ONLY MEET DURING WINTER

618
00:39:16,374 --> 00:39:19,836
My Mai is just so cute.

619
00:39:20,545 --> 00:39:22,339
Even if she never calls.

620
00:39:25,258 --> 00:39:27,177
I hear destiny knocking.

621
00:39:28,094 --> 00:39:29,221
MAI SAKURAJIMA

622
00:39:29,304 --> 00:39:31,181
You know, Mai.

623
00:39:31,264 --> 00:39:32,390
What?

624
00:39:32,474 --> 00:39:34,309
Have you ever heard of Valentine's Day?

625
00:39:34,392 --> 00:39:36,603
Has anyone not heard of it?

626
00:39:36,686 --> 00:39:39,231
I thought maybe you hadn't.

627
00:39:39,314 --> 00:39:40,857
I have heard of it.

628
00:39:40,941 --> 00:39:42,651
Then when is it?

629
00:39:42,734 --> 00:39:45,278
Two days ago, on February 14th.

630
00:39:45,362 --> 00:39:47,072
Then what kind of day is it?

631
00:39:47,155 --> 00:39:51,618
For you, a day for you to
get love-filled chocolates from me

632
00:39:51,701 --> 00:39:54,454
and have a sweet moment.

633
00:39:54,538 --> 00:39:59,084
More specifically, a day for you
to dress in a bunny girl costume

634
00:39:59,167 --> 00:40:01,878
and feed me
chocolates as I lie in your lap.

635
00:40:01,962 --> 00:40:05,966
The chocolate would go down your windpipe.

636
00:40:06,049 --> 00:40:07,759
More importantly, how's Kaede?

637
00:40:07,842 --> 00:40:11,805
Thanks to you, she left this morning
full of anticipation for the exam.

638
00:40:11,888 --> 00:40:13,723
And what were you doing?

639
00:40:13,807 --> 00:40:16,977
I was studying in anticipation
of you praising me.

640
00:40:17,060 --> 00:40:19,396
Yes, yes. Good boy.

641
00:40:19,479 --> 00:40:21,815
I'd love a reward.

642
00:40:21,898 --> 00:40:24,526
You can have one
after I'm done with my exams.

643
00:40:24,609 --> 00:40:25,443
Really?!

644
00:40:25,527 --> 00:40:27,988
What, you're not happy about it?

645
00:40:28,071 --> 00:40:34,744
I thought you wouldn't let me lay a single
finger on you until I got into college.

646
00:40:34,828 --> 00:40:35,996
If I did that,

647
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:38,373
I wouldn't be able to touch you either.

648
00:40:38,957 --> 00:40:41,126
Mai, feeling frustrated?

649
00:40:41,209 --> 00:40:43,295
Not in a sexual way.

650
00:40:44,462 --> 00:40:46,339
Mai, did something happen?

651
00:40:46,423 --> 00:40:47,882
Why ask now?

652
00:40:47,966 --> 00:40:50,844
No. The shoot's going fine.

653
00:40:50,927 --> 00:40:53,430
Should I go there and hold you tight now?

654
00:40:53,513 --> 00:40:56,558
Ryoko will give me an earful, so no.

655
00:40:56,641 --> 00:40:59,853
You wait faithfully
for Kaede to come home.

656
00:40:59,936 --> 00:41:03,440
I need to go now. Ryoko's calling for me.

657
00:41:21,333 --> 00:41:23,460
Hello, Azusagawa residence.

658
00:41:23,543 --> 00:41:27,005
Ah, I'm a teacher
with Minegahara High School.

659
00:41:27,088 --> 00:41:29,633
It's me, Sensei. Did Kaede--

660
00:41:29,716 --> 00:41:31,509
Did something happen to my sister?

661
00:41:33,928 --> 00:41:35,889
It seems she got sick during lunch.

662
00:41:35,972 --> 00:41:40,644
She's resting in the infirmary now,
but she doesn't want to talk to anyone.

663
00:41:40,727 --> 00:41:42,479
I'd like to get in contact
with your parents–

664
00:41:42,562 --> 00:41:44,147
I'll be there right away!

665
00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:46,608
I'll call my parents about it myself.

666
00:42:08,588 --> 00:42:15,553
INFIRMARY

667
00:42:36,908 --> 00:42:37,951
Kaede.

668
00:42:39,035 --> 00:42:41,538
It's me. Can you come out?

669
00:42:42,956 --> 00:42:44,249
Does it hurt?

670
00:42:46,376 --> 00:42:49,087
I heard you started
feeling sick during lunch.

671
00:42:50,672 --> 00:42:53,883
Was it because of the lunch I made you?

672
00:42:55,301 --> 00:42:57,929
Lunch tasted great.

673
00:42:58,596 --> 00:43:02,600
It was so good that it made you sick.

674
00:43:02,684 --> 00:43:04,060
Of course not.

675
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:09,941
I left early this morning,
so I arrived before everyone else.

676
00:43:10,024 --> 00:43:12,444
Leaving early was a good idea.

677
00:43:12,527 --> 00:43:16,197
At first, I was scared
to go into the classroom,

678
00:43:16,281 --> 00:43:20,201
but no one looked at me,
so I could get to my seat.

679
00:43:20,285 --> 00:43:21,536
I see.

680
00:43:21,619 --> 00:43:25,331
The first exam was English.
I breezed through it.

681
00:43:25,415 --> 00:43:28,334
The questions that Nodoka
taught me were on it.

