01x12 - Hekireki

[bunniefuu]

GRADE 2 CLASS 2

[Koyuki] Wow. Wow.

What a turn of events!

IN SUSPENSE
BA-BUMP BA-BUMP

How in the world did they adapt
this plot twist for the screen?

Another movie based on their books
will be streaming this week.

[Koyuki] I saw that film
back when I was in junior high.

With Igarashi.

I really enjoyed it.

Didn't get it. They completely
lost me halfway through.

[grunts]

Wait… I thought
that movie was really entertaining, but…

maybe I'm the only one?

What should I do?

I want Amamiya to read the original work.

Full of oneself.

POKE OUT

Hey, Amamiya.

You scared me. What's going on?

Um…

The film we were
talking about this morning…

I have the book that it was based on, so…

-If you want, you're free to borrow it.
-[gasps]

MUTTER MUTTER
MUMBLE MUMBLE

Well, um, I figured reading the book
might give the movie more context.

It's pretty thick,
so I won't force you to read it, but--

I'll read it. I'd love to.

Hmm?

[Minato] Wow…

That'd make me super happy.

Huh?

Oh, thank goodness!

RELIEVED
GLAD HE'S INTERESTED IN THE BOOK

FLUFFY
GLAD SHE REMEMBERED THEIR CONVERSATION

[Minato] Thank you.

[chuckles]

At first, I didn't peg him
as the kind of guy that…

How should I put it?

TEEHEE

He's adorable.

What's up?

[gentle music playing]

STRETCH - SWISH

I got carried away and recommended it to
him. But I hope he didn't feel pressured.

I'll read it. I'd love to.

Wow… That'd make me super happy.

[chuckles]

[footsteps running]

Good morning.

[sighs] Morning.

[Koyuki] You're heading out already?

[parent] Yeah.
I have to prepare for a meeting today.

Oh, okay.

[parent] I left money.
It's right next to the whiteboard.

Oh, thanks.

Lock the door, okay?

Well, I'm off.

Have a good day.

[melancholy music plays]

Mom always leaves for work early.

MONEY FOR FOOD

And since the divorce,
she started coming home later and later.

[toaster dings]

And when I'm at home,
I'm almost always alone.

Sometimes I wonder

if I even exist to them.

[Koyuki] No, no.

It's different for our household though.

I guess.

For me anyway, it's business as usual.

[theme music playing]

EPISODE 12
THUNDER

What? Really? No way!

Okay, tell me. How did you find
your part-time job?

There weren't any good ones
in free newspaper when I looked.

[stammers] Um…

-I even signed up on an app.
-[Koyuki] She's super friendly.

But why? Why all of a sudden?
[exclaims]

SQUEEZE SQUEEZE

No, no, no. There I go again
assuming the worst in people.

STARE

[Momoka] Hmm.

SMILE

[groans]

Her beauty is blinding me.

[Miki] Weird. Koyun's suddenly being
really friendly with a first-year.

What's happening?

Yeah. What's going on?

So weird.

Not to mention, she's so pretty!

What's she up to?

[Akine] Didn't see that coming.

[cheerleader] Okay! Break's over.

First-years, come circle up!

[first-years] Okay.

Oh, sounds like the upperclassmen
are calling me.

Okay.

WAVE WAVE

[sighs]

[intriguing music plays]

TAP TAP TAP
THUMP THUMP - WHACK

[Minato] Okay…

[gasps, groans]

Geez! Stop, Hayat--

[chuckles]

[exclaims]

CLENCH

Sorry. Did I surprise you?

THIS IS PAYBACK FOR THE OTHER DAY
SUPER SURPRISED

Uh, mm-hmm.

[Koyuki] I can't see
Miki and Tsukiko anywhere.

[Minato] Oh, so she's just gonna sit here.

-Minato.
-[exclaims]

[laughs] What was that?

Anyway, about the tournament,

we're short on controllers,
so could you bring yours from home Sunday?

-[Minato] Uh, sure.
-[Koyuki] Video games, huh?

-[Minato] How many people are coming?
-[Daichi] Just us three.

[Hayato] Oh, man! You know what I wish
we had? A racing wheel. That'd be sick.

