00:00From today, we have Naoto Hayashi joining our class.
00:04Hi, nice to meet you.
00:06I'm Naoto Hayashi.
00:08I'm Naoto Hayashi.
00:10A wallflower high school student who transferred to this school due to my parents' job.
00:15I didn't have any friends in my previous school, but...
00:18Can I make it here?
00:20I hope I can.
00:22I mean, at least one.
00:24Hey, wanna be friends?
00:26Huh?
00:27Oh, um, you're...
00:30Nice to meet you. I'm Ran Tenshin.
00:33Just call me Ran. No need to be formal.
00:36Ran, nice to meet you.
00:38Wow, I made a friend right away.
00:41By the way, you're pretty lucky, you know?
00:44Lucky? Why?
00:46In this class, there's this super famous person, you know?
00:50Famous person?
00:52Right there. That girl.
00:55Oh, there's a huge crowd over there.
00:58That girl is Reina Yoshida.
01:00She's an ace athlete in the track and field club, and she's incredibly talented.
01:06On top of that, she's drafted, gorgeous, and super popular.
01:10Most guys are head over heels for her.
01:13Wow, impressive.
01:15She must be, like, the Madonna of this school or something.
01:19Oh, you're Naoto, the new student, right?
01:23Nice to meet you.
01:25Nice to meet you, too. I'm Reina. Let's get along.
01:29Yeah.
01:34Huh? Is that it?
01:37What do you mean?
01:39Dude, Reina talked to you.
01:41That's a huge honor, man. You should be stoked.
01:45Yeah, I'm really happy you talked to me. Thanks a lot.
01:50Is that it? Anything else?
01:52Anything else?
01:54Well, let's be friends from now on, alright?
01:58No, I mean, it should be more like...
02:01Huh? Sorry, did I do something wrong?
02:06Enough already.
02:14Ran, you're laughing too much.
02:17Cuz, he's not that hyped up.
02:20If you get approached by such a popular girl, wouldn't you be all excited and stuff?
02:25Uh, yeah, maybe.
02:27But you can't judge someone's personality just by their looks, you know?
02:32Sure, she's cute and beautiful, but I don't get all fluttery around people I don't really know.
02:37And besides, super popular people kinda scare me a bit.
02:42Scared? What do you mean?
02:45In my previous school, I was often teased by those extroverted popular types.
02:50So I guess I'm a bit wary of those popular guys.
02:54Or maybe it's just not my thing.
02:57I don't think they're bad people, but I tend to put my guard up around them, you know?
03:02I see. So you're okay with me?
03:05Yeah, you're cool.
03:07It feels like talking to a same-gender friend, easy going and all.
03:12You're such a rude dude, huh?
03:15Well, I don't really mind, no.
03:17Let's be buddies, yeah?
03:19Yeah, same here!
03:24It's been a while since I've come to this school, and I've realized something.
03:28It's about how popular Reina really is.
03:31Just her entering the classroom makes the guys cheer.
03:34It's something I didn't experience in my previous school, so I genuinely think it's impressive.
03:41She's on a whole different level from me.
03:43She's incredibly popular. I guess Reina is truly an amazing person.
03:49Hey Naoto, wanna have lunch together?
03:52Huh?
03:53I feel like eating on the rooftop. What do you think?
03:56Sorry, I'm having lunch with Otakuda today.
03:59Huh? O-otaku?
04:03Not an otaku. It's Otakuda.
04:06He's the guy from the next class, but we became friends when Ran introduced me to him.
04:11So today, we're gonna talk a lot about this anime called Tokisuku.
04:16W-w-what? You're joking, right? You're rejecting my offer?
04:22Sorry, but Otakuda's offer came first, so...
04:27Hmph! You don't have to act all embarrassed to get my attention, you know!
04:31Huh?
04:32Huh?
04:33Hey Naoto, you've become my fan in the past few days, huh?
04:37Nope, not at all.
04:39What?
04:40I don't become a fan of someone I barely know.
04:43What, are you serious?
04:45Yeah, I'm serious.
04:48Oh, well, I gotta go now, so see ya!
04:52What? Wait, you're kidding, right?
04:56He chose that gloomy nerd in the next class over me?
05:00Seriously, what's happening? This can't be happening!
05:05Did she get pissed because I turned down her offer?
05:08Ever since then, Reina keeps bugging me about everything.
05:13Good morning, Naoto.
05:15H-hey, Reina.
05:17Uh, aren't you a little too close, don't you think?
