01x01 - A Tiny Happenstance

[bunniefuu]

Okay, that's all for today.

Next year is the entrance exam.

Just assume that you have
no summer vacation next year.

So if you want to go
to the beach or the pool

you'll have to go this year,

and I can be your companion at any time.

Seriously?

Who wants to be there with a teacher?

Are you kidding me, Ishikawa?

Do you think I'd want to go
to the beach and pool with boys?

Oh, you are right.

Are they stupid?

Yasuda is good-looking
when he doesn't speak.

His lessons are also easy to understand.

Just ignore that kind of guy.

Hori, did something happen
with you and Mr. Yasuda?

Today…

Hori, please don't mind it.

What is it? That's sudden.

Let me tell you,
I love flat-chested girls.

You have to be confident and positive!

He tried to encourage me.

I'm sorry. I don't really get it.

That's right, Hori.

What's up?

Some guy from another school
asked for your contact details.

What should I do?

Can I tell him?

If he doesn't ask
on his own, he is disqualified.

Reject him for me.

This time too?

Hey, let's go for karaoke after school.

Karaoke?

Today is the last day
for their discount vouchers.

Two hours of karaoke
at half price. That's cheap!

Let's go, Hori.

Let's go.

Well…

I'm sorry. I'll pass.

You say no every time.

I'm really sorry.

Hori.

What?

You dropped your phone.

Oh, thank you.

Miyamura seems really gloomy.

Though he's always like that.

He's probably a nerd.

This angle is awesome.

The type who says, "What a cutie"?

Yes. Something like that.

Is it true, Toru?

I'm not really close to him.

He always seems to be alone.

I'm sorry. I'll get going now!

Hori always rushes home, doesn't she?

She probably has a boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Well, she is really popular.

It's not surprising if she has one.

All right!

Hello, Mom?

I understand. I'll cook dinner.

It can't be helped
if you need to work overtime.

Got it.

It's about time to go there.

LION CLASS

Sota.

Kyoko!

Welcome back.

KARAOKE

That's right.

Let's go to the cafe
featured in that magazine.

-Are you serious?
-Yes.

-Let's go!
-Let's have steak for dinner tonight.

That's great!

Overtime and work on the weekend.

She just can't reject
when being asked for a favor.

Can't she do something
about that personality of hers?

Kyoko.

Yes?

What's wrong?

{\an}DRIPPING

Sota!

What happened to you?

I fell.

Seriously? You did not have
a handkerchief with you?

I'm sorry.

He seems fine now. I'll excuse myself.

I didn't notice him at all!

Well…

Sorry for all the trouble.

It's fine. I'll head out now.

{\an}What?

Sota?

Well, I…

Excuse me…

If you're not in a hurry,

come inside and have a seat.

Sure, but…

I would like to thank you, anyway.

Please come in.

He got startled by a dog and fell.

I'm sorry you had to walk him home.

No, I'm sorry to bother you.

Mister.

Is the coffee bitter?

It's very bitter.

He's a bright kid.

He was even able
to spell his name clearly.

It's nothing like that.

He's always clumsy and it's worrying.

But I never would have guessed
that you take care of all the chores.

It's very surprising, Hori.

It's nothing.

Wait. You are Hori, right? From Class .

I…

Yes, I'm Hori.

What?

Do you attend the same school as me?

What are you talking about?

I'm your classmate, Miyamura.

What?

What?

Are they really the same person?

I still can't believe it.

Hori, you have a weird expression.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Really?

Wait… Hori?

Miyamura.

I'd like to have a word with you.

What?

I can visit your house again?

It's not me. It's Sota.

Sota said he wants to play with you again.

Really?

Then I'll buy him
a picture book next time.

You don't have to do that.

My, this is great!

Sota would be so happy.

I was surprised.

Why?

I didn't expect you to come and talk to me

because of what happened yesterday.

I thought…

you would avoid me for sure.

I wouldn't do such a thing.

What?

I mean, it's kind of awkward indeed.

I was taken by surprise too.

{\an}You looked completely different
from when you are at school,

but I'm the same as well.

{\an}Personally,
that's not a reason to avoid you…

{\an}Why are you blushing?

{\an}No, it's because I'm not used to this.

{\an}It feels a little embarrassing.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

So this is how you look when you smile.

What?

You should put up your hair

like what you did yesterday,

and remove your glasses too.

