Why did he do that?!
This is the best way to avoid troubling anyone.
It's his fault.
You're not at fault.
Let's go back to the sharehouse.
- What's wrong? - Just run!
Hurry!
- Just hurry up and drive! - Michiru! Michiru!
- Hurry up and drive please! - Michiru!
Michiru!
'Your daughter, Kishimoto Ruka, inside her female body, there is a heart of a man. She is a monster. She looks intimately at women with disgusting ma
'inside her female body, there is a heart of a man.'
There are strange people in this world.
Takeru-kun,
you really understand Ruka.
I can't understand her sometimes.
Sometimes...
I feel like there's a barrier.
You heard all that?
I'm going for a walk.
Up until now,
I've been hiding it from everyone.
A secret that I never told anyone.
I want you to hear it.
Will you listen to it?
Sorry.
Before that, just one thing...
I also have something to say to you.
When I look at you I think,
that you're similiar to me.
Me too...
when I was a kid,
something happened to me.
I couldn't tell anyone, I was troubled by it.
But that's not what I want to talk about right now.
Something more important.
Ruka.
I...
like you.
I like you.
I rarely like people in this way,
and I'm certain about these feelings.
So I want you to feel easy and tell me anything.
Since...
I'll support you.
Sorry.
I can't respond to your feelings.
I...
Because...
there's someone else you like?
I see.
Sorry.
It's okay.
It's fine.
I already knew.
Ruka!
You haven't finished talking, right?
Didn't you have something that you wanted to tell me?
That's already...
It's about Michiru.
You know,
lately, I get irritated easily. And Michiru was affected by it, right?
Even though Michiru has been relying on me,
I get mad quickly.
That's why,
you should be nice to her. On my behalf as well.
Okay.
Start to like her.
I do like her.
More,
like her more.
What do you mean?
Michiru is...
very lonely. Unless someone supports her, she's helpless.
So, you should support her.
Takeru.
We'll be like we were before, right?
We can meet up like we did before, right?
Yeah.
- No, stop it. Ogurin... - I'm not Ogurin, I'm Wario.
Michiru-chan, you want to try?
What are you guys doing at this time of the night?
Welcome home.
The movie we went to watch today was quite boring,
so we went to Akihabara and he purchased it on impulse.
Right, Ogurin?
It's been bugging me.
It's fine since everyone can have fun with it.
That's right, that's right!
Today,
Somehow, I won the lottery!
That's great.
Six tickets to Tobu Zoo.
Let's all go together! Takeru and Michiru should come too.
Sure.
It should be good. Let's all go together.
Right, Takeru?
Right.
We should go all out every now and then.
And we haven't gone out together before either.
Now that you mention it, you're right.
You're right, it might be fun.
Hold on... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. What should we do with the last one?
You have someone in mind, right?
- Let me have a go at that. - Sure.
Player change.
- How do I play? - The second button is the accelerator.
- Watch this, Michiru-chan. - We're starting.
- Faster, faster, faster. - Something's passing you.
It's my first time though..
You're good at this.
I think that if I were to be by your side,
I would become your burden.
I'd have to show you my painful expression.
Ruka.
Even you,
were thinking of the same thing, weren't you?
Hayashida-san.
What's up?
I have something I want to discuss with you.
You have to take the rice crackers along. There's a whole heap of bananas too.
What should we do?
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Ruka!
What's this?
Ruka's supervisor, right?
On this trip, we'll be happily dating.
The person who you've liked for a long time?
That's right.
I never imagined that you'd go out with this type of guy.
- Unexpected! - What?!
I see. That's great. Sports-related buddies.
Very mature.
You've always taught Ruka about riding?
That's enough, that's enough of that.
- Let's get going. Get ready. - Hold on. I haven't decided on what candy to bring.
- It won't fit, will it? - It won't.

This is a free fansub!
[Tobu Zoo]
The next one is number 22.
Let's dominate this place.
Will you be going on rides like the rollercoaster?
That one?
There are lots of people!
Eri-san, we've got to hurry and line up!
Everyone, hurry up!
Hurry, hurry!
Takeru, Takeru.
Onee-chan!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I wonder what it is...
maybe it's my anaemia.
There's a bench over there, you should lie down.
I'm fine.
Takeru's not here. Neither is Michiru-chan.