682
00:43:28,418 --> 00:43:30,044
I thought I had it in the bag.

683
00:43:30,128 --> 00:43:34,883
Toyohama's aiming to be
a straight-A student idol.

684
00:43:34,966 --> 00:43:36,718
The second exam was Japanese.

685
00:43:36,801 --> 00:43:40,472
The vocab questions that
Mai taught me were on it.

686
00:43:40,555 --> 00:43:42,223
I got those right too.

687
00:43:42,307 --> 00:43:44,684
That's my Mai.

688
00:43:44,768 --> 00:43:50,774
The third exam was math, and the factoring
questions you drilled me on were on it.

689
00:43:50,857 --> 00:43:53,318
You studied those really hard.

690
00:43:53,860 --> 00:43:59,616
The lunch you made me was great, and I was
ready to do my best in the afternoon too.

691
00:44:00,575 --> 00:44:01,951
But then…

692
00:44:02,702 --> 00:44:04,245
But then…

693
00:44:05,663 --> 00:44:07,540
Another girl wearing my uniform was there.

694
00:44:08,625 --> 00:44:13,129
When I was in the hallway going
to the bathroom, our eyes met…

695
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:25,725
When I thought people
were watching me, I got scared.

696
00:44:26,601 --> 00:44:28,603
I started feeling sick.

697
00:44:31,147 --> 00:44:32,982
I wanted to do my best.

698
00:44:33,066 --> 00:44:35,819
I wanted to go back to the classroom
where everyone else was,

699
00:44:35,902 --> 00:44:39,906
but when I thought I had to go back,
my chest tightened up.

700
00:44:39,989 --> 00:44:42,200
I was too scared to go back.

701
00:44:42,283 --> 00:44:44,702
I couldn't stop being scared…

702
00:44:44,786 --> 00:44:47,539
You did your best, Kaede.

703
00:44:47,622 --> 00:44:49,874
I haven't done my best!

704
00:44:49,958 --> 00:44:52,794
You did, and that's
why you're so frustrated.

705
00:44:54,504 --> 00:44:56,005
I haven't done my best!

706
00:44:56,673 --> 00:44:59,509
I haven't done my best at all!

707
00:45:00,134 --> 00:45:03,471
I haven't done my best.
I couldn't even finish.

708
00:45:03,555 --> 00:45:08,268
I haven't done my best.
Even though I wanted to, I…

709
00:45:08,351 --> 00:45:10,270
You did your best, Kaede.

710
00:45:10,353 --> 00:45:12,146
I watched you the whole time. Believe--

711
00:45:12,230 --> 00:45:15,984
The other me tried way harder!

712
00:45:16,859 --> 00:45:20,572
It's all because the other me was there.

713
00:45:23,241 --> 00:45:25,952
Your hard work is your own hard work.

714
00:45:26,786 --> 00:45:31,291
Mai and Nodoka were so kind to me

715
00:45:31,374 --> 00:45:35,503
because the other me always did her best.

716
00:45:36,504 --> 00:45:40,425
The other me gave all this to me.

717
00:45:41,134 --> 00:45:44,262
She gave me all of everyone's kindness.

718
00:45:44,345 --> 00:45:48,975
Meanwhile, I… I can't do anything.

719
00:45:49,058 --> 00:45:51,144
I can't give her anything back.

720
00:45:51,227 --> 00:45:54,731
It's fine. You don't need to
give anything back.

721
00:45:54,814 --> 00:46:01,029
I'm sure the other me was better.
The other me would've done better.

722
00:46:01,112 --> 00:46:01,946
Listen, Kaede.

723
00:46:02,030 --> 00:46:06,993
You too, Bro. You liked
the other me better, didn't you?

724
00:46:20,214 --> 00:46:22,300
Azusagawa, can I come in?

725
00:46:26,137 --> 00:46:27,597
Should I come back later?

726
00:46:29,015 --> 00:46:32,143
No, it's fine. What is it?

727
00:46:32,226 --> 00:46:34,354
The exams are over.
The classroom is empty.

728
00:46:35,104 --> 00:46:38,316
Your sister's belongings
are still in the classroom.

729
00:46:54,540 --> 00:46:57,669
I'll bet she didn't have a chance
to look at the sea.

730
00:47:01,714 --> 00:47:02,548
Is this…?

731
00:47:02,632 --> 00:47:03,800
KAEDE AZUSAGAWA

732
00:47:03,883 --> 00:47:06,302
She even brought it with her?

733
00:47:10,390 --> 00:47:13,810
SEVEN: DOCK WITH BRO'S BACK.

734
00:47:13,893 --> 00:47:17,313
MOM WAS TALKING TO THE DOCTOR ABOUT
SOME SICKNESS. AM I SICK?

735
00:47:24,237 --> 00:47:27,407
I want to go to
the same high school as Bro.

736
00:47:27,490 --> 00:47:28,950
That is my dream.

737
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:39,293
That's right… That was Kaede's dream…

738
00:47:41,421 --> 00:47:45,466
The dream that Kaede couldn't fulfill…

739
00:47:46,092 --> 00:47:50,513
I really want to go
to the same high school as you.

740
00:47:51,180 --> 00:47:53,599
I want you to tutor me.

741
00:47:54,142 --> 00:47:55,935
I'll do my best too.

742
00:48:07,822 --> 00:48:09,115
Toyohama?

743
00:48:09,198 --> 00:48:11,617
It's me. Azusagawa.

744
00:48:11,701 --> 00:48:13,119
What's the big idea?

