00:00Where the heck is everybody?
00:05My name's Sayakato.
00:06I'm a junior in high school, and we're on a four-day school trip to Kyoto.
00:12Not having any friends kinda sucked, so I ended up with this outgoing group that needed
00:17an extra person.
00:18I can't believe I got separated from them, and I can't even reach Charao, the group
00:23leader.
00:24Guess I'll just sightsee on my own.
00:27We gotta meet up at the station in the evening, anyway.
00:30Wait, is that Ai?
00:32S-Saya?
00:33Her name's Ai Sasaki.
00:37She's this quiet classmate of mine, and she's way easier to talk to than most people.
00:42I've always found myself kinda curious about her.
00:45Why are you all alone?
00:47I'm kinda the odd one out in my group.
00:51I figured everyone would have more fun without me, so I decided to go sightseeing by myself.
00:58I totally get that feeling.
01:00Wanna hang out with me instead?
01:02Huh?
01:03Are you sure?
01:05Yeah, I lost my group too.
01:08It's kinda lame to do this trip solo, you know?
01:11What do you think?
01:12O-okay.
01:13Sure.
01:14Let's go.
01:15Man, this bus is packed.
01:18S-sorry.
01:19I'm, like, way too close, huh?
01:24It's all good.
01:25But seriously, why does she smell so nice?
01:29After finally getting to our destination, we started exploring and enjoying the sights.
01:34We took photos at tourist spots, and checked out souvenir shops.
01:39Hanging out with Ai is actually pretty fun.
01:42Disculpe.
01:43Puede indicarme como llegar?
01:46Oh!
01:47Uh...
01:48Oh!
01:49Oh!
01:50A foreigner!
01:51She can't speak Spanish, right?
01:54We gotta help her out.
01:56Uh...
01:57Quiero ir aquĂ.
01:59Um...
02:00Wait, she's speaking Spanish?
02:03Oh yeah, she does help people out a lot.
02:07That's pretty awesome.
02:09Thank you very much!
02:12That scared me.
02:14You're amazing at Spanish!
02:17Oh?
02:18It was just... simple.
02:21I actually envy people who can make friends easily.
02:25I'm always scared I'll say something that might hurt someone.
02:29So I can't bring myself to talk to people.
02:32But you talk to me just fine.
02:34Yeah...
02:36For some reason, talking to you feels easy.
02:40But with others, I just can't do it.
02:44It's kinda pathetic, right?
02:46No way, not at all.
02:49I really admire how kind you are, Ai.
02:52Huh?
02:53Anyone who gets to be friends with you is super lucky.
02:57What about...
03:00Like...
03:01A boyfriend?
03:03Uh, yeah.
03:04I think they'd be even luckier.
03:07Thank you!
03:09Hearing that from you makes me really happy.
03:12Oh, cool.
03:14Glad I could help.
03:17A few hours later.
03:19Phew, finally made it back.
03:22Yeah, did you seriously just spend the day with another outcast?
03:27Oh, guys!
03:29Sorry, I got separated.
03:31I tried calling Chato, but couldn't get through.
03:34Huh?
03:35Chato said you had stuff to do and wanted to go off on your own.
03:39What?
03:40What are you guys talking about?
03:42Dude, you don't have any friends and like being alone, right?
03:45I was just being considerate, man.
03:48Yeah, and we had a blast without Ai around.
03:53No way I could hang out with someone as boring as her.
03:59Hey, cut it out.
04:00Ai's a good person.
04:02Oh, look at you two.
04:04Having a pity party for outcasts.
04:06You two are perfect for each other.
04:10Dude, stop it.
04:12Come on, the teacher's calling for us.
04:14Let's go.
04:15Wait, I'm not done talking.
04:18Man, Chato really hates me.
04:21Hope nothing else goes wrong.
04:25But that night...
04:26Ugh.
04:27Huh?
04:28Why is it so dark in here?
04:30We went to the public bath after dinner.
04:33I hate crowded places, so I took a shower in the room and...
04:37Must have fallen asleep.
04:39Are you awake?
04:41Whoa!
04:42Who's this cute girl?
04:45Your sleeping face is so adorable, Seiya.
04:49That voice...
04:50Ai?
04:51What are you doing in my room?
04:54Well, you like me, right?
04:58What?
04:59You said I could make friends, but you never said we're friends.
05:05So that means we're not friends but lovers, right?
05:08Whoa, that's a huge leap.
05:10I don't get it.
05:12No need to be shy.
05:14You saved me from those guys earlier, so it's obvious you like me.
05:19So let's sleep together tonight, okay?
05:22I just couldn't leave you hanging, that's all.
05:26Is that really it?
05:28Wasn't there another reason?
05:31Uh, well...
05:33Man, that hot spring was great.
05:36Let's get up early for another dip tomorrow.
05:39Oh no, they're back!
05:42They can't see us like this!
05:44This way, quick!
