Orienteering! They told those of us from Class 2-2 to get started!
What are you so excited about?
I'm trying to shake off the incompetence!
The only ones who are excited for this are you and Kominato.
Let's get out and go!
Yo, yo, yo!
Super orienteering!
You'll get sucked into it soon, too, Kou! Just you wait!
We're gonna score a lot of them points!
Sounds like a pain.
Move out!
Yeah!
I'm doing my best.
I'm going to improve our team's vibe!
So I can unite our feelings.
I just know something will start from there.
Something new!
Ah! Found the checkpoint!
Checkpoint
Hey, there you are!
We're doing a mixed juice guessing game.
There are ten ingredients in all.
For each one you identify, you get one point!
Apple and banana are definites, right?
Oh, what else...
Mabuchi's having a weird reaction.
What's wrong, Kou?
Tastes like celery.
What, really?
Hmm...
I don't know...
It's definitely in there.
Kou, you don't like celery?
Let's put some faith in that reaction.
Murao-san, that's not fair! Figure it out with us!
Of course, it's only full of things that are safe to drink, right?
Of course! I made it myself.
Thyme.
What? You want a time-out?
No. There's thyme in it.
Thyme?
Oh! Thyme the herb?
Amazing! You're the first team that's guessed celery and thyme!
You've got the highest score yet!
the
Here!
It's your point card and your first keyword.
Collect them all, okay?
Okay!
Hey.
You starting to want to try to win with our team?
I sure am!
But are the others into it?
It's hot out here.
They seem kind of into it
I'll do my best!
I feel like our feelings are united for the first time!
Okay! Let's get this going!
Wait! Wait!
We should look at the map.
Yoshioka, consider the meaning of the smiles on that team.
Huh?
You're such a genius!
Members of another team
Let's keep it going!
Those smiles will lead us to the checkpoint!
Go, go, go!
W-Wait, everyone! Let's check the map!

I've got a feeling the next one is that way!
But let's look at the map!

This way!
Wait! The map!