05:21Oh, really? It's just a normal thing for me.
05:24I don't think it's normal, though.
05:27What, are you getting all excited?
05:30So you're also into me after all.
05:33Hey, Naoto! I brought the manga you mentioned yesterday!
05:38Oh, Otakuda!
05:40Wanna read it together, man? Let's discuss our thoughts real hard!
05:44Sounds good, man. I wanted to talk about it, too.
05:48Hey, wait a sec!
05:50Sorry, Reina, Otakuda is calling me, so gotta go.
05:54What?!
05:56He's prioritizing that otaku over me?
05:59Unfreaking unacceptable!
06:03Phew, it's hot today, so I'm thirsty.
06:07Gotta stay hydrated, or I'll dry up.
06:10Hey, Naoto!
06:13What's up, Reina?
06:15I'm feeling so thirsty right now.
06:20So I kinda wanna sip out the drink you're having.
06:24Um, well, uh...
06:27No chance, huh?
06:29It might turn into an indirect kiss, but I'm not bothered.
06:33Sorry, I already drank it all.
06:38But there's, like, a vending machine, right? I think it's still stocked.
06:42Staying hydrated is important, so why not go buy one?
06:46Not that!
06:49Huh?
06:51On one of those typical days...
06:54What should I do? This is just too much.
06:57What's wrong, Ran? You look serious.
07:00Did you miss out on eating takoyaki?
07:03It ain't just cuz I couldn't eat takoyaki, geez!
07:07Well, you see, I'm actually the manager of the track and field club.
07:11But due to some family stuff, I won't be able to show up for club activities for a while.
07:16And it's a problem if the manager's absent, so I don't know what to do.
07:21In that case, should I become the manager?
07:24Huh? For real, you sure?
07:27I don't belong in any clubs, so I have time. I think I can fill in for you.
07:31Thanks, you're a lifesaver!
07:34Alright, I'll teach you what you need to do, so keep it up!
07:37Yeah! And thus, with Ran's guidance, I became the temporary manager of the track and field club.
07:45Huh? Naoto, you joined the track team?
07:49I know you couldn't resist me. That's why you became the manager, right?
07:54Nah, I'm just filling in for Ran.
07:57Yeah, I'm only doing it for a short while until Ran comes back, you know?
08:04Even though it's a short time, I'll give it my all, so you can count on me.
08:08Well, yeah. I mean, it's a sports team after all, so yeah.
08:12Make sure you got my back, okay?
08:14Sure thing!
08:16Whoa, Reina is so cool!
08:19I remember Ran saying she's super talented.
08:22I bet all the hard work and effort she's put in has really paid off.
08:26She's different from her usual self, but man, I can't help but respect her.
08:31Huh?
08:32Aw man, our eyes met!
08:35Whoa!
08:36Wow, wow, wow! She kinda looks more fabulous than she always does!
08:42Like, I mean, look at that! It's making my heart race!
08:46Oh, the contrast is insane!
08:50The next day during club activities.
08:53Hey Naoto!
08:54Yeah, what's up?
08:56Would you help me with stretching? There's some places I can't reach by myself.
09:01You sure it should be me? Shouldn't you ask someone else?
09:05I'm not an athlete, so I don't know if I can do it well.
09:09I want you to do it!
09:11Huh?
09:12Or is it that you don't want to stretch with me?
09:15No, it's not like that!
09:17Then let's do it together!
09:19Uh, alright! Okay, let's do it!
09:24She's so close! It's making my heart race! Aw man!
09:29What's up? You're making a weird face.
09:32Uh, no, I mean, well...
09:35Hey Reina, why did you join the track team?
09:38I've always been admiring Olympic athletes.
09:41I'm telling you, that side view while they're sprinting, it was so cool!
09:46I want to become a great athlete too, so I'm putting in all my effort!
09:50I want to keep running forever and ever!
09:53Reina...
09:54And there's a competition coming up soon, so I want to do my best!
09:59If it's you, Reina, you'll definitely get first place!
10:02Thanks!
10:04Okay, muscles all loose and ready! Time to hit the track!
10:09Alright!
10:10Reina really loves running, huh?
10:13Being the temporary manager naturally led to spending more time with Reina.
10:17And before I knew it, I found myself unconsciously drawn to her focused expression during club activities.
10:25Then one day, something unexpected happened.
10:28I think that's everything.
10:30Hey Naoto!
10:32Huh? Oh, what's up Reina? I thought we were done cleaning up.