[Daichi] Just buy one, Hayato.

[Hayato] Wait, why do I have to buy it?

FWUMP

DEJA VU

But I've got to be in the way right now,
aren't I?

[Minato] Uh, no. Sorry.

I could care less
whether you're in the way or not.

I just want you to be here.

[gasps]

[gentle music plays]

That's… That's all it is.

For me.

[Koyuki] Hmm.

Uh…

Uh…

Well… [stammers]

SWOOSH

That blond guy is Daichi Midorikawa.

And the other guy is just a guy
from some another class.

Introduce me right!

HAHAHA

Haya-to Aka-hoshi!

Yeah, yeah, I know.

It's "Aka" as in "Akahoshi." "Hoshi" as
in "Akahoshi." Together it's "Akahoshi"!

[Minato] Tone it down there, bro.
[chuckles]

201 - HIKAWA


MIKI'S HOUSE

Koyun, are you really not coming along
for the bike ride with us?

[sighs] I can't. I work tomorrow.

Aw, man.

[Koyuki] I would just be in the way
if I were to come with them.

[Miki squeals] It'll just be so cute!
I'm dying to see it!

TCH…

[sighs]

Yota is pretty cute, huh?

[thunder rumbles]

[Miki] What'd she say?

And so dependable and put together.

IT'S THAT WAY

[Miki] You sure about that?

THUNK

I hope that one day I could be
as warm and wonderful as Yota.

Or even half as great.

[Miki exclaims] Huh?
Wait, so what she's saying is, uh…

Do you think Yota and Minato
are that different?

[grunts] Huh? What? Different how?

[Koyuki] Why'd she suddenly
bring up Amamiya?

Well, I mean, obviously
they're different people, so, of course…

But that's not what you were asking.

[Miki] Why is she getting
so flustered all of a sudden?

[dramatic orchestral music plays]

Around Amamiya though,
I still get a little nervous.

Sometimes, even now.

[Miki] Which means
she doesn't get nervous around Yota?

MUTTER MUTTER

I mean, to be honest, I don't know Amamiya
as well as I know Yota yet,

so I just… I just feel like I wanna
get to know him better from now on.

[Miki] Wait! She said she prides herself
on knowing Yota well!

[squeals]

[bird squawks]

[lively music playing]

[giggles] Dam!

-Whoa. It's so cool!
-[Yota laughs]

It is cool, huh?

[Miki] Yeah, super cool.
It makes me all tingly with excitement!

[chuckles]

[Miki] Okay, Yota. Get in the picture.

Hmm?

Oh, no. What do I do?

I can't fit the scenery in.

CAN'T THINK OF THE WORD "ARM"

Yota, you take the picture. You know,
with those long things you've got.

You mean my arms?

Hmm, here?

Yeah, that's perfect! Yay!

[shutter clicks]

[music continues]

HAHA

[music ends]

[Miki sighs] That was so much fun.

It really was.

-[Miki] Yota.
-Huh?

Where do you think we should go next?

[gentle music plays]

Oh, wait. You told me you wanted to go
to a valley, right?

Let's maybe go this summer.

[stammers]

Uh, and maybe an abandoned railroad
or something?

PLONK

[Miki] That'd be awesome!

-Home!
-[Yuki] You're back!

-So, how was your date?
-Date? Yeah, right.

AB ROLLER

Things aren't like that
between me and Yota.

Girls and guys can be friends, you know.

[groans] That was just the best day ever!

Must be nice.

Well, I do wanna have a romantic
relationship one day. Don't get me wrong.

But Yota is different.

It's really not like that.
I could never date him.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Besides that, friends are
so much more important than dating!

You're damn right.

[Miki] Right?

[both] ♪ Brother and sister
We're the same! ♪

♪ Putting dating over friends
Is super lame! ♪

[Miki] ♪ And that's my bro for ya ♪

-[Yuki] ♪ Ain't that right ♪
-♪ I know that's right ♪

-[Yuki] ♪ That's right! ♪
-♪ Is that right? ♪

-[Yuki] ♪ You know it's right ♪
-♪ That's right! ♪

[gentle music plays]

[sighs]

[friend] Oh, by the way,
did you get that freebie coupon

for the crepe shop near the station?

