01x04 - A Hero, but Not the Main Character

[bunniefuu]

Sachi, you scored Grade B?

You're amazing.

He seems like he's putting

in a lot of effort.

Have you done everything

a couple should do?

Don't be silly.

We are dating someone already.

We are over it now.

We'll exchange partners

after we score Grade A.

No way.

I can never do this.

If Ryo is in this school,

I'll be so gloomy.

Ryo will score Grade A,

then live with all kinds of girls,

I can't stand it.

Here she is. Gloomy Natsumi.

You're too in love with Ryo.

It's not that easy to score Grade A.

It's hard enough to live with a stranger,

not to mention pretending as a couple.

It's because

Ryo is so handsome.

The three of you

are making a lot of noise!

Concentrate on the game!

-Okay.

-Okay.

Are you looking at Sakurazaka again,

Jiro?

Annoying.

Hot guy.

He is so different from us biologically.

By the way, did you know about

Sakurazaka's rumor?

Rumor?

What's the rumor about Minami?

This is the latest news.

I heard that Tenjin

will not be exchanging partners.

I've heard the same.

You'd think everyone

will exchange partners

after they score Grade A.

Because you can get the marks

obtained by your previous partners.

But this course

is like a prep for your future.

I think the school management will want

the students

to partner up with more people.

But

isn't this annoying?

It's like we are constantly

changing our spouses.

Akari, this is not

the time to say such things.

If this continues,

things might really work out.

Both of them!

It's okay.

It's only the first month.

Akari, marry me!

So cunning! I want to join too.

Come on! Give me a break!

You are the one

who should give me a break!

Let me join too.

Jiro, don't be so depressed.

Partnering up with a hot guy

like Tenjin rather than you

is a good thing for Sakurazaka.

Whose side are you on?

Seriously?

Sided with Sakurazaka. Nope.

I sided with the girls.

So hot!

Mr. Warrior…

This isn't fair.

Jiro, look.

What do you think? Is this nice?

I heard that your marks

will go up if you say this.

Really?

Jiro.

-Shiori.

-It's so hot today.

Indeed.

Jiro,

you look tired.

Is it because of the practical course?

You fought with Watanabe again, right?

No, I didn't.

I see. That's great.

Watanabe is a great person.

Don't be too harsh on her.

If I…

tell Shiori now

that I'm troubled because of her,

how would she react?

Thanks.

Minami requested this.

Jiro.

Shiro, I have a question.

Will you stay with Tenjin

forever like this?

Come on. This is ridiculous.

Why am I the only one being punished?

Everyone else is talking too.

There's a lot of dust here.

Watanabe.

Minami…

Why…

That's dangerous.

Sorry, I shouldn't have

called you all of a sudden.

Thanks for saving me.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Minami, why are you here?

The teacher asked me

to keep the basketball.

I see.

What should I do? My heartbeat is so loud.

He's going to hear that.

I'm really sorry.

You're not hurt, are you?

Great.

I'm still attracted to Minami.

Great…

What do I mean?

Hurry up and clean up.

If this continues,

things might really work out.

Both of them!

Minami.

I have a question.

Will you stay with Sakurazaka

forever like this?

Maybe.

If it's fine for her,

I guess I will.

Plus, we are getting along too.

What?

After all… I do still like him.

Watanabe?

I'm sorry. There's a lot of dust here.

The dust must've gotten into my eyes.

Mi…

Minami…

Watanabe.

Look at my eyes.

Jiro.

Jeez.

He said he would come

to close the window for me.

Jiro…

Jiro…

I don't know.

Exchanging partners is not something

that I can decide on alone.

I see. You are right.

I'm sorry for asking

such a strange question.

Tenjin is amazing.

But…

But if Jiro scores Grade A,

I…

Just joking.

We need to hurry up and get changed.

The next class is about to start.

Shiori!

I'll make it to Grade A.

And then…

If you are in Grade A too…

Then…

Shiori, you and I--

Jiro!

It's the worst…

It's as bad as getting all the SE cards

when you bulk buy the game card pack.

Listen!

Please. Get back in right now.

Or I might send you to the grave.

Human sacrifice!

Jiro.

Kamo…

Sorry.

There's nothing actually.

Really?

Are you guys

in the middle of something too?

Yes!

By the way, what do you mean by "too"?

Nothing because I saw Tenjin and Akari…

What happened to us?

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Why?

What's with this atmosphere?

What's this complicated relationship?

I'm forced into a desperate situation,

I can only summon

a monster!

INSTANT LAUGHTER

I choose you!

The strongest instant laughter!

But there are girls here.

If I fail, then my high school life

is ruined too.

Next episode, "The Death of My Heart."

Sadaharu Kamo, standby!

By the way, did anyone call my name

in this anime?

Kamo, I'm looking for you.

Sorry. Aren't you Kamo?

Your name.

Yes, I am.

I'm Sadaharu Kamo.

This is the key to the garage.

The teacher asked me to pass it on to you.

You are the PE officer, right?

Yes, I am.

Thanks.

Kamo.

Attracted.

Shiori.

Have you handed in the updated file

for the Couple Practical course?

Not yet.

I forgot about it too.

Let's go together during the break.

The deadline is today, right?