745
00:48:13,202 --> 00:48:15,121
-I have a favor to ask.
-Huh?

746
00:48:15,705 --> 00:48:18,791
You're the only one I can ask.

747
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:22,920
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH

748
00:48:36,142 --> 00:48:39,103
Mai, you smell really good.

749
00:48:39,187 --> 00:48:40,938
Quit sniffing me.

750
00:48:41,022 --> 00:48:42,690
What are you listening to, Mai?

751
00:48:42,774 --> 00:48:44,901
A girl from my agency told me that

752
00:48:44,984 --> 00:48:47,820
this was all the rage
in middle and high schools.

753
00:48:47,904 --> 00:48:50,823
TOKO KIRISHIMA – SOCIAL WORLD MUSIC VIDEO

754
00:48:53,117 --> 00:48:55,661
How's Kaede been since then?

755
00:48:55,745 --> 00:48:58,039
She's in a deep depression.

756
00:48:58,122 --> 00:48:58,956
I see.

757
00:48:59,624 --> 00:49:01,042
She did her best too…

758
00:49:01,125 --> 00:49:04,962
This is something Kaede
needs to get over on her own.

759
00:49:05,046 --> 00:49:05,880
Yeah.

760
00:49:07,048 --> 00:49:09,967
It's too bad, but this is
the end of today's date.

761
00:49:10,051 --> 00:49:11,803
I'm free for the next five minutes.

762
00:49:11,886 --> 00:49:14,055
Well, I'm going home now.

763
00:49:14,806 --> 00:49:18,434
Any words for your girlfriend
who has an exam next week?

764
00:49:19,477 --> 00:49:21,062
Do your best.

765
00:49:24,857 --> 00:49:26,317
I'm home.

766
00:49:36,828 --> 00:49:39,080
Welcome home, Bro.

767
00:49:39,163 --> 00:49:41,123
Yeah, I'm home.

768
00:49:44,585 --> 00:49:46,838
You know…

769
00:49:46,921 --> 00:49:47,755
Hm?

770
00:49:47,839 --> 00:49:49,298
About the other day…

771
00:49:49,382 --> 00:49:50,258
The other day?

772
00:49:50,967 --> 00:49:52,635
Exam day.

773
00:49:52,718 --> 00:49:53,553
Yeah?

774
00:49:54,470 --> 00:49:57,223
About what I said to you that day…

775
00:50:00,643 --> 00:50:02,770
Actually, never mind.

776
00:50:04,522 --> 00:50:05,773
Hey, Kaede.

777
00:50:05,857 --> 00:50:07,149
Wh… What?

778
00:50:07,733 --> 00:50:09,193
Are you free tomorrow?

779
00:50:13,739 --> 00:50:18,119
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST

780
00:50:18,202 --> 00:50:20,621
Bro, where are we going?

781
00:50:20,705 --> 00:50:21,831
We're already here.

782
00:50:22,665 --> 00:50:23,875
This is where we're going?

783
00:50:24,375 --> 00:50:28,337
I know it was around here somewhere…

784
00:50:28,421 --> 00:50:31,257
Kaede, can you help me
look for the event stage?

785
00:50:31,340 --> 00:50:33,467
Huh? Event?

786
00:50:38,472 --> 00:50:39,765
Bro!

787
00:51:14,717 --> 00:51:16,469
Hello, everyone!

788
00:51:16,552 --> 00:51:18,638
We are Sweet Bullet!

789
00:51:19,639 --> 00:51:22,391
I've never seen Nodoka perform before!

790
00:51:22,475 --> 00:51:23,434
She's amazing!

791
00:51:23,517 --> 00:51:25,019
The other members are amazing too.

792
00:51:25,102 --> 00:51:28,689
Coming back here
really gets us so excited!

793
00:51:28,773 --> 00:51:30,274
Huh?

794
00:51:30,358 --> 00:51:32,485
Huh? Only me?

795
00:51:32,568 --> 00:51:36,155
Zukky, what do you mean by
"coming back here"?

796
00:51:36,238 --> 00:51:38,950
Isn't this the place
where we did our first concert?

797
00:51:40,618 --> 00:51:41,452
Huh?

798
00:51:41,535 --> 00:51:44,121
Didn't we do
our first concert here? We didn't?

799
00:51:44,205 --> 00:51:45,831
This is our first time here!

800
00:51:45,915 --> 00:51:49,877
No way! Aliens must've
modified my memories!

801
00:51:49,961 --> 00:51:51,087
What now?!

802
00:51:51,170 --> 00:51:52,797
Don't blame some innocent aliens!

803
00:51:54,215 --> 00:51:58,511
Going to a full-time school wasn't
right for the lead vocals girl there.

804
00:51:58,594 --> 00:52:01,055
She goes to
a fully remote learning school.

805
00:52:01,138 --> 00:52:01,973
Huh?

806
00:52:02,056 --> 00:52:05,309
I kept this a secret from you,
but I went to a school info session.

807
00:52:05,393 --> 00:52:08,187
She happened to be
one of the student interviews.

808
00:52:08,270 --> 00:52:09,772
Oh, really?

809
00:52:09,855 --> 00:52:12,733
Anyway, time for the next song!

810
00:52:12,817 --> 00:52:16,487
This is our last song today,
so let's burn everything we got left!

811
00:52:16,570 --> 00:52:18,656
Yeah!

812
00:52:21,033 --> 00:52:23,661
So about Minegahara High…

813
00:52:24,328 --> 00:52:29,458
If you want to attend,
I'll give you my full support.