[Momoka] Huh?
I don't know what you're talking about.

[friend] Then I need to send you the URL.

You can only get, like, two per person,
so do it.

[Momoka] Okay. Thanks.

[phone chimes]

"Crepe URL."

MARU

What?
You're not gonna take a picture first?

Ah… [gasps]

Oh, right.
I guess it is pretty unique looking.

BETTER TAKE A PICTURE

[Momoka] Unique looking?

[Koyuki] For some strange reason…

[shutter clicks]

…I let Momoka somehow sway me
into taking a detour on the way home.

I'll text it to you,
so give me your info, pretty please.

'Kay.

Madam Koyun. I have freebie coupon
for crepes. You wanna come with?

Oh, uh, mm-hmm.

Why does she wanna go with me?

Hey, so tell me your secret.

What do I have to do to become
friends with guys like you have?

They seem to flock to you.

Huh?

She think's I'm some kind
of guy-whisperer?

Honestly, I think you're way better
with people than I am,

so I should be asking you.

Hmm, yeah, I guess. But you know.

[Koyuki] She doesn't deny it?

I could have the best people skills
in the world, and I swear,

I still couldn't get guys to treat me
as a real friend.

[amusing music plays]

[Koyuki] You do seem
like you would be popular with guys.

[Momoka] Oh, I am.

[music stops]

You're thinking,
"Wow, she's not denying it."

EEK

[laughs]

You're so cute, Madam Koyun.

[Koyuki] I imagine this isn't the type of
cute I should be excited to be called.

Oh, but sometimes you think
someone is just nice as a friend,

and then suddenly you're falling for them.

Has that ever happened to you?

Huh?

No, um, not really.

Hmm. So you can
completely separate the two?

[Koyuki] For some reason,
I couldn't think for a moment.

Hmm.

That might be impossible for me.

Because wouldn't you fall for him?
Amamiya, I mean.

If someone as handsome as him
were friends with me,

well, I'd so end up falling for them.

[Koyuki] Handsome?

[stammers] You think so?

Why do I not have any issue or hesitation
complimenting Yota…

but I struggle for words with Amamiya?

GRADE 2 CLASS 2

Thank you. The book was great.

What? You read it?

[Minato] Yeah.
I wanted to know what happened next.

And to be able to talk about it with you.

Wow. That's awesome.

[Minato chuckles]

[Shimojima] Oh, no, Amamiya.
It's overflowing. Tone it down.

You're making your feelings too obvious.

[Minato] When that twist happened in the
last chapter, I literally got chills.

Oh, I love that part too-- [gasps]

[gasps]

WHOA

If someone as handsome as him
were friends with me,

well, I'd so end up falling for them.

[Koyuki] No,
it's not about him being handsome.

It's the little things he says.

His actions and expressions.

They make me happy.

My chest gets all tight and I…

Wait. Huh?

[Minato] I don't know why, but…

she won't look me in the eye today.

[Shimojima] What's up with her?
She seems kind of out of it.

Is she okay?

Hey, what book are you reading?

BA-BUMP

Uh, I let Amamiya borrow it,
and he's just returned it.

Wanna read it too?

SHOCK

[Minato] Huh?

Oh, I read it in two days.

I'm not trying to compete with you.

[giggles]

[sighs]

[gasps]

Huh?

FIDGET FIDGET

[Shimojima] Could this be just a one-sided
unreciprocated thing from Amamiya?

"Is not" instead of "does not"
is used in a negative sentence

because the subject
is third-person singular…

[Koyuki] What the heck am I feeling?

Yeah, I am not so oblivious
to my own feelings

that I'd start saying
dumb things like that.

Huh? What now?

My feelings started changing
before I even realized it.

But…

Hey, Koyun! Good morning.

WHOOSH

[Koyuki] But that doesn't mean

that I'm not gonna do anything about it

or that anything has to change.

[gasps]

[exclaims]

I'm spending my days how I always do.

Uh, huh?

[Koyuki] That said, I have to admit
this giddy feeling

is pretty fun.

All right. See you tomorrow.

