01x03 - Unawareness

[bunniefuu]

Then, would you like to try going out?

Yeah, right. I'm sure

No, my bad. Just kidding.

is probably what he's

going to say to brush me off.

For real?

Huh? That's sort of not

the reaction I was expecting.

I mean, how far do

you want to take this?

How far?

Well, y'know like holding hands,

hugging, having sex

Se—?!

Se— Sexual activities are

out of the question!

She rephrased it

Then how far? Kissing? Holding hands?

W-Well that's

'Cause if we don't do anything,

the "experiment" doesn't mean much, right?

Y-You have a point.

Huh? Does that mean I

suggested something

I'm not ready for?

Hold on! Please let me

think about it for a bit!

Who gets that red from

the word "sex" these days?

Wh-What should I do?!

Wha?!

Just how in the world could

something like that happen?!

Please don't say it!

I'm well aware that I'm the

one who's acting strange.

I just I really thought

he was just kidding, so

I'm sure I was just feeling frustrated.

It always seems like I end up playing

into his hands before I realize it

So I wanted to see how he'd react.

Even if just for a moment,

to see him flustered for once

Why did I agree to it

before thinking it through?!

I never imagined

that I'd actually end up dating him.

Oh?

Oh?

Yoi-chan, you seemed

kinda girly just now.

I am a girl!

Now, now. What's wrong with

just casually dating him?

Yep, yep. It must have been meant to be.

There's so much talk about

"meant to be" and "fate" lately, but

No way, seriously?

Why?!

What's going on?

I'm getting a bad feeling.

Oh?

Hey, Yoi Takiguichi-san!

I knew it!

And now there's more of them!

What, Takiguichi-san again?

Do you think something's up?

Enough!

I wonder what they're gonna talk about!

Right? I'm so curious.

I've had quite enough!

Could you please stop

coming to my classroom?

The other girls are staring at me.

And it seems there's more of you now.

'Sup, I'm Sentaro Akane.

I'm Shun Kuwabatake.

And

Nobara and Kotobuki,

why are you guys here?

Huh?! Well, it seemed like you

guys were having fun, so…

Just getting the tea.

Are you Yoi-chan's friends?

I-I'm Kotobuki Hibiya.

I'm Nobara Tone.

Wh-Wh-What?

Okay!

I got you guys memorized now.

Fubuki-chan and Sumire-chan, right?

Not even close!

So, what happened to you thinking

things over about us dating?

What? What's this about, for real?!

Yes, thank you for that one!

Makes my heart flutter when he's direct!

You guys are gonna go out?!

Could you all please keep it down?

Regarding that matter, I gave it

some thought overnight.

Huh? Is the Prince always like this?

such as accidentally

touching someone's hand.

Yeah, pretty much.

Furthermore, if either KI or Y

develops romantic feelings

for a separate third party,

either may immediately

terminate this contract.

That is all.

Oh, is that it?

You said you were gonna think it over,

so I'd figured you would just call it off.

Honestly, I considered that, too.

But I hate to give up on something

without seeing it through.

Okay!

After all that,

I'm allowed to date a prince.

Starting out normal would be no fun.

I shall do my best not to get

cut off during the cooling-off period.

The same. I look forward to it as well.

What, is a battle about to start?

Oh, that's the bell.

Yoi-chan, let's go.

Oh, right.

I have something I need to

discuss with Yoi-chan, so

Huh?

Oh, I see.

Then let us leave the young ones to it.

H-Hey, wai—

What do you want to talk about?

Nah, I got nothing.

What?! Then why did you keep me behind?

Because I wanted some alone time with you.

Listen here!

But you're mine now, right?

I can keep you all to myself, can't I?

N-No, this is precisely what I mentioned

in the contract a second ago

Huh?

Isn't this platonic contact?

I have to say, you seem

incredibly possessive, Senpai.

It's a bit far from your image,

don't you think?

Possessive?

That's a first.

Oh

Actually, this might be the first time

I've ever really wanted something.

Huh? What do you mean by that?

I actually forgot what I said.

Oh, this guy

Just in case, could you please

give me your contact information?

Yeah, okay.

Are you a suspect?

The setup is a pain, don't ya think?

Huh?! Th-The bell!

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Oh, hey.

How about today?

Wanna walk home together?

N-No It'd be bad if word got out.

Oh, all right.

Okay, if anything comes up let me know.

Wanna walk home together?

Wow. Words like that just

roll off his tongue, huh?

