00:00Good morning, Eito!
00:02Woah!
00:05My name is Eito Sasaki, 18 years old.
00:08Why did I end up so surprised this early in the morning?
00:11Well, it's because she's the person I have a crush on.
00:16Why is Reina here?
00:18If you're looking for my sister's room, it's next door.
00:23I know.
00:24But I heard you were still sleeping, so I came to wake you up.
00:28I appreciate that, but...
00:32Waking up to a close-up of my crush's face is way too much for my heart.
00:39The two years older than me, Reckless Girl, is the one I have a crush on,
00:43and she's my sister's friend.
00:46Her name is Reina Aoki, and she was actually a delinquent in middle and high school.
00:53Reina, this is my little brother Eito.
00:55Nice to meet you, I'm Eito.
01:00Oh?
01:06Was she too much for Eito to handle yet?
01:09Don't laugh, seriously!
01:12Sorry for scaring you, Eito.
01:14I'm not really mad.
01:16Will you be friends with me and my friends?
01:18Friends?
01:20Yeah, I want to be friends with you.
01:23Then, let's be friends.
01:28Thanks.
01:30That one moment of fear was the only scary part.
01:33In reality, she wasn't scary at all.
01:36When she came over to my house, we played together,
01:39and I found myself falling for her unguarded smile and kindness.
01:43Before I knew it, my one-sided crush history was becoming more than I could count on one hand.
01:50So, the fact that you're here this early in the morning,
01:54does that mean you're going somewhere with my sister today?
01:57Huh? Haven't you heard?
02:00What are you talking about?
02:03Today marks the start of summer break for university.
02:07Ah, right.
02:08So I'll be staying over here starting today.
02:11Nice to see you again!
02:14Huh? What?
02:16Hey, what's going on?
02:18Reina is going to be staying over.
02:21Do mom and dad know about this?
02:24Of course they know.
02:26She quit being a delinquent and went to university, right?
02:30Yeah, but she misinterpreted the whole
02:33quit being a delinquent and go to a prestigious university thing during her exams.
02:39Well, she moved out when she got into university,
02:42but her apartment recently burned down.
02:45So, she's staying here until she finds a new place.
02:49That's the deal, Eito!
02:50Let's hang out like we used to, okay?
02:53Aren't you gonna stay at your parents' place?
02:56My parents decided to spend the rest of their lives overseas
03:00and move there as soon as I graduated from high school.
03:03In other words, I don't have a family home in this country.
03:08Oh.
03:10Aren't you happy that you get to share a roof with me?
03:14Well…
03:15Our parents are usually not home during the day,
03:18so you can hang out during summer break, right?
03:21I used to take care of you a lot when you were in elementary school.
03:26You were like,
03:26Rei! Rei!
03:28You used to follow me around all the time.
03:32Stop bringing up the past!
03:35You were more attached to Reina than your own sister.
03:39Eito is head over heels for me, huh?
03:41Ahaha!
03:42Huh?
03:46Ahaha! Just kidding!
03:51Well, for now, that's the story, okay?
03:54This can't be true, can it?
03:56Living with the person I have a crush on!
03:59Could it be that my love life is about to take a turn for the better?
04:05With such faint hopes, life with Reina began.
04:09Hey, don't be so rough!
04:11But if I don't do it this way…
04:15Be more gentle!
04:18That's impossible. You know I can't do that.
04:22I see. Then…
04:25Hahahaha! How do you like that?!
04:29Using dirty tricks is unfair!
04:32Aha! No, that's not allowed!
04:36No excuses! Carelessness is your greatest enemy!
04:41Ah!
04:43All right! I won!
04:46Well, I lost.
04:48That makes it… 77 wins out of 77 matches for me!
04:53Hmm? Did you really think you could beat me?
04:57I've been playing Street Fighter since 1987!
05:01The release date was in 1987. How old are you?
05:07It's rude to ask a lady her age.
05:10So that's why you've never had a girlfriend!
05:14What?! That's not relevant! I just pointed out your mistake!
05:21Just kidding! Why are you getting so worked up? You're cute!
05:27Stop teasing me like that again!
05:30Come on now, boy! Don't get too upset!
05:33Quick-tempered guys don't attract anyone, you know!