814
00:52:29,542 --> 00:52:32,169
But the exams are already over.

815
00:52:32,253 --> 00:52:34,964
There can still be
a second application round.

816
00:52:35,715 --> 00:52:40,636
But if you don't personally
want to attend Minegahara High,

817
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:43,639
you don't need to force yourself to go.

818
00:52:43,723 --> 00:52:46,475
Mai and Toyohama feel the same way.

819
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:50,271
Dad and Tomobe wouldn't want it either.

820
00:52:50,354 --> 00:52:54,233
And the other Kaede
who wrote that diary too.

821
00:52:54,984 --> 00:52:57,528
I'd be happy

822
00:52:57,611 --> 00:53:02,575
if the current you can spend every day
feeling little moments of happiness.

823
00:53:02,658 --> 00:53:04,285
All I want is for you

824
00:53:04,368 --> 00:53:09,540
to smile over little things
and feel like things are kind of fun.

825
00:53:11,125 --> 00:53:13,586
Say you did get into Minegahara High.

826
00:53:13,669 --> 00:53:18,299
If you had to suffer your way through,
I wouldn't be the least bit happy.

827
00:53:18,382 --> 00:53:20,301
Yeah, but…

828
00:53:20,384 --> 00:53:24,096
I really want to be
the same as everyone else.

829
00:53:24,180 --> 00:53:26,682
Being different is shameful.

830
00:53:26,766 --> 00:53:29,685
Do you think the lead vocalist
feels the same way?

831
00:53:33,898 --> 00:53:36,150
I think she's amazing.

832
00:53:36,233 --> 00:53:38,736
Even if she's
different from everyone else?

833
00:53:39,528 --> 00:53:40,863
I don't know.

834
00:53:40,946 --> 00:53:44,950
Then why not think about
your future after talking to her?

835
00:53:45,034 --> 00:53:46,535
Talk to her?

836
00:53:46,619 --> 00:53:50,081
I asked Toyohama to get you
some time with her after this.

837
00:53:50,164 --> 00:53:53,334
I thought you could
learn more about her school.

838
00:54:07,014 --> 00:54:08,808
-Bro.
-Yeah?

839
00:54:08,891 --> 00:54:12,103
Are you sure I don't need to
go to Minegahara High?

840
00:54:12,937 --> 00:54:16,941
You know, the other Kaede
was always doing her very best.

841
00:54:17,817 --> 00:54:20,653
She suddenly woke up in a hospital bed.

842
00:54:20,736 --> 00:54:24,532
She didn't know where or who she was.

843
00:54:25,074 --> 00:54:27,201
She had to be so scared.

844
00:54:27,284 --> 00:54:28,160
Yeah.

845
00:54:28,244 --> 00:54:32,623
She did her absolute best
to become my little sister.

846
00:54:33,249 --> 00:54:37,670
By becoming my little sister,
she made me her older brother.

847
00:54:37,753 --> 00:54:40,923
The other me was really amazing.

848
00:54:41,006 --> 00:54:45,386
That's why I was so sad that I could
barely take it when she disappeared.

849
00:54:45,469 --> 00:54:48,180
You wouldn't believe how hard I cried.

850
00:54:48,264 --> 00:54:50,349
Just remembering it
makes me feel like crying again.

851
00:54:51,433 --> 00:54:53,144
You did like her better--

852
00:54:53,227 --> 00:54:54,311
But you know, Kaede,

853
00:54:54,395 --> 00:54:59,024
as hard as I cried then, I was also happy.

854
00:54:59,108 --> 00:55:01,610
-I was really happy.
-Huh?

855
00:55:01,694 --> 00:55:04,071
Because the current you came back.

856
00:55:05,656 --> 00:55:07,825
Bro, do you mean it?

857
00:55:07,908 --> 00:55:09,869
Of course I do.

858
00:55:09,952 --> 00:55:12,705
Man, what do you take me for?

859
00:55:12,788 --> 00:55:14,915
How would I know that?!

860
00:55:14,999 --> 00:55:18,294
Unless you told me, how would I know?!

861
00:55:18,377 --> 00:55:23,924
I thought that you liked
the other me better! That's why…

862
00:55:24,758 --> 00:55:28,512
I had to… I thought I had to
be her replacement.

863
00:55:28,596 --> 00:55:32,141
I would never like either of you
more than the other.

864
00:55:32,224 --> 00:55:33,309
Really?

865
00:55:33,392 --> 00:55:34,810
I like you both at a normal level.

866
00:55:34,894 --> 00:55:35,936
What the heck?

867
00:55:36,020 --> 00:55:40,316
You're both my little sisters,
so you're both normal to me.

868
00:55:40,399 --> 00:55:43,819
I can't say I love my little sister.
That'd get me arrested.

869
00:55:49,825 --> 00:55:51,577
You know, Bro…

870
00:55:51,660 --> 00:55:52,494
Hm?

871
00:55:52,578 --> 00:55:55,539
I want to go to the zoo sometime.

872
00:55:55,623 --> 00:55:57,917
You need to get the money's
worth out of the yearly pass.

873
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,501
I want to see the pandas.

874
00:55:59,585 --> 00:56:01,503
I didn't know you liked pandas too.

875
00:56:01,587 --> 00:56:04,673
I have respect for pandas.

876
00:56:04,757 --> 00:56:08,219
Everyone looks at them that much,
and they're perfectly fine with it.