You're right.
What should we do?
Isn't it fine if we leave them?
They aren't children.
Things might have gone well for them.
What? There was that kind of connection?
I want to ride that one.
Let's go on it together.
What about you Eri? That one there.
It looks good!
That's so cool!
I haven't rode a rollercoaster for a while, not since I became an adult.
Actually, it might be my first time since.
Commemorate, commemorate.
Stop jumping around like a little kid.
And also, what will you do if this photo is used as evidence of a love affair?
Huh?
Affair?
I never thought about it that way.
I think it'll be a disadvantage to you when you have your marriage trial or arbitration, though.
Really?
Here you go. Sorry for the wait.
Thank you very much.
It's okay, since I'm your boyfriend for today.
Hayashida-san, I'm sorry...
for getting you to pretend that we're going out.
It might be good to meet up with you at these kind of places once in a while.
Like we're dating.
What are you saying?
Are you okay?
Yep.
Everyone's late, aren't they?
They probably went somewhere for dinner.
Sorry.
You shouldn't have accompanied me back home.
It's fine, it's fine.
I'm not good with the rides which go up and down.
Takeru-kun.
If you're having a hard time or have some kind of worry, tell me.
Michiru-chan.
You helped me before,
and everyone else did too. That's why I'm here.
If you have any troubles, I also want to help.
When you're lonely, I'll be here to help.
Thank you.
But today, I was really tired.
Recently, I've been jammed up with work.
I see.
- The coffee is ready. - I'll pour it.
It's okay, I'll do it.
- I'm back. - I'm home.
I'm tired.
You guys... sorry about leaving first.
It's okay.
That's right.
That aside,
I'm hungry.
You haven't eaten yet?
We won't eat out without you.
Here, a gift.
Michiru, open it.
Go on.
Go on, open it.
[Welcome home Michiru]
Welcome home, Michiru.
Ruka said she wanted hold your welcome party today.
I never got around to holding the welcome party due to all the confusion.
I wanted to celebrate it properly.
- And that's what this is all about. - Looking forward to cooperate with you again.
Thank you.
You know,
I've always been scared of being alone.
I wanted someone close to me to tell me, "It's okay to be here."
What are you saying?
That's right.
Actually, you should stop being so formal to us.
Jump!
This is bad!
I'll pour coffee then.
- It's here! Takeru's coffee. - Master, we'll leave it to you.
I got it.
Kitchen Macaroni's deluxe Western Style lunch box for six people.
Thank you very much, Hayashida-san.
Here, please sit.
I get rough treatment from Kishimoto. You shouldn't treat your senior like an errand boy, really.
Thanks for your hard work.
I'll get you a cup of coffee.
It looks delicious.
I'll be borrowing this.
Here you go.
Thank you.
I'm starving.
Let's eat, let's eat.
Do you have a moment, Ruka?
Yeah.
What's wrong?
I've decided,
to break up with Sousuke.
I want to tell him clearly that I wanted a break up.
If it's now, I have the courage to tell him.
But you're not planning to meet and tell him, are you?
It's alright.
Wouldn't it be better if Eri or I called him?
There's no need.
I'll be okay by myself.
It's not good to have people doing everything for me.
I have to, by myself, draw the line and properly tell him.
I see.
Yeah.
[Aida Michiru]
You're coming home soon, right?
I thought you were going to come home.
The only place you belong, is here.
Sousuke.
I...
Thought about breaking up with you.
I want a break up.
Have you been brainwashed by those people?
- Those people? - Those sharehouse people.
They've been telling you all these good things, haven't they?
But in the end, they're unrelated. Those people will abandon you.
Aren't you...
mistaken?
I...
won't abandon you until I die.
You know,
when I'm with you,
I lose myself.
I became more and more concerned about you, until I can't think about myself.
Isn't it okay like that?
Me too.
My head is filled with things concerning you.
I also thought that it was okay.
But...
it's not.
I want to...
think for myself and live my own life.
I don't know what you're saying.
Even though I treasure you so much.
You...
hit me, didn't you?
Why did you do that?
Because I did what I wanted?
Instead of me,
don't you think that you're more important to yourself?
You're wrong.
I want us to be one.
Sorry.
I also...
don't know what you're saying.
- I'm sorry. - Wait.