05:47We're back!
05:48Where's Seiya?
05:50Maybe he's at the souvenir shop in the lobby or something.
05:54This is...
05:56This is bad!
05:57I can't get out like this!
06:00If you wanted to be this close, you sure just said so.
06:06That's not it!
06:08Huh? Did you hear something from the closet?
06:11Shoot, gotta cover this up!
06:14M-Meow?
06:17Oh, it's just a cat.
06:19Guess it's nothing.
06:21Phew, they bought it.
06:23But there aren't any cats here.
06:26Someone please point that out!
06:30It's so exciting doing this with classmates right outside!
06:34Listen, your heart's racing!
06:38That's cause you're acting totally different.
06:41You like this version of me?
06:44I'll be like this whenever we're alone.
06:47What?!
06:48Shh!
06:50Don't make a sound.
06:53Be quiet!
06:56Please guys, just go to sleep already!
06:59Later that night, when everyone was finally asleep, I slipped out of the room.
07:06The next morning.
07:08We're heading to Koiwa Shrine today, right?
07:11Yeah, we get an hour of free time when we get there.
07:15Wait, eyes back to normal.
07:17Was all that last night just a dream?
07:20Huh?
07:22Shh!
07:25It wasn't a dream!
07:27I hope nothing happens today.
07:31A few hours later.
07:33Lost again!
07:35Am I seriously jinxed?
07:37Seiya!
07:39I? Why are you here?
07:42I gave you that look this morning, remember?
07:45Told you we'd meet up later, just the two of us.
07:49It's like we're connected by fate!
07:52I had no idea that's what you meant!
07:55Come on, let's go!
07:58Wow, this torii gate is impressive!
08:02Wanna take a pic in front of it?
08:05Do you like taking photos?
08:07You were snapping a lot yesterday too.
08:10My mom loves photos.
08:12I got it from her.
08:13She's looking forward to the school trip pics.
08:16Then we have to take some good ones.
08:18Alright, let's snap one.
08:21Okay, say cheese!
08:24How did it turn out?
08:26Looks good!
08:28But it feels like I've seen it somewhere before.
08:31But I just took it, so that can't be...
08:34I thought the same thing!
08:36We really are in sync!
08:38We should totally get married!
08:41Hold up, calm down!
08:44An hour later.
08:46It's almost time to meet up.
08:48I need to change back.
08:50Why do you dress like that in front of everyone?
08:53When I was in elementary school,
08:56other girls used to say stuff about me.
08:59What?
09:00In middle school,
09:02a girl said I was flirting with her crush.
09:05But when I dress like this,
09:07no one says anything.
09:10But you've always been kind to me, Seiya.
09:13You never cared about looks.
09:15That's why I like you.
09:18So I only want you to know the real me.
09:21I appreciate your feelings, Ai.
09:25But don't you want friends?
09:28It's fine!
09:30I'll never have friends anyway.
09:32That's not true!
09:34If people knew how kind you are,
09:36they'd definitely want to be your friend.
09:38Seiya?
09:40I don't have friends either,
09:42but I've always wanted them.
09:44So let's try together, okay?
09:46Thank you.
09:48I feel like I can try.
09:50If it's with you.
09:52After that,
09:53we walked to the meeting place,
09:55planning how to make friends.
09:57During the trip,
09:58we stayed with our group to get closer to them.
10:01I was trying hard to talk with others in our group.
10:04Thanks to that,
10:05even after the trip,
10:06I saw her hanging out with the girls in our class.
10:12A week after the trip.
10:14You've been hanging out with Usami a lot.
10:16She was kind of mean during the trip,
10:18but did she come around?
10:20Yes!
10:21Once we talked,
10:22she was really nice.
10:24I'm glad you made friends.
10:26Yeah!
10:28And...
10:31Do...
10:32Do you wanna go on a date this weekend?
10:36What?
10:37I wanna thank you, so...
10:40If it's for that, sure!
10:43A few days later.
10:45I can't believe I'm going on a date with Ai!
10:48Sorry to keep you waiting!
10:50Oh, Ai!
10:53Holy moly!
10:54She's super cute!
10:56Huh?
10:57Is everything alright?
10:59No, it's nothing!
11:01Come on, let's go!
11:03Penguins are cute!
11:05Hmm...
11:07Which one of us is cuter?
11:09Huh?
11:10Well...
11:12You didn't call me cute earlier!
11:15Was my outfit not good?
11:17Gotta work harder so you think I'm cute next time!
11:20I'll do anything to be your dream girl!
11:23Hey, calm down!
11:24You're cute no matter what!
11:26Huh?
11:27Really?
11:30I'm so happy!
11:32This girl's getting way too cute!
11:36Later on, as we kept dating,
11:38I noticed Ai laughs a lot,
11:40which I didn't see much at school.
11:42Got me all fluttered.
11:44After a bit, we went into a souvenir shop.