877
00:56:08,302 --> 00:56:09,470
Pandas are amazing.

878
00:56:09,553 --> 00:56:11,138
I get it.

879
00:56:11,222 --> 00:56:13,390
Oh! Sakuta!

880
00:56:13,474 --> 00:56:15,809
Over here!

881
00:56:16,393 --> 00:56:18,187
Let's get moving first!

882
00:56:18,270 --> 00:56:19,438
Get in, get in!

883
00:56:19,521 --> 00:56:21,106
Uh, sure.

884
00:56:26,278 --> 00:56:28,489
So, once again, I'm Uzuki Hirokawa.

885
00:56:28,572 --> 00:56:30,366
I'm Sakuta Azusagawa.

886
00:56:30,449 --> 00:56:33,327
Oh, uh… I'm Kaede Azusagawa.

887
00:56:33,410 --> 00:56:34,495
Nice to meet you!

888
00:56:34,578 --> 00:56:36,914
Nice to meet you too.

889
00:56:36,997 --> 00:56:43,128
You're both Azusagawas, so I'll call you
Sakuta and you Kaede, okay?

890
00:56:43,212 --> 00:56:45,297
What do you want to call me?

891
00:56:45,381 --> 00:56:46,924
Uh…

892
00:56:47,007 --> 00:56:48,884
I'll just call you Hirokawa.

893
00:56:48,968 --> 00:56:50,761
You can call me Zukky, you know?

894
00:56:50,844 --> 00:56:52,554
I call you that in my heart.

895
00:56:52,638 --> 00:56:53,931
I like that!

896
00:56:54,014 --> 00:56:56,267
-Do you do that for Doka too?
-Of course.

897
00:56:56,350 --> 00:56:57,434
Don't!

898
00:56:57,518 --> 00:56:58,978
Hey, Toyohama…

899
00:56:59,061 --> 00:56:59,979
What?

900
00:57:00,062 --> 00:57:01,730
I can see your panties.

901
00:57:01,814 --> 00:57:03,440
-Oh, you're right.
-Don't look!

902
00:57:03,524 --> 00:57:04,733
Uzuki!

903
00:57:04,817 --> 00:57:06,026
Everyone can see your panties.

904
00:57:06,110 --> 00:57:07,778
-Since you turned around!
-Huh?

905
00:57:07,861 --> 00:57:10,155
Don't spread your legs
that much in a miniskirt!

906
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,157
And that's dangerous, so face forward!

907
00:57:12,241 --> 00:57:15,536
Excuse me, but could you
introduce us to the nice girl driving?

908
00:57:15,619 --> 00:57:17,663
He just called you a nice girl, Mom!

909
00:57:17,746 --> 00:57:19,540
That's dangerous! Stop it!

910
00:57:19,623 --> 00:57:20,874
I'm Uzuki's mother.

911
00:57:22,126 --> 00:57:24,712
Didn't you want to ask about her school?

912
00:57:24,795 --> 00:57:28,048
Oh, right! Ask anything you'd like, Kaede!

913
00:57:28,132 --> 00:57:28,966
Okay.

914
00:57:29,049 --> 00:57:33,971
Uh, what made you want to go
to the school you attend now?

915
00:57:34,054 --> 00:57:36,265
Because my mom found it for me?

916
00:57:36,348 --> 00:57:38,350
Don't answer a question with a question!

917
00:57:38,434 --> 00:57:40,936
What? But it's true.

918
00:57:41,020 --> 00:57:43,314
I completely stopped going to school,

919
00:57:43,397 --> 00:57:47,693
and you brought home a pamphlet
and asked me why not go to this school.

920
00:57:48,277 --> 00:57:51,322
I started doing idol stuff
halfway through middle school,

921
00:57:51,405 --> 00:57:56,201
so I had dance lessons and stuff, so I
didn't have time to hang out with anyone.

922
00:57:56,285 --> 00:57:58,787
If you turn down a few invitations,

923
00:57:58,871 --> 00:58:01,665
they stop inviting you at all.
For girls, anyway.

924
00:58:01,749 --> 00:58:03,375
Yeah, that's it!

925
00:58:03,459 --> 00:58:07,004
I wanted to do things
better in high school, but…

926
00:58:07,087 --> 00:58:09,798
I was only going to
skip school for one day.

927
00:58:10,633 --> 00:58:14,428
But then I skipped the next day too,
and I stayed at home the next day.

928
00:58:14,511 --> 00:58:16,221
Then I just stayed at home every day.

929
00:58:16,305 --> 00:58:20,059
How did you feel as her mother
when that happened?

930
00:58:20,142 --> 00:58:23,187
Frankly, I didn't know what to do.

931
00:58:23,937 --> 00:58:26,940
I was at my wits' end.
Maybe I even lost them.

932
00:58:27,024 --> 00:58:29,151
I couldn't really do anything for her.

933
00:58:29,234 --> 00:58:32,112
Maybe you think of me
as a failure of a mother.

934
00:58:32,196 --> 00:58:33,989
I'd never think that.

935
00:58:34,073 --> 00:58:38,535
You never told me to go to school,
and that made it easier for me.

936
00:58:38,619 --> 00:58:41,830
I wasn't exactly big on going
to school back in my day either.

937
00:58:41,914 --> 00:58:44,083
You can't tell now, but I was a bad girl.

938
00:58:44,166 --> 00:58:46,710
Don't worry. I can see it.

939
00:58:46,794 --> 00:58:48,712
You're a funny one, Sakuta!