05:36Or am I teasing you again?
05:40Please stop talking about that!
05:43Sorry, sorry! I just have so much fun when I'm with you!
05:48So, what should we do next? Super Smash Bros? How about Power Pro? Or maybe Winning Eleven?
05:54Well, it doesn't really matter because I won't lose no matter what!
05:58Wow! She's really into all those classic games that guys love!
06:03It's like I'm just hanging out with one of the guys!
06:06But seriously, even though we're a guy and a girl living under the same roof,
06:11there's no sign of anything romantic happening.
06:13Well…
06:16I knew it! I knew this person and I wouldn't suddenly start a romantic comedy together!
06:22I'd be surprised if it suddenly turned into a love story!
06:26Ugh, she really doesn't understand other people's feelings!
06:31Hey, why the long face? Like a Tibetan sand fox!
06:37It's your fault for letting your guard down!
06:40I'm not sulking or anything! I just thought it was hot!
06:46You're right. It's hot. Why haven't you turned on the air conditioner?
06:52It broke down yesterday.
06:55Even if I wanted to buy a new one, they cost around a thousand dollars.
07:01My part-time job earnings won't cover it.
07:04That's true, but in this heat, I'm going to melt.
07:08Should I go get some ice cream? Eating it should make us feel cooler!
07:13That would be great! Get some for us!
07:16Alright, just wait a moment.
07:19And a few minutes later…
07:23This ice cream is delicious! Ice cream is the best in the summer, right?
07:28Mmm…
07:31She's so carefree. Maybe she really doesn't see me in a romantic way after all.
07:38I wish she had a little more awareness that I'm a guy too.
07:43What are you looking at? Why are you staring at me?
07:47I'm not staring at you!
07:50Oh boy! If you want to look, I can show you! There, there!
07:56There, there!
07:58Geez! Don't tease me like that!
08:02What's the matter? Don't be so reserved!
08:06Ah! Wait, Reina! What are you doing?
08:10What do you mean? It's just some light physical contact.
08:15Even if it's light, this kind of thing is not okay!
08:19Don't get too close! Please move away!
08:22Otherwise, things might get complicated.
08:28You're turning so red!
08:31Reina-na!
08:36Honestly, Reina is such a handful!
08:40If she gets this close, my heart can't help but race!
08:45But I guess I'm the only one feeling this way.
08:48The lively summer vacation with Reina passes by.
08:53Despite living under the same roof, there's no progress in our romance.
08:57But spending every day with the person I like was incredibly enjoyable.
09:02Then, one day…
09:05Eito! Let's go to the pool since it's so hot!
09:10That's sudden!
09:12At this rate, I'll melt!
09:14I don't want to feel guilty about turning on the living room's air conditioner.
09:18Plus, it's cooler at the pool than in your room.
09:21You have a point. It might be a good idea.
09:25Well then, let's go!
09:27Huh? What about my sister?
09:31I invited her, but she said she has some plans with some of her friends today.
09:36So, it's just the two of us! Enjoy it!
09:41Seriously? Just the two of us? It's almost like a date!
09:45It's almost like a date!
09:48Several hours later…
09:51All right! Let's swim like crazy!
09:55Mmm! She's cute! Her swimsuit is incredibly cute! She's practically an angel!
10:05What's with that look? Did you get mesmerized by my swimsuit?
10:11No, it's not like that!
10:13Sure, sure, whatever! Let's play already!
10:17And after a few more hours…
10:22I'm all played out. Let's take a break.
10:26Are you thirsty? I'll go buy something.
10:29Really? Thanks!
10:32Wait here!
10:34Took a bit longer because there was a line.
10:38What's your problem?
10:40Reina's voice?
10:42I told you I'm here with my friend!
10:46Just leave that guy alone!
10:49Cut it out! I'm not interested in any of you!
10:53Geez, you're so annoying! I was being nice, you know?
10:58What did you say?
11:00Ah! Reina is in trouble! I have to step in!
11:05Uh, excuse me! Please don't lay a hand on her!
11:08Eitel! Wait, don't get involved!
11:13I won't! I'm a guy too, you know?
11:16Huh? What's your deal?
11:19I'm her friend, so…
11:22Oh, you're such a weakling! Being with someone like this is lame!