While I'm flustered just

at the thought of dating a man

I mean he'd be my very first

boyfriend, right?

Technically

Yoi-chan! Yoi-chan! Yoi-chan!

Am I okay? Did I really make

the right choice choosing him?

Am I gradually becoming

numb to all this?!

Actually, this might be the first time

I've ever really wanted something.

Gyoza for two coming right up!

Yay! Want some?

Nah

What's up?

Is it your mom again?

Aw, gross!

What? What's going on?

My bad. Just got taken by surprise.

I-I sent it.

Good evening.

This is my first time messaging.

It's Takiguichi.

After thinking a little on what we

spoke about today, I would like to

propose the following:

How about a date next Saturday

or Sunday?

Things like "meant to be"

or "fate" or "Prince"

You have to determine

those things for yourself.

Is she for real?

What? Look at that!

Handsome, right?

Man, what a hottie!

That guy's hot, huh?

But they're wearing a skirt,

so they might be a girl!

Maybe arriving thirty minutes

early was a bit much

Wow! She's really hot, then!

I mean, it was okay to ask him out, right?

Was I too eager?

But this is really the only

way to see if we're compatible

The one thing that bothers me is that

Got it.

His reply was unexpectedly dismissive.

I thought he'd be more forward.

Yoi-chan.

Yo.

H-Hello.

I'm just starting to

get super nervous now.

Seriously though, you're here

way ahead of schedule.

I had a feeling you might be,

so I'm glad I got here early.

He read my mind.

Also, why are you in your uniform?

I-I had something to do at

school before coming here

Uh-huh.

Or not

I can't admit that I was

agonizing over what to wear

before finally defaulting to

my school uniform.

You have some place you wanna hit today?

Huh? No, I just figured we'd be

going to the movies or something.

How about you, Senpai?

Me? I've got no plans.

Then, why don't we go look at clothes?

What? No, I'm not really into

Honestly, I really want to

see you in all kinds of clothes.

To the movies, then.

Grab

H-Hey, um, the movies

Don't worry, don't worry!

Y-You look wonderful!

Thank you very much.

This wasn't the kind of store I expected.

Wow! That looks great on you!

Huh? Yoi-chan?!

Seriously?! It looks real good on you!

Thanks.

Hey, face this way a little.

It's so weird Why can't

I look Senpai in the face?

And anyway, why are you

getting dressed, too?!

Hmm? Oh, you mean this?

I was thinking I'd match your style.

I don't get it.

I mean, see?

Don't we look good together like this?

Oh The shoulder, sorry about that.

What was that?

Normally, girls try on cuter clothes,

and if you're going to match,

it'd be matching couple clothes.

But right now, my clothes don't look

like what you'd wear on a date.

Darn it I don't know why, but the

shoulder he touched feels so tense.

And you're just gonna go back

to what you were wearing, huh?

The sticker shock was too much for me.

Are you sure you're okay not buying it?

Yes! I don't need it!

Spoiled rich kids are just so

Brown Sugar

Warabi Mochi

Brown Sugar

Warabi Mochi

What? A Japanese confectionery?

Yoi-chan, you like sweet things?

No, not particularly.

Well, why not? I was starting

to get a bit hungry anyway.

Apricot

Jam

Bean Daifuku

Lemon Daifuku

Moon Viewing

Rabbit Manju

I want the mitarashi dango.

How about you, Yoi-chan?

Hmm What should I choose

Well, shall we eat?

Sounds good.

Man, that's good.

I know, right?

The red bean paste in the

daifuku is the smooth kind!

So good!

Huh? Is there really a difference

between the clumpy and smooth?

There sure is! They're totally different!

The clumpy kind isn't bad, but

when you eat mochi and such,

don't you feel a bit let down

when it's not the smooth kind?!

No, it's never crossed my mind.

Oh, it's completely out of the question!

The texture and mouthfeel

are completely different.

Man, you really like

sweet things, don't you?

N-No more than most people.

Then what's your favorite snack?

Choco anpan, oreos, and

Alfort chocolate cookies.

What do you put on your toast?

Butter and condensed milk.

You've got a serious sweet tooth!

Do Do I?

Not even aware of it, are ya?

Whoa

The corners of his mouth

lift up so beautifully.

When he smiles, he looks so kind.

Like a completely different person.

I feel like I really learned something

about Senpai for the first time.

We can probably do one more place.

Hmm Yeah, you're right.

Flower Garden

An amusement park?

But it's almost closing time, you know.