940
00:58:49,463 --> 00:58:54,760
But yeah, while I didn't want to force her
to go to school when she didn't want to,

941
00:58:54,843 --> 00:58:58,097
as her mother,
I did want her to graduate high school.

942
00:58:58,180 --> 00:59:01,100
Both me and my family don't really care
about academic records and all that,

943
00:59:01,183 --> 00:59:03,811
but you can't keep yourself
fed your whole life as an idol.

944
00:59:03,894 --> 00:59:05,813
I'll keep myself fed! I can do it!

945
00:59:05,896 --> 00:59:09,566
Basically, parents are
just worried about their kids.

946
00:59:09,650 --> 00:59:13,862
So I wanted Uzuki to attend
a school that she wanted to attend.

947
00:59:13,946 --> 00:59:16,824
That's when I learned about
remote learning and night schools

948
00:59:16,907 --> 00:59:19,743
and handed her a pamphlet for a school.

949
00:59:28,752 --> 00:59:31,296
You talk and explain everything now.

950
00:59:31,380 --> 00:59:33,507
I'll be waiting at that cafe over there.

951
00:59:39,888 --> 00:59:41,557
Of all places…

952
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,644
Good job, Zukky. An idol
that doesn't know what flow means.

953
00:59:45,728 --> 00:59:47,604
Huh? Did I screw something up?

954
00:59:47,688 --> 00:59:49,565
I told you, didn't I?!

955
00:59:49,648 --> 00:59:50,607
Told me what?

956
00:59:51,984 --> 00:59:54,278
Ah! I'm so sorry, Kaede!

957
00:59:54,361 --> 00:59:56,155
It's okay.

958
00:59:56,238 --> 00:59:59,658
I'm a little surprised, but I'm doing
better than I thought I would.

959
00:59:59,742 --> 01:00:02,494
And I wanted to come back to this beach.

960
01:00:03,245 --> 01:00:06,206
-Kaede, are you sure you're okay?
-Yeah.

961
01:00:06,290 --> 01:00:09,626
Really? Then let's head down to the beach!

962
01:00:09,710 --> 01:00:11,295
Don't worry, it's okay, Nodoka!

963
01:00:11,378 --> 01:00:13,464
She's supposed to tell you that!

964
01:00:19,553 --> 01:00:23,223
You know, my school right now
is really fun!

965
01:00:23,307 --> 01:00:26,101
I wasn't too thrilled
about going at first,

966
01:00:26,185 --> 01:00:28,103
but I was young and stupid.

967
01:00:28,187 --> 01:00:30,647
Isn't that normal for everyone?

968
01:00:30,731 --> 01:00:32,733
What makes what normal?

969
01:00:32,816 --> 01:00:35,152
When you differentiate
between full-time and remote,

970
01:00:35,235 --> 01:00:36,487
you try to spot the differences.

971
01:00:36,570 --> 01:00:40,991
I think it would be awesome
not having to go to school every day.

972
01:00:41,074 --> 01:00:45,037
People who can go to school
every day aren't allowed to say that!

973
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,122
Oh, yeah. You're right.

974
01:00:47,206 --> 01:00:50,209
I wish more people
would think like you though.

975
01:00:50,876 --> 01:00:55,923
For me, the school info session changed
my mental image of a remote school.

976
01:00:56,006 --> 01:00:59,510
I know, right?
That's how it was for me too.

977
01:00:59,593 --> 01:01:02,805
I thought school was a specific place
you went to at a specific time

978
01:01:02,888 --> 01:01:07,726
to meet specific people
and listen to a specific lecture.

979
01:01:07,810 --> 01:01:09,478
That's wrong?

980
01:01:09,561 --> 01:01:11,772
Not completely.

981
01:01:11,855 --> 01:01:17,236
At the info session,
they said it didn't have to be that way.

982
01:01:17,319 --> 01:01:22,699
You don't need to change yourself
to fit with the school.

983
01:01:22,783 --> 01:01:25,369
You can choose the school that fits you.

984
01:01:25,452 --> 01:01:28,747
Then did you decide on this school
after going to the info session?

985
01:01:28,831 --> 01:01:30,290
Hmm…

986
01:01:30,374 --> 01:01:34,336
I think I only really
decided on the ride home from it.

987
01:01:34,419 --> 01:01:39,675
I thought it might work for me, but
I was like, "But it's remote learning…"

988
01:01:39,758 --> 01:01:43,762
That's when my mom told me
that when she was pregnant with me,

989
01:01:43,846 --> 01:01:47,224
everyone told her that
she should get an abortion.

990
01:01:47,808 --> 01:01:51,353
I mean, my mom had me when she was 18.

991
01:01:52,229 --> 01:01:56,483
But then you ended up
growing into a fine young lady.

992
01:01:56,567 --> 01:01:59,278
Yeah. Everyone wanted me gone,

993
01:01:59,361 --> 01:02:03,949
but my mom had me
and raised me for this long.

994
01:02:04,032 --> 01:02:06,243
It made me think about
what "everyone" really means.

995
01:02:06,869 --> 01:02:11,582
I even straight-up asked my mom
that, like, what is "everyone"?

996
01:02:11,665 --> 01:02:13,667
What did your mom tell you?

997
01:02:14,334 --> 01:02:17,880
Uzuki, what makes you happy isn't
something everyone decides for you.

998
01:02:17,963 --> 01:02:20,257
You decide what makes you happy.

999
01:02:20,340 --> 01:02:22,426
Your mom's knows how to talk.