11:48Oh!
11:49Usami might like these!
11:51Wait, sorry!
11:52It's our date, didn't I?
11:54No, it's fine.
11:56Friends are important.
11:58Don't worry about it.
12:00Yeah!
12:01Thanks!
12:03Today was fun, huh?
12:05Yeah.
12:06Oh, Charo and...
12:08Usami?
12:09The rumor about them being together,
12:11was it true?
12:13Hey, Usami!
12:14What's with playing friends with Ai?
12:17She just does whatever I tell her to,
12:19so I let her be my...
12:21friend...
12:22for now.
12:24What?
12:26Nobody would want to hang out with a nerd like her, huh?
12:30How could she?
12:32I'm playing with her feelings!
12:34Please stop!
12:36It's my fault I suck at making friends!
12:39That's not...
12:41Thanks for today,
12:43but I need some time alone.
12:46Oh!
12:48Huh?
12:49This is a souvenir she got for Usami.
12:53I really thought Usami was her friend.
12:56Crushing her like that,
12:57I can't stand it!
12:59But how do I cheer her up?
13:02I'm home!
13:03Whoa!
13:05Seiya!
13:06Mom!
13:07Why is this place a mess?
13:09I was organizing albums and found a ton of old photos.
13:13Is she a messy teenager or what?
13:16You won't believe it!
13:18You took a photo on your trip that looks
13:20just like one from your Shichigosan ceremony!
13:24Huh?
13:25And the girl next to you is Ai, right?
13:28W-wait!
13:29Can you tell me more about that?
13:32Monday.
13:34Hey, Ai!
13:35Got a favor to ask.
13:37Yeah, same here!
13:39Sorry.
13:40I can't listen to you anymore, Usami.
13:43What?
13:44We're friends, right?
13:47I saw you talking trash with Charo the other day.
13:52Huh?
13:53Spying on us?
13:55No wonder you can't make friends.
13:57That's not true!
13:59Ai's important to me!
14:01If you mess with her, you mess with me!
14:04Huh?
14:05S-Seiya!
14:06W-what are you...
14:08We met when we were little.
14:10Look at this!
14:12That's...
14:13me...
14:14when I was a kid.
14:17What's going on?
14:19Ai, you used to live near me.
14:21We were close, always playing together.
14:24Oh, yeah.
14:25I remember moving because of Dad's job.
14:28But I can't believe I forgot.
14:32You were five.
14:33My mom remembered and told me.
14:36I've always had this strange feeling about you, Ai.
14:38I couldn't remember, but my heart did.
14:41That's why I always felt comfortable talking to you, Seiya.
14:45Our hearts remembered.
14:48Maybe we're meant to be.
14:50I don't want you to be alone anymore.
14:52So, go out with me.
14:55What?
14:56I love how you're always kind to everyone,
14:58and how you care so deeply.
15:00I've always liked you because of that.
15:03Yeah, I like you too.
15:05You've always been there for me when I needed help, Seiya.
15:09I've liked you all along.
15:13What's so great about this plain girl?
15:17I'm way prettier, right?
15:20Well then...
15:23How about this?
15:25What?
15:26You were this cute?
15:28Well, if that's the case, I take it back.
15:31No way someone this cute ends up with Seiya.
15:34Wait, what are you...
15:36Hey, pick me instead.
15:38Date me.
15:39What?
15:41You're my boyfriend.
15:43Shut up.
15:44You were just for fun.
15:45You're such a pain.
15:47What?
15:48Do you even care about my feelings?
15:50Betrayal is just the worst.
15:53Cut it out, you two.
15:55Seriously, you guys are the least attractive here.
15:58What?
16:00I know, right?
16:01Charo, you're just a pretty face with a nasty personality.
16:05What?
16:06And Uzami, betraying people like that?
16:09Not cool.
16:10I thought you were friends with Ai.
16:12Ugh!
16:13But...
16:14When did you all get here?
16:16Spying on us like that.
16:18We've been listening the whole time.
16:20You guys were too busy with yourselves.
16:23Before you criticize others,
16:25maybe you should look at your own actions.
16:30After that, word got around school,
16:33and the two of them got quiet.
16:35They stopped bothering me and Ai,
16:37and we got to live peacefully.
16:39I gradually got used to talking to people
16:41and started making more friends.
16:44One day, I invited Ai over to my house.
16:48It's been a while. Come on in.
16:51Thank you.
16:53She still gets nervous around others, huh?
16:56This is my room.
16:58So, what do you want to do today?
17:00Well, I already said hi to your mom,
17:03so I think we're good.
17:05Huh?
17:07Can you sign this for me?
17:09A marriage certificate?
17:11My mom told me about you two.
17:14Turns out, we promised to marry each other when we were kids.
17:17We forgot, and there's no proof that we're together, right?
17:20So let's make it official now, okay?
17:23Okay!
17:25Wait, calm down for a sec!