11:28Oh no!
11:31Ouch!
11:33You jerk! What were you thinking?
11:36It's okay, I'm fine!
11:39It's not okay! I'm gonna break you!
11:43What's with you? Aren't you gonna fight back, loser?
11:48Before you even think about fighting back, you shouldn't push people around like that!
11:53Huh?
11:54Hey, you guys! Come with me to the office for a bit!
12:02You did something dangerous, so you're getting a lecture!
12:06If you're injured, make sure to come to the office too!
12:09Alright, let's go!
12:12Eitel! Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?
12:17I'm fine, really!
12:19You know, you aren't tough, so don't do anything reckless!
12:25I know, it's embarrassing!
12:28But thanks for protecting me.
12:32Ah! C-cute! That's right, I've always liked the smile of hers!
12:41You've always been kind, and I can rely on you!
12:45Huh? What's this about now?
12:48It's nothing! Let's have some juice and go play!
12:52We continued to enjoy our time to the fullest, and eventually, we returned home.
12:58Our shared life together continued from that point on.
13:02One day.
13:04Tonight's dinner is curry, so what else do we need?
13:09How about adding some eggplants?
13:12Isn't this too close?
13:14We've been spending a lot of time together, but isn't this getting too comfortable?
13:20Sounds good! Let's make it a summer vegetable curry!
13:24What else should we add? Tomato?
13:28Oh, and for dessert, ice cream!
13:31Didn't we have that yesterday, too?
13:34Come on, dessert uses a different stomach!
13:37Plus, let's enjoy it with just the two of us!
13:40It's before dinner!
13:43We're accomplices, aren't we?
13:46Honestly!
13:48Mmm, it's delicious!
13:51In the end, we're eating while walking back home.
13:54Oh, Reina, yours is melting!
13:57Huh? Really? Oh no!
14:03Aw, come on, we need to eat quickly!
14:06This is so typical, but…
14:09Huh? Why are you turning so red?
14:13N-no!
14:16I bet you were imagining all sorts of things!
14:22That's not it!
14:23You're a boy after all!
14:29I told you, that's not it!
14:34You're such a cute guy!
14:36Please stop teasing me!
14:39The summer vacation passed in the blink of an eye.
14:42The noisy yet enjoyable days only intensified my feelings.
14:47However, that moment suddenly arrived.
14:51You're moving out?
14:53Well, summer vacation is almost over, right?
14:57I can't keep relying on you forever!
15:00I can't believe it!
15:01I won't be able to be with Reina anymore!
15:05It's lonely, but do I have any right to stop her?
15:13Well then, let's celebrate before you leave!
15:17Is that okay?
15:19Sister, you just want to make some noise, don't you?
15:23You got me!
15:25But it's fine, isn't it?
15:26A celebration!
15:28So we'll have a party this weekend!
15:31And so, the weekend arrived.
15:35We ate, we partied!
15:38Sis, it's Reina's special day!
15:40But you're the one who's partying too hard!
15:45It's fine!
15:46That's what's great about her!
15:49Actually, we're running out of snacks, so I'll go buy more!
15:53I'll go too!
15:55A-Til, you'll stay here, okay?
15:58Got it!
15:59Hmm, it's getting quiet, and I'm suddenly feeling sleepy.
16:06I'll just take a short nap while waiting.
16:10They'll wake me up when they come back.
16:13Probably.
16:14Oh no, I slept quite a bit!
16:17Wait, they must have come back already.
16:22Hey, are you awake?
16:25Come on, you're way too jumpy!
16:29I'll get surprised when you're this close.
16:32By the way, where's my sister?
16:35She went back to her room.
16:37Oh, I see.
16:38I'll go check on her.
16:39Okay!
16:39I'll be right back!
16:40I'll be right back!
16:41I'll be right back!
16:42I'll be right back!
16:42I'll be right back!
16:43I'll be right back!
16:43I'll be right back!
16:43I'll be right back!
16:43I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:44I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:45I'll be right back!
16:46I see.
16:48Uh, Reina, you're really close.
16:52Please don't get so close.
16:55What's the big deal?
16:56It's just the two of us.
16:59That's why it's a problem.
17:01I'm a guy, you know?