1000
01:02:22,509 --> 01:02:24,720
Seriously. She's way too cool.

1001
01:02:24,803 --> 01:02:29,558
So you decided on your school
thanks to your mom?

1002
01:02:29,641 --> 01:02:31,435
And Nodoka too.

1003
01:02:31,518 --> 01:02:32,352
Huh?

1004
01:02:32,436 --> 01:02:36,565
Well, not only Nodoka.
It's thanks to everyone in Sweet Bullet.

1005
01:02:36,648 --> 01:02:41,278
When I stopped going to school,
they still hung out with me like before.

1006
01:02:41,361 --> 01:02:43,989
And it's thanks to all our fans too.

1007
01:02:44,072 --> 01:02:46,950
I couldn't fit in at my old school,

1008
01:02:47,034 --> 01:02:51,955
but I could feel that the members
and our fans and my mom were there for me.

1009
01:02:52,039 --> 01:02:54,207
That made me think that
that was my "everyone,"

1010
01:02:54,291 --> 01:02:59,129
and there were still more
"everyones" that I hadn't met yet,

1011
01:02:59,212 --> 01:03:02,799
and that made me want to go to my school.

1012
01:03:02,883 --> 01:03:05,302
Yeah. I'm sure that's it.

1013
01:03:06,386 --> 01:03:08,847
Can I ask you one last question?

1014
01:03:08,931 --> 01:03:10,682
Ask as many questions as you want!

1015
01:03:10,766 --> 01:03:12,935
Uzuki, um…

1016
01:03:13,018 --> 01:03:15,270
There's a you that
went to your old school,

1017
01:03:15,354 --> 01:03:17,564
and a you that goes to your new school.

1018
01:03:17,648 --> 01:03:19,024
Which do you like more?

1019
01:03:19,107 --> 01:03:21,652
I like both the same.

1020
01:03:21,735 --> 01:03:25,781
I mean, the old me
made the current me possible.

1021
01:03:30,661 --> 01:03:33,288
I see. That's how it is.

1022
01:03:33,372 --> 01:03:35,374
Yeah! It is!

1023
01:03:46,176 --> 01:03:50,597
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH

1024
01:03:53,642 --> 01:03:55,852
Oh, there's Komi!

1025
01:03:55,936 --> 01:03:56,812
Komi!

1026
01:03:56,895 --> 01:03:59,398
Kae! I can't believe it's been two months!

1027
01:03:59,481 --> 01:04:01,525
Yeah! Thanks so much for coming!

1028
01:04:01,608 --> 01:04:05,612
Of course, I'd come! I was so happy
when you sent me that e-mail.

1029
01:04:05,696 --> 01:04:09,825
Thank you for coming to see me too.

1030
01:04:09,908 --> 01:04:13,829
No problem. I had to go out
and get stuff from the supermarket anyway.

1031
01:04:16,289 --> 01:04:17,708
Welcome, Kotomi.

1032
01:04:17,791 --> 01:04:19,584
Thank you for having me.

1033
01:04:20,252 --> 01:04:22,212
Sakuta, did you get the soy sauce?

1034
01:04:22,295 --> 01:04:23,130
Yeah.

1035
01:04:23,213 --> 01:04:25,340
You sent the e-mail on this?

1036
01:04:25,424 --> 01:04:27,092
Mai gave it to me.

1037
01:04:27,175 --> 01:04:31,847
It's my old computer. I'm not using it,
so I thought Kaede could.

1038
01:04:31,930 --> 01:04:35,058
Look, Komi. This is the school.

1039
01:04:35,142 --> 01:04:38,979
Oh, wow. You can study all these things?

1040
01:04:39,062 --> 01:04:43,233
It's a remote learning school,
but we have a homeroom teacher.

1041
01:04:43,316 --> 01:04:45,694
I can study at my own pace,

1042
01:04:45,777 --> 01:04:50,365
and I can take classes with affiliated
schools for subjects I'm interested in.

1043
01:04:50,449 --> 01:04:52,075
That's so amazing.

1044
01:04:52,159 --> 01:04:55,746
I know, right? I can take
so many different classes.

1045
01:04:55,829 --> 01:04:58,707
-No, I mean you're amazing.
-Huh?

1046
01:04:58,790 --> 01:05:02,794
I didn't do any research
when I chose my school.

1047
01:05:02,878 --> 01:05:07,716
The teacher said that I'd probably go here
based on my grades. That's how I chose it.

1048
01:05:07,799 --> 01:05:10,260
You're so much more independent, Kae.

1049
01:05:22,147 --> 01:05:23,982
Miwako…

1050
01:05:24,066 --> 01:05:25,400
Can I answer it?

1051
01:05:25,484 --> 01:05:27,569
Yeah, please.

1052
01:05:30,614 --> 01:05:33,325
Hello. Azusagawa residence.

1053
01:05:34,826 --> 01:05:37,037
Yes, this is Kaede.

1054
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:41,708
My brother is here too, but I saw
it was you, so I wanted to answer it.

1055
01:05:41,792 --> 01:05:42,876
Yes.

1056
01:05:44,002 --> 01:05:46,171
Huh? I got accepted?

1057
01:05:46,797 --> 01:05:50,592
Yes. Yes.

1058
01:05:51,218 --> 01:05:53,220
She'd like to talk to you, Bro.

1059
01:05:55,180 --> 01:05:56,473
This is Sakuta.

1060
01:05:56,556 --> 01:05:58,350
Sakuta, congratulations.