Goodbye.
What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?
'Kishimoto Ruka has a heart of a man inside of her female body.'
'She's a monster.'
'...perverted mind...'
Hey,
what is this?
Kishimoto, what is this?
I don't know.
Do you have any idea who did it?
Probably Michiru's ex-boyfriend.
He's the worst kind of person, that DV guy.
Even if I were to severe my relationship with Michiru,
he'd most likely resent me with no reason, anyway.
I see.
So these are all lies then?
You don't believe this, do you?
No, I don't believe it...
Oi, Kishimoto!
You're living with a guy, aren't you?
It must be great. With that, you've got your life set.
Ogura-san.
I was wondering who it was.
I thought that I should at least use honorifics at work.
I got concert tickets for tomorrow. How about it? It's for Southern. [Note: Southern: short for Southern All Stars]
Sorry. I have to work overtime tomorrow.
Eri!
In that case, I understand.
Yes?
Are you free tonight? Do you want to go out and eat?
Hmmm, okay!
You don't have bread today?
Not today.
Where's your mother?
She hasn't come back.
- When was the last time she's here? - I don't remember.
Sorry for intruding.
I've eaten everything there was in the house.
I see.
Let's eat!
Does it taste good?
Yep!
Where's your mother?
She's not here, for a long time now.
Are you married?
I'm not,
but I had a girlfriend.
She's not here anymore?
Yeah.
Are you sad?
I'm not sad.
How come?
Because she'll come back.
Up until now,
I've been hiding something from everyone.
But...
I want you to hear it.
I'm home.
Ruka.
Did something happen?
The last time we talked,
that wasn't all what you wanted to say, was it?
If you're troubled over something, you can tell me.
I told you that you can tell me anything.
Because I'm your friend.
Aren't I, Ruka?
You're too loud!
Stop poking your nose into people's problem.
Friend, friend. That's what you say.
Some people,
there are things they don't want to say even when they die!
5...
6...
7...
8...
9...
10!
Takeru, Takeru.
Onee-chan!
Onee-chan?
Takeru, this way.
Takeru, this way, this way.
Onee-chan!
Takeru.
- Should I give you something good? - Yeah!
Keep it a secret from dad.
You're done already?
What's wrong?
Ruka.
If something happened, it's better to tell us.
We might be able to help if we all think about it.
I'm in a slump at the moment.
I can't get a good time during training.
Really?
Yes.
It happened several times before, right?
Don't worry, you'll be able to get out of it again.
Look at the time! Eri-san, we better go.
Thanks for the food. We're off.
- See you later. - See you.
Since I have some time before training, I'm going to sleep.
Ruka?
Because training was hard yesterday, I'm tired.
I...
broke up with Sousuke.
So you were able to properly say goodbye.
I was able to.
And I was able to properly break up with him.
It'll be good if he gives up on you this time.
Ruka,
are you listening?
Yeah,
I heard.
Isn't that good?
It's about time I take off.
I'll do the washing.
I'll help too.
Last night, you were crying...
Did you remember him?
You seem to know everything, Takeru-kun.
When I think about Sousuke,
and how I definitely can't go back,
to a memorable place that I seem to remember as being beautiful, it makes me sad.
It's strange, isn't it?
Even though in reality, it was hell.
I understand.
You do?
I've also had that kind of experience.
That kind?
I loved someone,
but then later,
I began to hate things about them.
You'll be fine.
Things will definitely change, bit by bit.
You'll find someone to love,
and you'll make friends,
and get distracted.
Even if a scar remained in your heart,
you'll eventually calm down,
as the scar will become smaller.
Is it okay to...
like you?
Takeru-kun,
Is it okay for me...
to like you?
Bonds between people...
...are truly fragile.
Love is...
broken easily, like a light snowfall.
Ruka.
By then,
the time I was able to spend together with you,
and the amount of happy time I had left,
was a lot less than I expected.
Mama!
It's dangerous!
You've been troublesome your whole life!
I'm thinking of moving.
Is it true that you're planning to leave?
I'm thinking of moving out of the sharehouse.
It's painful...
A never-changing love.
[From Sousuke]
Her presence might exist as it is now.
[I love you]
Could it be that your feelings towards Ruka...
Ruka!
Don't go, Ruka!
Out now.