This way!
The map...
Is that the last checkpoint?
Yeah. We're finally here.
I feel like I haven't contributed anything.
You didn't tell Yoshioka-san what you saw during cleaning time?
Would it have been okay to tell her?
I didn't tell her anything. Don't worry.
I think it would be okay to tell Futaba-chan, but...
What is it? What are we talking about?
It's nothing, Futaba-chan!
I see!
I guess I shouldn't pry any further, then.
I keep getting cut off from the things I want to say.
But this is no time to get all depressed!
The reason I'm working hard right now is to change that.
Next! Next!
Okay! We got all the keywords!
Um, we're supposed to line them up, right?
in the the area lake biggest
"The biggest lake in the area"?
Oh, that must be the finish line!
Here it is!
We've got good points, and our time is really great.
I think we could seriously...
Win!
Let's go!
Um, where are we?
We've just been running around randomly all this time,
so I don't know our current location.
I know! We could use an app on our smartphones!
We left those with the teachers.
What should we do?
No problem!
In terrain like this, you look at the shape of the mountains,
the location of the sun, and work it out from there!
We're lost. Completely.
This sucks.
What, are you saying this is my fault?
I wasn't saying that.
You all went along with me!
I said I wasn't saying that!
This is no time to argue!
We just have to get out of these woods!
The woods aren't that big.
If we just keep walking, we'll find a way out eventually.
But...
Is it okay to just walk around randomly?
Don't you think
it would be better to wait here until the teachers come to find us?
I hear a river.
If the finish line is on the other side of the river,
the way out should be in that direction, too.
Let's just get as far as we can while the sun's out.
And, if it gets totally dark,
we'll do what Makita suggested and stay wherever we are.
How does that sound?
It's okay. We're all here with you!
Hey, there it is! The river!
The current doesn't seem very fast. It's safe.
Let's go.
Sure!
Easy, easy!
Don't relax until it's finished.
That scared me!
Yuuri, be careful!
I'm scared! I can't do it!
Don't be scared! Go rock by rock!
Just jump!
Calm down! You can do it!
Don't say it all at once!
Don't worry.
What is she doing?
Makita!
Here. Take my hand.
But I'm scared!
It's fine! Come here!
C'mon.
I'm gonna fall! I'm gonna fall! I'm scared!
But you did it.
Let's keep going, just like that.
Okay?
Sure.
Makita! Do your best!
Kou... he really is amazing. He completely calmed Yuuri down.
Look at that, you did great!
Thank you, Mabuchi-kun.
Sure.
I'm sorry I worried you.
No, I'm glad you're okay!
Okay, let's go.
We'd better pick up the pace a little.
This is bad. The foot I fell on earlier... it really hurts to walk on it!
Does your foot hurt?
Oh, no, not at all!
It does, doesn't it?
From before?
Futaba-chan...
I'll find the way out and have a teacher come for us.
It'll be dark soon. It's dangerous to keep going like this.
It would be more worse for us to split up.
If it gets dark before you find the way out, that would be more dangerous.
I can take it! Let's just keep walking!
Kominato, take this.
Here.
I'll carry you. Get on.
What?! No!
That's embarrassing!
I don't care about your sense of modesty.
Just get on, if you don't want to slow everyone down.
Futaba-chan. I'll take your bag.
Sure.
Well... if you insist, then.
I'm heavy.
It's fine. Get on.
Okay.
Wow. More than I thought...
I-I really will weigh you down! I-I'll walk, after all!
It's fine. If you weigh me down, it just reminds me that you're there.
That's a weird reassurance...
But... it's like he's saying he wants me to be here.
Not a bad feeling, right?
It's weird...
So warm...
Smells like Kou...
Yuuri...
You still awake?
Yeah, I'm awake.
Today got complicated, but it was fun, wasn't it?
Yeah. Though we came in dead last in the end.
Listen...
...during the orienteering...
You and Murao-san...
Never mind.
Futaba-chan. I...
I've been by myself for a long time, but that doesn't mean I wasn't lonely.
When you talked to me the first time, do you know how happy it made me?
That's why...
I'll never leave you by yourself, Futaba-chan.
M-Me either! Because I know what it feels like to be all by yourself!
So I'll stay with you, too, Yuuri. No matter what happens.
Okay!
Kou...?
Kou!
Yoshioka.
What are you doing up at this hour?
I happened to wake up. I thought I'd watch the sunrise.
Is your foot okay?
It's fine now. The medicine worked.
I see.
The sky's getting lighter. You can't tell if it's night or day.
This sky's a little like you, Kou.
In what way?
I can't tell if you're nice or not.
That's just like you, too, then.
Huh?
I can't tell if you're incompetent or capable.
The time between night and day...
That's what we are.
It's chilly out here. Put it on.
But won't you be cold, Kou?
Just do it.
Thanks.
It's still a little while longer before sunrise.
I know!
You got the jump on me!
You...
You went back to the room, but didn't get yourself a jacket?
Oh, that's right! Sorry, I'll give back your parka.
It's fine.
Keep it on.
And... it's coming! It's coming!
It's here!
The night has ended.
It's the start of a new day!
The smell of wet earth.
The smell of dewy grass.
The smell of morning in May.
I don't think I'll ever forget watching the sunrise
with everyone like this!
So that someday, when you look back,
the people you experienced it with will see it as a "happy memory"
with the same warmth that you do.
I liked that thing you said. Feels like "being young."
You're embarrassing me.
You shy about that kind of thing?
People should save the stoic act for when they get all old!
I don't think you'll ever change, even when you do grow old.
Anyone forget anything? No one? We're moving out!
Heavy!
Shuuei Line - Sakigatani Station
Yeah. Sure, thanks.
Mom said she'd pick me up.
I see.
It really doesn't hurt that much anymore.
Still, it's better not to push it.
Yeah. You're right.
Kou, you're not going home?
Oh, a cat.
Were you waiting with me?
I'll be okay. You can go home if you—
Hey, look at this guy! He's got one sock on.
He's still a little one, huh?
Think he's a stray? He's so tame.
I'm starting to learn things about Kou.
He hates celery.
He likes cats.
His teasing is only superficial.
Deep down... he's nice.
Oh, the car's here.
Then I'll go home, too.
Later.
Kou!
Thanks for waiting with me.
I was just playing with the cat.
That's what I thought you'd say!
He's not the Kou from back then.
His voice has changed. He's taller.
But the 16-year-old Kou...
I know him now.
And what's causing my heart to pound is...
The 16-year-old Kou... I really...
An e-mail from Yuuri?
From: Yuuri Title: All done! Is your leg okay? Things got really complicated at training, but it was fun, huh? I feel like we're all closer than before.
"I'm not mad at Kominato-kun anymore..."
And... Listen... I... I think I've fallen for Mabuchi-kun!
Next Episode . . .
The reason I think I really like him is...
Because when he helped me cross the river in the forest, he was so nice.
He made my heart pound, but... he also set me at ease...