1061
01:05:58,433 --> 01:06:01,853
Kaede was accepted into Minegahara High.

1062
01:06:01,937 --> 01:06:03,688
Huh? How?

1063
01:06:03,772 --> 01:06:06,441
They didn't reach
their registration quota.

1064
01:06:06,525 --> 01:06:09,361
Didn't you say it was
going to be really competitive?

1065
01:06:09,444 --> 01:06:12,823
At first, there were twice as many
applicants as available spots,

1066
01:06:12,906 --> 01:06:15,492
but then a lot of applicants
changed their target schools.

1067
01:06:15,575 --> 01:06:17,452
They thought they'd
never get in with those odds.

1068
01:06:17,536 --> 01:06:21,540
People were further frightened
when social media became an echo chamber.

1069
01:06:21,623 --> 01:06:22,707
I see.

1070
01:06:22,791 --> 01:06:27,337
Regardless of how she got in,
Kaede made it into Minegahara High.

1071
01:06:27,420 --> 01:06:28,255
I see.

1072
01:06:28,338 --> 01:06:29,840
There's some paperwork you'll need to do,

1073
01:06:29,923 --> 01:06:32,551
so can you call me as soon as you
decide what you're going to do?

1074
01:06:32,634 --> 01:06:35,178
Yes. I'll talk to Kaede about it.

1075
01:06:43,770 --> 01:06:46,064
Bro, I…

1076
01:06:46,148 --> 01:06:48,733
I'm not going to Minegahara High.

1077
01:06:48,817 --> 01:06:51,403
I'm going to find
the school I want to go to.

1078
01:06:57,826 --> 01:06:59,411
They fell below quota?

1079
01:06:59,494 --> 01:07:02,539
Yeah. Tomobe said
to call her as soon as possible

1080
01:07:02,622 --> 01:07:05,167
because there's paperwork to do.

1081
01:07:05,250 --> 01:07:08,837
I was thinking of
calling her tonight about that.

1082
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:10,672
Can you come by tomorrow?

1083
01:07:10,755 --> 01:07:11,590
Got it.

1084
01:07:11,673 --> 01:07:15,552
I'll stop by in the evening
after I visit Mom in the hospital.

1085
01:07:15,635 --> 01:07:17,053
And then after that--

1086
01:07:17,137 --> 01:07:19,639
Anyway, I need to head to work now.

1087
01:07:19,723 --> 01:07:22,017
Oh, then I'll leave with you.

1088
01:07:22,100 --> 01:07:26,104
My mom told me not to impose too much.

1089
01:07:26,188 --> 01:07:28,481
You're welcome to stay all night.

1090
01:07:32,110 --> 01:07:34,196
Kae's so amazing.

1091
01:07:34,279 --> 01:07:35,197
Amazing?

1092
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,157
If I were in Kae's shoes,

1093
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,328
I'm sure I'd say
I wanted to go to a full-time school.

1094
01:07:41,411 --> 01:07:44,080
Because you want to be
the same as everyone else?

1095
01:07:44,164 --> 01:07:45,165
Yeah.

1096
01:07:45,248 --> 01:07:49,336
Well, Kaede was lucky
to meet someone who helped.

1097
01:07:49,419 --> 01:07:53,048
Someone who went to a fully remote school
was there to talk it over with her.

1098
01:07:53,548 --> 01:07:55,258
But yeah, luck was part of it,

1099
01:07:55,342 --> 01:07:58,011
but she came to
the decision independently.

1100
01:07:58,094 --> 01:08:02,349
You'd better tell that to Kae.
She'll be really happy.

1101
01:08:02,432 --> 01:08:04,601
No way. She'll start getting cheeky.

1102
01:08:04,684 --> 01:08:06,978
Then I'll tell her you said that.

1103
01:08:08,605 --> 01:08:09,731
Hey, wait…

1104
01:08:09,814 --> 01:08:12,234
Oh, she replied already.

1105
01:08:12,317 --> 01:08:13,276
What did she write?

1106
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,904
"Bro would never say that.
He's an impostor."

1107
01:08:15,987 --> 01:08:17,405
What do you say?

1108
01:08:18,782 --> 01:08:22,661
So Kaede learned to tell jokes, huh?

1109
01:08:27,707 --> 01:08:30,627
After I lined up for hours too!

1110
01:08:30,710 --> 01:08:32,879
They were sold out.
That's just how it goes.

1111
01:08:32,963 --> 01:08:34,506
What?!

1112
01:08:35,215 --> 01:08:37,217
Come with me next time, Kaede!

1113
01:08:37,300 --> 01:08:39,135
Yeah! I can't wait to try
that limited parfait!

1114
01:08:39,219 --> 01:08:45,016
KAEDE AZUSAGAWA

1115
01:12:48,343 --> 01:12:49,719
MARCH 1ST

1116
01:12:49,802 --> 01:12:51,262
COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

1117
01:12:51,346 --> 01:12:55,099
So I'll never see you
in a uniform ever again?

1118
01:12:55,183 --> 01:12:58,811
And this is my last time
going home from school with you.

1119
01:12:58,895 --> 01:13:00,813
So you wanna go to my place tonight?

1120
01:13:00,897 --> 01:13:03,399
Wait for me on the beach
after the ceremony.

1121
01:13:26,256 --> 01:13:27,590
Mai

1122
01:13:31,010 --> 01:13:33,596
Who are you, mister?

1123
01:13:43,690 --> 01:13:47,193