If I do so,
my piercings would be very obvious.

You have quite a few piercings,
right? How many do you have?

Nine, I guess.

Four on each ear and one on my mouth.

That's a lot.

My mom said the same thing.

Since Miyamura started coming to my house,

I realized a few things.

Though I love reading comics,
I wouldn't say, "What a cutie."

He's not a nerd.

I brought some cakes.

His family seems to run a bakery shop.

It's really painful when I pierced them.

They were pierced
with safety pins during middle school.

One more thing.

{\an}ENGLISH MID-TERM TEST, POINTS
MATHEMATICS MID-TERM TEST, POINTS

Not quite there…

He's not really good at studying.

You're amazing, Hori.

Most of your subjects score over .

It's nothing.

Aren't quiet people with glasses
usually good in their studies?

Is that so?

{\an}After spending time with him,

{\an}I realized that the impression

{\an}I had of Miyamura was totally
different from how he really is.

What's that? A supermarket brochure?

That's right.

For tomorrow, the eggs…

Oh, his bottom eyelashes
are surprisingly long.

Hori?

{\an}There's a limited-time sale on eggs.

{\an}There's no purchase limit,
plus it's very cheap.

But it's only until p.m.

It'll be fine.

As long as there are no
sudden class affairs to attend to,

I can get lots of eggs and go home.

After school, all class representatives

are to report to the audiovisual room.

Why does it have to be now?

However,

I will not…

give up just like that!

Hori!

YOU'RE COMING OVER TODAY, RIGHT?
I'LL LEAVE THE EGGS TO YOU.

She's asking me to go get them!

Not only is the weather hot,

but there are only minutes left.

I'll take the shortcut!

-What?
-I'm sorry! The eggs…

Wait!

"Eggs"?

Well, I'm really sorry.

Housewives are scary.

I'm never going to another sale.

By the way, well…

I happened to run into…

What? Who did you run into?

The girl that you call Yuki.

You said you ran into her…

-Do you mean with how you look now?
-Right.

I think she didn't recognize me.

I see.

{\an}-Thank you for the food!
-Thank you for the food!

Be careful. You might spill it.

Okay.

Somehow…

I don't really want

anyone besides me

to see this side of you.

I'm sorry. It's nothing!

Forget about it!

I forgot to get the drinks.

Is barley tea okay?

Miyamura, are you not going to eat?

Hori.

Actually…

The way that you look now,

{\an}the fact that you can cook,

how you would yell with a loud voice,

how you didn't care
about your hair at home,

how you have great muscles and--

Stop it already!

I don't really want anyone else
to see this side of you either.

Neither do I.

It feels like

all these moments belong to me only.

Stop…

{\an}Stop it with this nonsense!

{\an}I would like my tea.

Thank you.

Goodness…

How can he say
such embarrassing stuff with a calm face?

Does he not feel self-conscious at all?

Such an idiot.

You're really an idiot.

-Idiot.
-She's still saying it.

What an idiot.

-Idiot…
-She doesn't stop once she gets started.

-I see.
-What an idiot…

Idiot…

{\an}It's true.

{\an}What are you laughing at?

Everyone has a side

that they don't wish others to see.

It's not that I dislike
how you are at school.

But the way that you got mad earlier

or how casual you are at home…

You are cuter this way.

We now share a time that only we know.

Say what you want, idiot.

The weather is just going to get hotter.

You're right.

I'll suffer more in this blazer.

Well, anyway…

Hori! What do I do?

Swimming classes are starting soon.

I'm done for!

Oh, now that you mentioned it…

Isn't it fine?

It's better
than running a marathon on a hot day.

It's not fine at all!

They will see these!

What do you mean "these"?

What do I do with these?

Sometimes I can't tell

if you are just incredible

or that you are really stupid.

I'm glad
that swimming class is an elective.

Right.

But what if I have
to run a marathon in long sleeves?

I'll probably die from a heat stroke.

A marathon should be out of the question.

Don't you think

they seem to be with each other a lot?

I didn't expect it to be him.

Hori!

Lend me your notes.

Me too!

Seriously, stop relying on others so much.

Thank you, Hori!

How popular.

Well… Who do you mean?

Hori.

Oh, right.

People who excel
in academics are impressive.

Miyamura.

Yes? What?

