01:01who had moved in next door a first grader until I was discharged from the
01:06hospital Alisa came to visit me every day then on the day I was discharged at
01:12Alisa's invitation we were at the park so what did you want to talk about I like
01:23you too Alisa oh so that's what she meant but it's just a child's talk if
01:35you still like me when you grow up then we can get married from then on we
01:45continue to deepen our friendship and gradually our mothers also became good
01:49friends Alisa's mother was a single parent and sometimes Alisa stayed over
01:55at our place Alisa aren't you lonely when your mom is at work I get a little
02:02sad she's working hard for me so I'll be okay besides on her days off she goes
02:08out with me I see so that's how we spend our time and five years past Alisa
02:16you'll be a middle school student soon yeah and there's something I want to
02:22talk to you about today hmm is it about our old promise it's still too early to
02:28get married when you're in middle school no not that actually I'm going to move

02:54so promise me you won't forget our marriage promise yeah Alisa take care
03:03after that Alisa moved away however we stayed in touch regularly and I heard a
03:09lot about her life there after a while I became a working adult and though I
03:15struggled in the unfamiliar environment I worked hard determined not to be an
03:20embarrassment to Alisa and now ten years have passed hey say yeah what's
03:27with this design I got the green light from the client though it lacks the
03:31basics you know I think I as the son of the company's president should provide
03:38direct guidance no I'll pass what did you say I've been working at a design
03:46company for eight years I've received high praise from clients and handle most
03:50of the projects however I've been caught by the eye of my colleague and the
03:55president's son Charao Yabasugi Oh director I'll make some coffee
04:01Charao you're very considerate even though you're the president's son you're
04:06humble and our company is safe I'm honored to receive your praise don't get
04:14too cocky just because you're good at your job as long as you're in the good
04:18books of the superiors it's all good for you
04:22Charao is well liked within the company huh it's not a bad thing to try to
04:27please the superiors but I wish he'd stop with the sarcastic remarks and
04:32challenges every time I achieve something and then one day jeez right
04:39when it's crucial I'm sorry I didn't intentionally injure myself on my way to
04:45a meeting with a client I got into an accident breaking my leg well thanks to
04:52this I'll be getting lots of work this month even though we're in the same year
04:56I'll be promoted first it's bad isn't it when my old man retires I'll become the
05:04president he's knowingly going at it if this guy
05:07becomes the president I might consider changing jobs so as for you excuse me
05:15mr. Saito how are you feeling oh I have to go now well I'll be waiting for you
05:22at the office so get well soon he's clearly making a run for it
05:26miss Okada was it you've seen me in quite an embarrassing state let's forget

05:38you're better when you grow up if you see someone in need help them out wasn't
05:44it huh this feeling it's like something that happened in the past wait a minute
05:52Alisa even though she had an unfamiliar last name and couldn't remember it
06:01immediately Alisa had apparently noticed right after I was hospitalized
06:05Alisa had returned to this area when she got a job and now lived on her own we
06:11hadn't been in touch recently but she explained that she had been busy during
06:15her first year as a working adult she could have told me earlier about coming
06:20back here I'll be taking care of you from now on yeah thank you well I'm just
06:26glad we could reunite since then Alisa has been taking care of me as my
06:31attending nurse come on you're injured so I'll feed you I have a broken leg
06:38perhaps it's a remnant of the past but it feels like she's quite comfortable
06:43with me about a month later when I was starting to walk on my own isn't this a
06:50bit too close this is normal what if you lose your balance and fall by the
06:57way her different parts are touching me and so on one such day seriously Alisa
07:06can be quite a handful but well she's been a big help in many ways hey how
07:13about going on a date later I can't and besides didn't you come to visit someone
07:18a date is more important than that Charao what are you doing
07:24ah Seiya I'm not doing anything special I just came along to visit you just came
07:31along shut up I'm leaving already he called it a visit but he's leaving
07:36already thank you hey Alisa but this is a hospital oh my it's a problem if your
07:47leg hurts I'll escort you to your room I didn't say anything though despite
07:53being toyed with by Alisa my injury was recovering smoothly I was about to be
07:58discharged soon it happened one night did I hear some wait Alisa did I wake
08:08you up I just really wanted to talk to you talk hey remember even back in the
08:15past when you helped me it was like this is it about when you fell down the
08:21stairs yeah that's it so we made a promise right since I've grown up let's
08:28get married hold on a second why this all of a sudden we have barely been in
08:35contact lately because I wasn't independent yet what do you mean
08:41Seiya you're much older right that's why I was planning to work hard and become
08:47independent before visiting you I've been working hard all this time with
08:51that feeling as my support Alisa I don't want to force my feelings on you
08:58unilaterally so I'll wait until your feelings are clear I've been thinking
09:04about you for over 10 years so little more won't change much I'll make some
09:09approaches to make you like me though shortly after that I was discharged
09:16however I wasn't completely healed and due to the workplace injury I had to
09:21take a leave of absence for a while welcome to my home it's really spacious
09:28are you sure I can stay here with you I rented a large room for you to feel
09:32comfortable whenever you come over for days like these you know in truth I had
09:38intended to return to my family home I'll take care of Seiya plus I'm a nurse
09:43so I can assist with daily life and rehabilitation leave it to me we trust
09:48you Alisa take care of Seiya okay I'll take care of him for a long time thank
09:55you Alisa my parents agreed readily and we ended up living together we started
10:04living together but Alisa took care of most of the household chores sometimes I
10:09did some small tasks but she made sure I didn't strain myself to avoid making my
10:13injury worse it feels a bit too overprotective though however there were
10:18times when I would go shopping as part of my rehabilitation or for a light
10:22exercise today after Alisa had finished her shift we were heading to a cafe she