[Shimojima, Miki] Good practice today!

APPEARS

-Oh, you're not going to evening practice?
-Hmm?

[Shimojima] Oh, there it is.

Uh, yeah. I figured evening practice
it's mostly people talking,

so I thought it probably wouldn't be
a big deal if I wasn't there.

Oh, I see…

[Shimojima] Koyuki.
That's not a bad thing though.

CHEER COUPLES TEND TO EMERGE
AFTER THE SPORTS FESTIVAL

It's like built-in time to mingle
and get to know each other better.

Everyone knows that. That's why they come.

-Don't blow this opportunity.
-I'll be able to keep up.

See ya.

[Minato sighs]

[Shimojima] Keep your chin up, Amamiya.

EVENING PRACTICE

HERE FOR SOLO PRACTICE

HERE TO MINGLE

[Minato] Did I say something wrong again?

-[Momoka] Oh, hey, Amamiya!
-Hmm?

Oh, thank goodness. I'm so relieved.

[Minato] Relieved?

I was late, so I missed being able
to join up with the group.

Can you maybe sit with me a bit?

It seems like people are suddenly
getting closer with each other.

Oh, that's definitely true.

After the sports festival,

I won't have a chance
to talk to you upperclassmen anymore

which makes me sad.

-Hmm? You can keep talking to us after.
-What?

[breathes shakily]

Oh! I hung out with Madam Koyun
the other day. Just the two of us.

What?

Wait, when did they get all buddy-buddy?

SLIGHTLY BITTER

[Momoka] We ate crepes together.

I took quite a few of us.

HEH

[chuckling]

Koyun's face is so hilarious.

[Momoka] Hmm.

If she and I hung out again,

would you be cool with
me inviting you next time?

What? It'd be okay for me to join?

Of course!

Give me your info,
so I can message you next time.

Uh, sure.

[Momoka] You upperclassmen
seem like you're all really close.

Madam Koyun told me about you guys.

She told me about Miss Miki,
and about Mr. Yota too.

[Minato] Not me?

I want the kind of relationship
Madam Koyun and Yota have.

It seems very special.

[Minato] What kind of relationship?

I don't know about you,

but don't you think the two of them
should just date already?

DOOM

SEETHING

[Minato] Why would you say that?

[Momoka] Because!
Don't they look so cute together?

Well, we don't really know how
the two of them feel about each other.

I know Yota still has a thing for Miki.

I guess I don't know about Koyun though.

Oh, that's true.

-I'm sorry. That was insensitive of me.
-Oh. No.

WASN'T TRYING TO REPRIMAND

Admittedly,

I'd think that if you found out that
someone you thought of as just friend

actually liked you in a different way
than you did?

And once you realize
they look at you in that way…

it would feel a bit disgusting,
wouldn't it?

CRACK

Depending on the situation,
you might even feel frightened by it.

[grunts]

-And also…
-There's more?

Madam Koyun said
the people she considers friends

would never become
potential love interests.

[Minato] What?

[dramatic music plays]

It makes me sick.

[Minato] Did I come on too strong?

[theme music playing]

[Yuki exclaims, panting]

[Miki] Made it!

[all panting]

[Miki] Wait, this is so awkward.

I knew she was on our cheer squad,

but I gotta be honest,

it's super uncomfortable interacting
with the sister of someone

I had a full on fight with in the past.

-Atagawa. How's your sister doing?
-[both] Huh?

- What's going on with the face?
- [heart thumping]

You aren't curious
how your ex-classmate is?

[Miki] Well, I mean…

Do you really want to know?

EEK

[Yuki] So many people!

[groans]

I'm really sorry.

No. I-I'm sorry too.
For taking up this door space.

-[Akine] Koyuki.
-Hmm?

You're very close with Amamiya,
aren't you?

[Koyuki] Huh? What does she mean by that?

Yeah, I'd say we are, but then…

[Akine] In the soccer club,
it's against the rules

for members and managers
to get romantically involved.

[gulps]

Momoka…

You know how she's been hanging around you
a lot recently out of nowhere?

Before that, she used to come around me.

Do you realize what she wants?

Could you please maybe just cheer her on?