You seem to be getting along
with Hori recently.

Are you two dating?

No, there's no way we would be dating!

{\an}I thought so.

You don't look good together.

Yes, Hori is too good for me.

Too good…

Well…

Speak louder, please!

It's rare for them to be together.

Hori, let's go.

I'm sorry.

Ishikawa.

You like Hori, don't you?

What?

So what if I do?

Wait. I was right?

That's why you glared at me

whenever I talked to Hori!

That's right. So…

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you liked Hori.

Not so loud, idiot!

I'm sorry!

It was a secret?

I'm really sorry.

Hey, what are you guys doing?

The next period is PE.

-What?
-What?

We're going to be late anyway.
Let's just take it slow.

Let me ask you.

I have been wondering.

It's already summer.
What's with the winter uniform every day?

That's because…

-I can't stand the cold.
-You're sweating.

Though I shouldn't be telling you this,

only Hori has seen

what's underneath this shirt.

Hori? Why?

But if you will tell the teachers…

I won't!

It would be troubling
if someone finds out.

So please help keep it a secret.

What are those? Tattoos?

Wait, are they real?

Yes.

You really can't wear
the summer uniform like this.

-That's right.
-It's unbelievable.

Honestly, I thought you were
some gloomy and creepy nerd.

I seemed to have been mistaken.

You are basically right,
except that I'm not a nerd.

It's fine.

Now that I have a closer look,

he's kind of good-looking.

Though his hair is really long.

Are we having the class in the stadium?

Hori likes this kind of look?

Yes?

Wait! You even have piercings?

Shut up!

Next!

You're interesting.

You shouldn't have gotten them
if you're going to hide them.

{\an}It's already done before I realized it.
Don't you have those moments too?

No, I don't.

I won't tell anyone
if you want to keep it a secret,

but I was thinking about
how you and Hori got so close suddenly.

It wasn't really that sudden.

It started a while ago.

Besides, it's more like
she doesn't mind being around me.

We are really just friends.

Then I'm going to confess to Hori.

Is that okay?

Why are you asking me?

Well, I just thought I had to.

That's up to Hori to decide.

You skipped class, didn't you?

Toru…

You are also the team leader in PE,

but you left all the work to me!

I'm sorry!

Reflect on yourself!

Stop already.

So you were with Toru.

That's rare.

Oh, right.

We were talking.

Wait, why are you avoiding me?

I'm not.

Then look me in the eye and tell me.

No, that's…

What's wrong? Did I do anything wrong?

No, it's nothing like that.

Hori.

What?

I have something to tell you.

Do you have time after school?

After school?

Wait!

Hori.

I will pick Sota up from school.

-Just listen to what Ishikawa has to say.
-What?

{\an}But…

She's back!

If they start dating each other,

I'll be in their way.

Sota, I'm sorry for coming home late.

I will start making dinner soon.

All right.

Welcome home.

I have something to tell you.

There's no helping it
if she asks me to stop coming.

Toru told me.

I see.

You said I'm too good for you.

Do you mean it?

And…

You said that it's me
who doesn't mind being around you.

Is that really true?

Wait…

Forget that. What about Ishikawa?

-Toru is not important right now!
-What?

Did you say that?

Did you really say that, Miyamura?

I did.

That's how you see it?

That's what you think
when you come over to my house?

It's not like that!

It's not…

It's just as Ishikawa said,

I am gloomy and insignificant.

I was afraid
that it would affect your reputation

or give you any trouble.

So I don't really mean those words.

Hori, why…

Why…

Why do you care about
what people think of me?

Don't just decide on your own
and let it be!

Don't ever say such a thing anymore!

You idiot!

I'm sorry.

Hori, I'm sorry.

Just thinking about it…

-makes me angry!
-That hurts!

Wait, Hori?

If you stop coming over,

who is going to wake me up

when I fall asleep watching movies?

-If you stop coming over for dinner,
-What?

there will be leftovers!

Toru?

Oh, I rejected him.

Is that so? But he's a nice guy.

What? That's creeping me out.

Do you like Toru or something?

Both of you should just be together.

What?

I don't think I'd look good with Ishikawa.

That's your point?

Good morning, Miyamura.

Listen…

Yesterday, I…

You don't have to say it, Ishikawa!

You're a great guy.

What's wrong?

No idea.

Maybe someone confessed.

Who did?