10:27had been wanting to go to as a reward for her consecutive shifts but oh isn't
10:33that Seiya you've been discharged charao hey that girl you're skipping work to
10:41go on a date with a nurse nice position you've got there I'm not
10:46skipping work the doctor said I can't work and I've even applied for a leave
10:51of absence you got a medical certificate using the nurses connections didn't you
10:56hey hey instead of a coward like him how about dating me I decline we've
11:04known each other since way back and I'm just providing support until his injury
11:08is healed besides I have no interest in someone like you what you'll regret it
11:14I'm sorry about my colleague Seiya it's not your fault so don't worry well let's
11:21regain our composure and continue our date after that we once again made our
11:27way to the cafe but what's wrong my balloon got stuck in the tree and it's
11:36flying away I will get it for you let me get it
11:41here I go okay sorry I might not be able to reach it
11:49hold on let me give it a try all right got it you're welcome just remember
11:57don't let it go okay okay well should we head to the cafe no let's go back today
12:05uh-huh but you were looking forward to it but Seiya your leg hurt when you
12:11reached for the balloon earlier didn't it yeah you noticed that I am a nurse
12:18after all plus I don't want you pushing yourself too hard I'll make plenty of
12:24requests once I'm feeling better how about we go back for today okay
12:30sure Alisa had grown even more than I had imagined during the ten years we
12:36hadn't seen each other she had matured beyond what I remembered and it was
12:40challenging to interact with her as I used to when she was so open and cute
12:44while being at the mercy of this more grown-up Alisa I continued my recovery
12:50however on one particular day how long are you going to be on leave well it's
12:57been three months already right you can walk normally so how long are you going
13:04to keep playing hooky I've explained before that I'm not playing hooky it's
13:09just that going out for meetings and long commutes is challenging so if it's
13:12office work you should have recovered from your injury around when you learned
13:17the job geez if you don't want to work that badly maybe you should consider a
13:24different path if this guy becomes the company president will I keep being
13:31pushed around like this in that case I understand I'll resign good good I
13:39always thought that having an unmotivated employee would be a nuisance
13:43when I become the president I'll take care of the paperwork so just write your
13:49resignation letter all right I've considered changing jobs before and it's
13:56better to do this than to be constantly resented by Charao but oh welcome back
14:02Seya I'm heading to the night shift after I eat but I'm sorry Alisa I'm
14:08moving out of this house huh the thing is I decided to resign I wanted to
14:15change jobs but I can't work for a while and I don't want to be a burden so I
14:21thought I'd go back to my parents house and recover there is that all then how
14:30about helping with the household chores here you're supposed to help someone in
14:36need right besides sometimes I neglect the housework when I come back from the
14:42night shift and it would be a big help to have someone here I've held off on
14:48asking because of your injury but now that you're feeling better it should be
14:51okay right if it's that then of course but I need to work and earn money how
14:58about starting your own business then huh several months later another tiring
15:05day at work but I have a promise with Alisa later and I'm looking forward to
15:10it hey isn't that Seya? Charao what a coincidence I actually just had a
15:18business meeting at the company over there and it seems like they'll be doing
15:23business with you huh yes that's right after retiring I became an independent
15:31designer with Alisa's encouragement when the proposal was first offered I was
15:37hesitant you can't work for a company now right if you become independent you
15:43can adjust your work and it's okay to take on challenges isn't it I'll support
15:47you now so I want you to challenge without fearing failure Alisa thank you
15:53thanks to Alisa I was able to make the decision and now I'm active as a
15:58freelance designer I even received a request from my previous clients and
16:03things have been going well from the start give the contract to us and maybe
16:08you can come back here you know freelancing can be quite troublesome in
16:13many ways no they've been giving me work there's no way I'm giving it up besides
16:20your nagging is more bothersome I have no intention of returning now yeah
16:28that's right you are the one who let Seya leave right oh Alisa I've been
16:36watching thinking it's best not to interfere but there's something I want
16:40to say too I won't hand Seya over to someone insincere who asks out a girl
16:46for a date under the pretense of visiting someone please leave and so the
16:55matter with Charao came to a close afterward we enjoyed some time together
17:00at a cafe we couldn't visit before Alisa there's something I want to talk about
17:06what is it about the promise it's been 10 years so can we forget about it huh
17:14since it's a childhood promise I think we shouldn't be bound by the words of
17:19that time at first we were just kids at seven but I haven't changed my feelings
17:26since then you know before we moved I understood what marriage was and I
17:31wanted to marry of my own will certainly you were my first love so there were
17:37times when I wasn't sure if it was real romantic feelings but with other boys
17:41our age I never had these feelings from a long time ago even now without a doubt
17:48I can say I love Seya Alisa but I'm sorry I still want to consider that
17:55promise as if it never happened I I but you see back then we were just kids so I
18:05thought it was an ordinary promise that we'd forget someday however I've come to
18:11love you as a woman Alisa so once again with the intention of marriage would you
18:18be with me I love you too and with this we made a new promise of marriage after
18:28that Charao became increasingly irritable due to a decline in the
18:32company's performance and started taking it out on those around him as a result
18:37he lost trust and was removed from the position of the next company president
18:42they asked me to succeed him but I politely declined because I wanted to
18:47work from home while waiting for Alisa to return and then we... Seya we're finally getting
18:55married right sorry for making you wait it's been about 15 years since the first
19:01promise right yeah but we decided to consider that first promise as if it
19:07never happened right so I want to make a new promise
19:11mm-hmm let's be happy together of course I'll protect you for a lifetime