10:37It's not about cleaning up.
10:39Not about cleaning up?
10:41Whaaat? Reina!
10:44Hey come on, why don't you pay more attention to me?
10:48Naoto, are you really not interested in me?
10:51It's not like that!
10:54Naoto, I'm serious about you! I'm really into you!
10:58What?
10:59At first I was just curious about you, cause you were different from other guys.
11:04But before I knew it, I couldn't help but chase after you.
11:07Your dedication and hidden hard work just really moved me, you know?
11:12N-nah, it's not...
11:14So listen up, okay? Don't ignore me! I want you to see me for real!
11:20W-well...
11:23Hey, what are you guys up to?
11:26Oh, um...
11:28If you're done cleaning up, go home.
11:30O-okay!
11:32Later Reina!
11:34N-Naoto!
11:36What the heck was that all about?
11:39After she confessed, I left her hanging without giving her an answer.
11:43Reina had been on my mind, no lie.
11:46But I wasn't sure if it was straight up love or some other things I couldn't figure out.
11:51And before I knew it, the day Ran would be back was right around the corner.
11:56But on the day before her return, Reina got injured during practice.
12:01Reina!
12:03Naoto, I won't be able to run for a while.
12:07Huh? That's...
12:09And with the competition coming up, I don't know what to do.
12:14Reina...
12:15Sorry, but give me some time alone.
12:19Ugh...
12:21Man, what can I even do?
12:24I want to support Reina, but...
12:26If you're stressing, the best move is to take action, man.
12:30Whoa!
12:31Otakura, why are you here?
12:34I went to lend you a book, but couldn't find you anywhere, so...
12:38So what's the deal? What's eating you up?
12:41I want to be there for Reina, especially after her injury.
12:45But I'm clueless about what I can actually do.
12:48Hmm... In that case, action is the only way to go.
12:53Starting with being straight-up honest about your feelings.
12:56That's one way to handle it.
12:58I see. Thanks, Otakura!
13:02Reina!
13:03Oh, hey Naoto.
13:05I want to help you out, Reina.
13:07Huh? Uh, what do you mean?
13:10I get that you're dead serious about track and field,
13:14so I want to support you till you make a comeback.
13:17Huh?
13:18Besides, about the manager, it's not a problem after Ran comes back, so...
13:23I want to be there for you, giving it my all.
13:26But, Naoto, I thought you weren't into me.
13:29Huh? Nah, it's not like that.
13:33Ahaha, gotcha.
13:37Well then, Naoto, let's do this.
13:40Yeah!
13:41From that day on, Reina and I started training together like a team.
13:45Even with her injured leg, I researched alternative training methods and designed workout routines.
13:51I looked into massages and meals that aid recovery and brought packed lunches.
13:56Basically, I did everything within my power.
13:59As we spent more time together, my heart started getting drawn to her.
14:03And then, the day of the competition arrived.
14:07Phew! We made it, huh?
14:10I was kind of freaking out, but we held on!
14:12How's your condition?
14:15You had my back, no doubt I'm at my best!
14:18Well, that's a relief!
14:20Alright, I gotta go now!
14:22To your best! I'll be cheering for you!
14:25Leave it to me, I'll bring home the gold!
14:29And so, the tournament began.
14:31Reina left other athletes in the dust, crossing the finish line with a massive lead.
14:36She conquered her injury and seized the championship.
14:41Naoto!
14:42Reina!
14:43I won! Thanks to you!
14:46Nah, it's all because you gave it your all!
14:50I couldn't make it this far because you supported me!
14:53Hey, Naoto. Let me say it again.
14:56I like you. I mean, like, a lot!
15:00At first, I got all fired up because you weren't easy to handle.
15:04But now it's different. I've seriously fallen for you.
15:08I feel the same way, Reina.
15:10I fell in love with your dedication and hard work.
15:13Be my girlfriend!
15:15Of course!
15:18After that, the tournament ended and I officially became the manager of the track and field club.
15:23Reina continued to shine as an outstanding track and field athlete.
15:27Motivated by this experience, I pursued a career as a sports doctor.
15:32I had a desire to support her as she thrived as an athlete.
15:36And as time went by...
15:38Several years later, it's the midst of the Olympics.
15:42Reina is performing as an athlete while I'm making my mark as a sports doctor.
15:47Alright then, give it your all!
15:49Yeah!
15:51Better watch me win, okay?
15:53Oh, yeah!
15:56Well then, I'll get going!
16:08Next and other videos, too!
