01x03 - Episode Three

[bunniefuu]

-You just ate though!
-Just one piece of bread!

I just wanted to be together.

That's all it used to be.

Yamato!

Kakeru?

But the feelings grew stronger.

And before I knew it,
they were overflowing.

I definitely like pizza buns more.

I don't like the mushrooms
in the meat ones.

I don't like the mushrooms either,
but they're too tiny to tell.

No, I can still taste them.

Trying so hard to hide,
but they're right there.

Mushrooms taste too strong to hide.

Yamato, which bun do you prefer?

Curry.

Curry!

I forgot about those.

Curry, huh.

I wonder how everyone else
expresses their feelings.

These feelings I can't say...

Will they one day fade and go away?

Let's get curry buns later.

Okay.

Yay.

Here. One half each.

Thank you.

-Let's eat.
-Let's eat.

This tastes awesome!

Hey, can I come over again?

I want to continue
the game from last time.

Even though you'll lose?

Hey!

I just haven't gotten the hold of it yet.

I won't give up until I win.

Then we can play forever.

Oh. You're right.

Wait, how's that fine?

Want to come tomorrow?

Um...

I can't tomorrow.

-How's it going with Akane?
-We chat every now and then.

Why not?

I have to shop with my mom,
and look after Riku.

1000 yen for the day.

That's cheap.

Right?

It's so not worth it.

How many curry buns can you get for that?

Right, how many?

You're buying more stuff?

You're tired already?

I told you I'd go all out
for the sales today.

I'm paying you 1000 yen, you know!

-I told you it's not enough.
-I want to look at toy cars.

-Sure, go with Kakeru.
-What?

-Let's take a break.
-No, cars, now!

Aw, come on.

Kakeru?

Oh, Akane.

Are you shopping?

Yeah, my mom dragged me along.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Sorry.

I surprised you, didn't I?

Oh.

Both of you have messy hair.

Huh?

No, seriously?

-I'll go look at the cars with Riku.
-Huh?

What happened to the sales?

Don't worry.

-Have fun!
-Bye-bye!

Your mom's energetic.

Yeah.

Thank you for waiting.

This is your
strawberry snow cream pancake.

If you're happy, show it honestly.

I'm always honest.

It's so good.

Do you want a bite?

One bite?

Just one bite.

I'm fine.

Go ahead and eat.

You're always like this.

Like what?

You're...

in love with Kakeru, aren't you?

It keeps looking at me.

-It's cute.
-It's so cute, isn't it?

So tiny!

Oh!

Oh, look!

They're like the ones from the other day.

S-Sorry I couldn't get you one then.

It's fine. Kaho got me one in the end.

Woah!

Here you go.

-Thank you.
-You can catch them?

-I caught one.
-That's amazing.

-Cool, right?
-First try?

Yeah, I told you I was good.

That day was so much fun, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Here.

Thanks.

Yamato!

Stay my best friend forever.

I wonder why I did that.

Best friend...

I wonder what Yamato is doing right now.

YAMATO

Argh, no.

Why am I like this?

Yamato and I are best friends.

I'm acting as if I...

-Lo...
-Kakeru?

Sorry. I spaced out.

-Let's go to that store.
-Okay.

You thought I hadn't noticed?

How long have I been your sister?

Kakeru is just my childhood friend.

Is that what you tell yourself?

No.

So what about when Kakeru gets a
girlfriend, and gets married.

Can you be truly happy for him?

I can.

Are you sure?

If you can't,
it's better to quit that love.

It'll make no one happy.

I know that.

You always
put everyone else before yourself.

But...

Do you never want to
let your emotions carry you away?

Are you saying

I should force my feelings onto them?

Force?

How do you think they'll feel?

If I did that...

it'd just be to make myself feel better.

It's better to not say it.

You're always so rational.

Is it too grown up?

Not at all.
It matches your outfit from the other day.

You think so?

Yeah.

I'll go buy this then.

-I'll wait outside.
-Okay.

Akane is cute.

Being with her is fun.

I'm sure that before
I would've fallen in love with her.

But...

Yamato.

Wait, Yamato.

Yamato!

Yamato, I said wait!

What's going on all of a sudden?

What are you doing here?

And you?

Why are you with that girl?

Huh?

You said you were going shopping
with your mom and Riku.

Ah, that's...

You said it wasn't like that with her.

Yamato?

In the end it's always like this.

Yamato? What's wrong?

I don't have the courage
to tell him how I feel.

Nor the guts to ask him how he feels.

And yet

I can't share him either.

Sorry. It's a phone call.

AKANE

It hurts.

Maybe he's in the bathroom.

Oh, it's Kakeru's girlfriend.

Where's Kakeru?

We got separated.

What? You mean he got lost?

He's so uncool.

Yamato.

Y-Yamato...

Someone might see us.

Yamato...

Kakeru.

I...

I really...

Oh! I found him!

Ah, wait...

What's up, Riku?

Oh, Yamato is here too?

We just ran into each other.

There's a lot of running into today.

Huh?

We ran into Akane earlier.

Oh right, Akane!

She left as she had to go to cram school.

You should get yourself together.

Sorry for misunderstanding.

Huh?

Excuse me.

Yamato. Wait!

You haven't earned your 1000 yen yet.

-Not right now!
-Here, take this.

Yamato!

Kakeru.

I...

You're not going home?

Oh. I am.

I hear you went on
a date with Akane yesterday?

It wasn't a date.

We just happened to meet.

My girlfriend said Akane was happy.

Ashiya.

How many points did you
get on today's test?

38...

Handout!

The handout devil is back.

A handsome devil's handout.

Ugh, cringe.

Hand it in later.

I'm going. My girlfriend's waiting.

Sorry.

I have plans.

Sorry, I'm off.

Ohara.

Let's go together.

Don't just ignore a delicious treat.

You're gloomy today.

Guess you always are.

Could it be love troubles?

None of your business.

Bull's eye. You suck at lying.

Ohara.

You like Ashiya, don't you?

It's pretty easy to tell.

Just like mushrooms in meat buns.

Even so, though.

You're usually always so composed.

It's not going well with Ashiya?

Even though all the girls want you!

Shut up.

Whoops.

Go home by yourself.

Hmm.

You should just tell him already.

I'm sure he's confused about it.

It's obvious.

How you feel.

Obvious...

Yeah.

I mean, I noticed, right?

All this does right now is hurt you.

It's fine if I guessed wrong.

But I can't just stand around
and watch Ashiya being toyed with.

I'm not...

Kakeru and I are best friends.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Falling in love is messy, huh?

How jealous you can get,
and how selfish you can be.

You see unknown parts of yourself.

Sorry. I have plans.

Though maybe those pathetic sides
should be one's own problem

and not the other person's?

Not that I know
what I'm talking about, but still.

See ya.

Sorry about earlier.

I want to talk about yesterday.

SORRY ABOUT EARLIER.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY.

I don't feel like doing this.

I still don't have the courage

to tell him.

I'm such

an idiot.

I'm letting Kakeru get
caught up in my feelings.

And hurting him...

AKANE

SORRY FOR LEAVING FIRST YESTERDAY.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN!

SORRY FOR LEAVING FIRST YESTERDAY.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN!

But...

I can't help it.

I am...

in love with Kakeru.

They are what makes a school trip!

How does he stay so
composed after that hug?

As long as Kakeru is smiling,
that's all I need.

I'm too aware of his presence.

Kakeru... Can't I be the one?