I guess so. Where's the venue?

Jiro.

We'll get going.

Okay.

I'm working today.

So you are not getting dinner?

Can I ask for a favor?

I'll return the key.

What's with that face?

Anyway,

good luck, my friend.

Hey, Watanabe.

Hurry up and go back.

Otherwise, you'll be late for class.

Okay.

That's weird. Where is Akari?

She left early.

She asked us to tell the teacher

that she had a cold.

What? That's ridiculous.

She went back.

RANCHIA:

YOU LIKE KURORIS, RIGHT? THEN GO!

LEAVE RANCHIA AND MEET KUKORIS

NO, NOT LEAVING RANCHIA ALONE

Walking around…

Walking around…

Walking around…

LEAVE RANCHIA AND MEET KUKORIS

Come on, what do you want?

Nothing.

-I'm just thinking, Tenjin is still here.

-Cheer up, guys.

You've been mentioning Tenjin.

What do you want? Tell me.

Nothing.

But can I say this?

Not only Tenjin remembers my name

but he smells so good too.

I remember your name too.

Kamo…

The best white meat fish

to be made into tempura is…

What?

Kiss.

What? Did you kiss?

Even a cat wants to bite me,

do you think I can kiss someone?

I…

I'm sorry.

It's Akari and Tenjin.

I bumped into them accidentally.

I don't know the process

or their relationship,

but Akari is shy.

So I'm sure.

It must be…

So?

So what?

Aren't you…

Right.

Even if that's the case,

it has nothing to do with you.

With Tenjin.

Isn't that great?

Congratulations, Watanabe.

RANCHIA: …

Obviously, I'm not Ranchia g*ng.

I'm home.

I heard that you caught a cold.

Do you have a fever?

Sorry that I'm not Tenjin.

What?

Why do you mention Minami out of a sudden?

Hey.

-No, it's because…

-What is it?

Nothing.

Say it.

You seem to have gotten closer

to Tenjin during PE class.

I've heard about it.

I think that's great.

"That's great"?

Now that it happened,

I'm glad that you are willing to tell me.

Will you kiss someone when you are happy?

What? I don't know

what you are talking about.

There's nothing to hide.

Hugging in the garage. Amazing.

Tenjin and you are becoming a couple.

Although I wanted

to cheer and congratulate you…

That--

No…

I should be congratulating you.

This is so funny!

What?

He was checking

if there was dust in my eyes.

Why would you misunderstand it?

This is like a comic book.

-I'm sending that guy to the grave!

-Furthermore,

who would do that for no good?

The fact that he's not

exchanging partners is devastating to me.

Why would you believe that?

You are so lame.

It's because I know you are working hard.

That's why.

I work hard because he never

turns around and looks at me.

You are not wrong

but you've worked so hard,

you should at least

get something in return.

What an idiot.

That's…

so funny.

Watanabe.

Wait. What are you looking at?

Let go of me…

Idiot.

You're annoying.

Look somewhere else.

I looked somewhere else.

I can't see anything now.

I panicked and did something stupid.

I don't know the right answer.

I don't often see girls crying.

Last time I escaped

because Watanabe fell asleep.

There's no way I can escape now.

It must be annoying

to be hugged by a boy that you don't like.

Jiro, you can use the bathroom.

My clothes aren't dry yet,

so I borrowed this.

Borrow?

Your T-shirt.

Seriously? She's using

the boyfriend's T-shirt trick!

She's so close to me.

Why did she do this?

Doesn't she usually keep a distance?

This would remind me

of what just happened.

Hey, even if you have an interest in me,

at least take care of your image.

I don't know where I should look.

Is Mr. Nerd attracted?

I'm not. I'm used to it already.

You always do this.

Liar.

Here, it's beating fast.

Jiro?

ELIMINATE WORRIES

TROPHY OBTAINED

I feel like I would lose

before the 180th knock.

You're weird.

Stop teasing me.

All you need to do is dress up

like this in front of Tenjin.

Are you jealous?

You're adorable, Jiro.

Hey.

You'll catch a cold

if you dress like this.

Jiro, didn't you believe

that I kissed someone before?

I'm not that kind of flirty girl.

I've said it's my fault.

You think I kissed a lot of people.

I didn't--

Chop.

I've only kissed you.

That's my first kiss.

I only know how it feels to kiss you.

You are such an idiot.

You kissed me on the lips right away.

You're like a virgin!

Not only do you go all out,

but you're a bad kisser too.

And that was my first kiss.

That was unbelievable.

And, what do you mean?

That was my first kiss! I mean it!

Are you listening?

Are you alive?

RANCHIA: WHY DID YOU COME BACK? IDIOT.

-Hey, Jiro.

-Don't misunderstand, I…

-Jiro, are you listening?

-Just because I'm her partner.

-And it was the first time for Watanabe.

-Jiro, I'm calling you.

-In a different situation…

-Come on.

-…she might kiss others too.

-Jiro…

I'm the only one who knows…

I've said it, no misunderstanding!

This is just a practical course.

That's it.

Damn it, I'm over the moon.

Do you think this is the end?

It's too bad.

My fighting scene is not over yet.

It's my turn.

Launch! Arbitration.

Guys, don't fight over me.

Luckily I didn't do this.