Yeah. We won't stay long.

Wasn't expecting that.

Okay then, off you go!

Y'know,

I really like amusement parks at

night just before they close.

It's beautiful, but vaguely melancholic.

I like fireworks in the winter, too.

Oh, I know that feeling.

Ice cream tastes better

in the winter, too.

See? I knew you liked sweet stuff.

Well, that's not

We often know ourselves the least.

Today, he's less "Senpai" and more

"Kohaku Ichimura"

Do you always

go on dates like these?

Oh. No, this is a first.

I usually just go wherever

the other person wants to go

and go along with their vibe.

I don't have any desire

to any particular thing with anyone.

Even the clothing store was a first for me.

What, really?

I assumed you knew about

that sort of stuff.

Not at all.

I'm always just wearing whatever

an acquaintance gives me.

What kind of acquaintance is that?

But

Today was super fun.

Thank you.

Senpai's profile, illuminated

from the lights, was so beautiful

I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

From the way you messaged me,

I thought I was bothering you.

What? I sent you a reply, didn't I?

It felt incredibly dismissive.

I usually leave messages

like that on read, but

I wanted to reply to yours immediately

even if it wasn't much.

Got it.

O-Oh, I see.

Yeah.

Welcome back!

All right, I'll open the door now.

Well then Let's head home.

Okay.

Are we really going home already?

I wanted to reply to yours immediately

Going home right now

seems like a waste

Hey.

Wanna grab something to eat?

Huh, oh, yes!

Okay, what're ya feeling?

Uh, I can't think of anything

when you ask me like that

I'm serious, it's right there!

There's a super delicious gyoza place!

Since the gyoza king has spoken,

I guess we'll give it a try.

Gyoza sounds good.

Let's follow them.

Yeah.

Seriously, it's pretty badass,

ending a first date with gyoza.

Oh, just a moment.

Um, I'm sorry.

They're short-staffed at work,

and asked me to come in.

Oh, yeah?

I'm sorry!

It's fine, it's fine. No prob.

Then let's call it a night.

I really wanted to eat gyoza.

Nasu Oyaji Curry

Thank you so much for

going out of your way.

Nah, thank you.

You're the one who invited me.

Later.

Um!

If you'd like

you can eat at our place?

Ah!

Yoi, you're finally here!

Ugh! Dad!

Huh? Aren't you the one

from the other day?

Oh, hello.

Huh? What's this?

Are you two actually going out?!

D-Dad!

Oh, yeah, we actually are.

What, no way!

Then he's your first boyfriend?!

Congratulations, Yoi!

Forget it!

Hey, hey, hey! What about

Yoi made you like her?!

Come on! Hurry up and get back to work!

Um, well

Come on, your dad wants to know!

In all honesty, her looks?

Y'know, if I go out with her,

I can look at her all day.

So I guess I wanted the right to do that.

Well, that just about covers it.

What a unique kid.

Let's go, Dad.

Huh? But I still haven't

introduced myself

You don't need to do that!

Oh, is that so

Well, goodbye.

You're laughing too much.

Sorry, sorry!

C'mon, the right to look at her all day!

The Prince is such a stalker.

No, it's just downright scary!

Green

I was having so much fun,

and it was ruined in an instant!

What?!

Wh-What?

Yoi just said she had

"fun" with the Prince!

Yep, yep.

Well, no, this is just

It's really not like that, it's just

But it really was fun.

Oh my, oh my!

Just make it official already!

N-No, I mean Yes, it was fun,

but we still don't know if

that's love or not, right?

Well, that just about covers it.

That's right

Before considering what's

"fate" and "meant to be,"

I don't know if this is even "love."

Hang in there.

You're always making the Prince

angry, aren't you, Ichi?

Ugh, I hate chemistry.

Today might be a rough one.

Right?

You know, chemistry is human wisdom.

Where did that come from?

Yo.

Y-You scared me! What?

Why don't you just approach

me the normal way?!

You're the one who said not to come

to your classroom anymore.

Also, why are you ignoring me?

Did I upset you again somehow?

B-Because You told my dad

all about us dating, and

What? We weren't at school, so it

doesn't have to be a secret, does it?

B-But

there's a chance that we

might not be dating, don't you think?

Wha There is? Why?

Wh-What do you mean, why?

When it comes to love,

you can't get into a relationship

unless at least one

person likes the other.

But all you say is,

"I want to watch you forever"

or, "Show me what kind of face

you'll make next" and

Is that actually "love?"