17:04If you get this close, I might turn into a wolf.
17:08Then become one.
17:10Huh?
17:12Why aren't you doing anything?
17:14Uh, wait, Reina, this is...
17:19Is there really nothing attractive about me?
17:22I've been waiting for you to make a move this whole time.
17:26What?
17:28A man who doesn't seize the opportunity is a disgrace.
17:32Wait, what are you talking about?
17:35If you tease me like that, even I'll get mad.
17:39I'm not teasing you!
17:41I've always...
17:44Sorry, I left my phone in this room.
17:49What are you two up to?
17:51N-n-n-nothing!
17:53Hmm, something seems fishy.
17:58Nothing's fishy!
17:59I'm going to bed now.
18:00Let's go!
18:02Since that day, things got a bit awkward between Reina and me.
18:06I kept wanting to ask about what she was going to say,
18:10but she kept avoiding me and our days continued like that.
18:15At this rate, nothing will change and I'll be separated from Reina.
18:21Throughout the summer vacation, there were countless chances to express my feelings.
18:27No, it's been like this from the beginning,
18:30yet I've let myself be carried away by the fun times.
18:35I can't keep hesitating just because I'm afraid of ruining our relationship anymore.
18:40In my last summer of high school, I'm going all in.
18:45Yes?
18:46Hey, I need to talk to you, so open up.
18:51What's up?
18:53There are night aquarium tickets here.
18:55Even during summer vacation, there are fewer people at night,
18:58so it's the perfect time for a serious talk, right?
19:02And?
19:04Actually, I invited Reina today.
19:07But, uh, I'm planning to have a stomachache tonight.
19:11Could someone else go in my place?
19:14So you want me to go?
19:17Great, then you can go in my place.
19:20Thanks, I'm going now.
19:23Show some manliness, little bro.
19:27What should I do? I'm getting really nervous.
19:31If I get rejected, I guess it's better to stop.
19:35No, if I've made up my mind, I need to convey my feelings properly.
19:40I've liked her for so long, and this feeling can't be beaten by anyone else.
19:46Reina!
19:48Eito, why are you here?
19:51My sister gave me her ticket.
19:54I see.
19:57Well, I'm leaving then.
19:59Please wait!
20:01What's up? I have something to do.
20:04Psh, don't run away. I have something I want to tell you, Reina.
20:09Something you want to tell me?
20:11I really like you. I've liked you for a long time.
20:17That's a lie! You never made a move.
20:21I didn't want to ruin our current relationship.
20:24I didn't want everything to crumble into pieces, and for us to be separated.
20:29I-I really liked you, too, since that day.
20:34That day?
20:36When I was feeling down and crying.
20:40Darn it! Why?
20:44Rei, what's wrong?
20:46Eito, it's nothing.
20:50Don't cry, Rei. I'm here for you.
20:54Eito, I love you.
20:58You're such a kind person.
21:01Use this.
21:03Are you sure? This is your precious handkerchief.
21:08You're more precious to me than my handkerchief.
21:11So, please, use it.
21:13And I think Rei looks better with a smile.
21:20That handkerchief you handed me at that time, it was so warm.
21:25Your kindness was the starting point, and gradually, I fell in love with you.
21:31Is that so? Hey, are you really okay with someone like me?
21:36Stop blabbering!
21:42I love you. What about you?
21:46I love you, too.
21:49Then that's all that matters.
21:50We both love each other, and we don't need anything complicated.
21:55All right, then. Shall we go?
21:58Where to?
22:00To the aquarium! You've got tickets, right? It's our first date, after all.
22:06Yeah.
22:08Ah, the zest of youth. Add something else.
22:13A few days later, Reina moved to a nearby apartment.
22:17Nowadays, I visit Reina's place. We spend weekends together at home.
22:23We're getting along well and are deeply in love.
22:26And as time passed, I graduated from high school.
22:31Starting today, I'm gonna live in here, too.
22:34Sure. Sounds great. It's like a dream that we can live together again.
22:41From today, please wake me up every morning.
22:45Yes, I have to. It's a special privilege.
22:49From now on, being able to see this smile every morning makes me a truly fortunate person.
22:56And I'll do my best to keep her smiling like this forever.
